But I'm sure GM will setup and increase the HP numbers across the board to keep in competive with the Mustang.

Been saying this for a long time. As long as the cars are decently competitive in performance, its will always be the LOOK of the car that determines the winner.
Next gen mustang, with 475 HP, and at 3,400 lbs would still not outsell a Camaro with 460HP and 3,450 lbs if the Camaro looked much better.
Bet on that.

I'll be in utter amazement if they really can shed a couple hundred lbs off the current Mustang and throw a 475HP V8 in there. It will be a freaking monster.
I predict the next gen Camaro V8 to be around 3,550 lbs and have the LT1 with 450 or so HP...that alone will demolish the current pony cars. If Ford does even better it will be something.
Welcome to the new golden age of muscle.
...and all I want is a measly 330+ HP V6 in a 3,400 lb Camaro.
