IMO, it is a joke that Ford thinks they can use a pony car to fight the Camaro and the Corvette. The Camaro is the Mustang's competition. No matter what Ford does with the Mustang, GM has made it clear that they will use the Camaro to counter it. The Corvette is a totally different car aimed at a different customer. If you want to know what GM thinks of the Corvette brand just look at what cars they used to bench mark the C7. It certainly isn't Mustang company.
