Parity?
With no GT500 moving forward, Ford was finally forced into the 21st Century with the full-line adoption of IRS, the single-greatest improvement for this platform. NOT just to align with Camaro and EVERYBODY ELSE, but to fully satisfy the other part of this platform's Business Case. Yes, a 4-dr RWD Lincoln version.
And if Ford now has "parity" with Camaro, what will a Camaro with near-10% leanness deleted from its platform mean for competitiveness, moving forward? Quickly. With their enhanced powerteams?
By most calculations (and conspicuous by its absence in the Great Reveal), the '15 GT will be lucky to lose 100 lb. Not the 200+ that Ford misled people to believe would be across the board. Is that because the platform had to be built to a LINCOLN standard as opposed to a plebeian EuroStang set of stats?
AGAIN, with respect to the BOSS, Ford has confused the marketplace by using ONE name with TWO versions. And version LS is faaaar superior in certain environs that the mere base BOSS.
More obfuscation.
