Chevrolet Corvette Stingray C7 Forum - View Single Post - Should Camaro get its own platform again?

The Alpha seems to be a well received platform but, with so many cars and power trains being used on the Alpha, couldn't the Camaro benefit from having its own platform that isn't so compromised? As far as I know, the Mustang rides on its own platform and is priced competitively to the Camaro. What are the benefits of the Camaro using a corporate platform? It can't be cost related because the Camaro isn't any cheaper than the Mustang.

Maybe my understanding of this is way off base but I just was thinking about it and curious to what other people think.
