I was looking around on the Seattle Auto Show website and saw this under the "Concepts/specialty" section.

Could this be a hint at Ford's Camaro response? There's no text associated with the picture, but here's the link anyway:

LOL, if they do it in that manner I will laugh. Shows how much air is required to keep Ford's radiators cool lol. Honestly that picture looks like Japan and Ford got together combining the import style to it. I dislike that concept more than any other I have seen

But as far as what I think Ford will do, is just add something to the body, like more curves or something in that category. They will try to give it a more appealing look as far as the body. Interior wise I can't see them doing much without losing the retro look or without making it worse :\.

Not trying to bash on Fords by the way, just stating what I think.

Me niether.... But, in any event - nice info, I had no idea Ford could muster "600" horsepower...

Oh, God, I hope not! I completely agree with Jeff on this one, Ricer-Mustang...

I could also just be yet another special edition...I swear, they're like roaches....

The Mustang GT-R concept was for a race-specific Mustang meant primarily for track duty. It was shown around the same time as the Camaro and Challenger concepts I believe, but wasn't really a response to them. It was more to show what Ford could do for a dedicated race vehicle.

[Rock36]

+1

That is just a track oriented concept car.

Though, if I am not mistaken I think that GT-R concept actually came out prior to the inital release of the current generation Mustang in 2004.

Look on the net...

It's a bird, it's a Camaro.....























































IT'S A RIPOFF.

Seriously, that was the drawing last year. People liked it, but a lot fo magazines said it bears a striking resemblence to a certain car that's been revealed already. Not naming any names.

We poke fun at Ford alot, but we still have respect for the other American companies. It's a friendly rivalry.

I think it's the new Cobra R. That would actually be competition for a Z06 I believe. Stock for sure, and maybe even a modded one. IIRC, they were around $150k at one point.

Oh believe me I know, My dad drives a ford and he picks on me because not only do I drive a ford I own a 95 Camaro as well lol so yeah, I'm preparing to do a front end conversion sometime in the next 6 months so yeah lol

My wife had a Mustang and I have the Camaro. I had a few people walk by the house when the garage was open and comment that you don't see that everyday. hehe...Of couse the Camaro is still in the garage and the Mustang sold off...ahhhhhhh....

[Cubanaso]

Yeah I wouldn't mind a sub 400hp V8 as the base V8 offering in the Camaro if it made it more affordable, in the mid 20,000 range. I think that is perfectly reasonable, as the G8 (a bigger, more upscale vehicle) with a 360 hp/390 lb ft engine starts at $30,000. Also, I agree that performance is subjective based on what you look for. Good performance to a 1/4 miler is not nearly the same as performance to an autocrosser, or a road racer, or a rally driver, or someone who enters open highway races like the Silver State Challenge. Each racing style has its own unique performance demands. I hope the new Camaro is well rounded enough to excel in many of them, just like the older ones were.

AMEN to that!

I would rather have her driving a Mustang rather than a import car if I were you lol.
