That's just the way I see it, as unbiased as I can. You can kind of argue that same point for the Boss, but not as heavily and holding of an argument, Since Ford took what they had already done with the GT and expanded on it.
But I will say that I don't think GM can have enough damn models of the Camaro out! Holy shit there are so many!
Base, RS, SS, 1LE, ZL1, Z/28
Might as well make the Camaro it's own damn brand name as it has enough models to support a whole dealership.

Perhaps you can educate me since I don't know any history on Mustangs but, I would assume the original Boss 302 was the same concept on the current model. Just a more track-oriented version of a GT. Educate me if I am wrong
Chevy does have too many damn models of that and the Corvette. It's like buying a 911. I miss the days when you either wanted the car or you didn't.

It was funny reading this whole thread. I understand that a lot of people here only like Ford's, however, it's sad to put down another car manufaturer based on opinions.
I saw someone say something about GM owing the taxpayer's money. Last time I checked they have already paid back the money they borrowed. Also, don't go saying as if Ford never needed to borrow money because they did too, a couple years before GM and Chrysler. Everyone was hurting back then.
I also saw comments about needing more power to win. You cannot compare power alone to see which is the obvious faster car. Power to weight ratio makes that difference. By now I'd think that everyone knows the Camaro is going to be the heavier car until they re-design the chassis/suspension (which was borrowed from another car to get the Camaro going)
As for the R compound tires. How many people here drive on R compound? Quite a bite the last time I checked. Also if it they were track only tires it wouldn't be allowed on the street which I am pretty sure the z28 is.

I do love this one the best though. Last time I checked Mustang had the same number of models. When you went to price one out you have a V6 base, V6 Premium, GT Base, GT Premium, Boss, and GT500. That also doesn't include Roush and Saleen that you buy from the dealers. Those are unlisted vehicles that you can order direct from Ford. I understand that most of those are the same car with different options. But Ford sells them as different models'. You also cannot include 1LE as a model as it is an option on the SS. Just like the Track Pack or Recaro's are. One other way to look at it then is the RS = V6, SS = GT, ZL1 = GT500, Z/28 = Boss. So where are all of these extra models?

You do have me on that. I guess what I was saying those is that all of those "model" are actually badged on the cars. Mustangs are badged as a V6, GT, Boss, or GT500. You don't see someone running around with "V6 premium" on their car, or "400A Package", etc. That's what I was getting at.

Which is great for a track car taking a lot of driver error out of the equation.

The government still has billions of dollars worth of Chevy stock that was part of the government bail out. Chevy is trying to force the government to sell it at a loss of billions. So yes they do owe us money and the stock we are selling is at a loss that we will never get back. Its good Obama accounting.

Ok, I stand corrected. There is still 15+ billion in stock that hasn't been sold that wont be 100% recovered. However, I found this article talking about how much would be lost if there wasn't a bailout due to job lost and it actually makes sense, provided it is fairly accurate of course. http://wardsauto.com/blog/dear-taxpa...epaid-interest
