GT350 vs Camaro 1LE

[krt22]

Has anyone seen the new Camaro in person???

Yeah, it took me a few miles to realize it was the "new" camaro. Unless you put them side by side I can barely tell the different between the two

I have, only one out on the road though.

I've sat in one a few times at a dealership.

February 2016 sales report

Mustang 9,993 18% (Pr Ye)
Camaro 6,151 -4% (Pr Ye)
Challenger 5,585 6% (Pr Ye)

I guess the Chevy boys won't trade-in there G5 for a G6 when both cars look almost the same.

Kinda difficult to make that judgment when supply is low, convertibles aren't available yet, and turbo 4s aren't available yet. Considering the take rate on the Ecoboost Mustang, the sales will jump substantially when the turbo 4 Camaro is out. The Stang is still holding strong right at 10K units. Nice work, Ford!

I've heard that same sad Chevy story every month since November.

Ford didn't have there 2015 convertible ready until Spring....

As far as the 4 banger Ford makes alot more power.

I still think it's going to be a lot closer once the full lineup is rolled out. Turbo 4s are very popular. It will be interesting nonetheless.

I don't think the T4 Camaro will sell well, personally. Remember when it was hinted that the Camaro might get a four-banger in the 6thGen? Camaro faithful went ballistic at the thought. Now they think that engine option will fire up sales. Go figure.

I think it goes down the 2016 looking very much like the 2015 from a side view look. Chevy may have to do a complete restyle by 2018.

I can almost guarantee you that the turbo Camaro will be on par with or better performing than the ecoboost mustang.

How is supply low? Haven't they been building this 6G for like 5 months now?

I think DESIRE and WANT is low. Big difference.

There's been so many contrary, backwards, multiplying variations of why the Camaro hasn't sold as well as the fans were expecting I can't keep the stories straight.

Supposedly they're either adding or added a 3rd Shift on a LGR and the T4 was delayed due to union issues or reworking or something.

Availability isn't an issue, if I magically produce $45,000 out of thin air I could buy a 2SS automatic and be home within 2 hours, and I'm in sleepy Southern Oregon.

There are actually more Camaro SS's available in my area than Mustang GT's and Hemi Challengers.

Mustang 2.3 = 310HP & 320TQ
Camaro 2.0 = 275HP & 295TQ (must be using 1990 technology)

It also weighs a good bit less.

When it come to HP to Cubic Inches the Chevy engine always behind the Ford engines in performance.

Example: Camaro 7.0L @505HP.
Mustang 5.2L @ 526HP

A bit less displacement and a bit lower boost.

The 2.0..which GM calls the LTG or something like that, hasn't exactly had a super duper success rate in the ATS.
