Done!

I would not say that I dislike the Camaro or its fans. I just find the car unappealing. It doesn't seem to have a natural fit anywhere. It is neither a classic Pony Car nor a classic Muscle Car. It's kind of like that awkward stepchild that doesn't fit in very well and sometimes tries too hard...

Ford has always understood very well where the Mustang fits. They may have lost some battles, but they never lost their way in understanding where the Mustang fits. I don't think I said anything as dramatic as "there's a huge marketing push coming next summer with the gawdawful but hugely...

Which part is too dramatic and which part did I get wrong?

I agree that the Pony Car is a sweet spot that Ford understands best. Dodge/Plymouth and Chevy/Pontiac had the better large Muscle Cars and they cornered themselves with big OHV motors for those cars. Dodge seems to know the Challenger is not a Pony Car and they have been willing to stick to...

Only the magazines and the OEMs with bigger stock performance numbers care about what is stock or not. Ford seems to care about the original Pony Car meme of making your car unique for your interests and supporting an aftermarket that lets you easily mod your car. Competing on a track should be...

OhOh! "This new 10-speed rear-drive transmission is the result of collaboration between Ford and General Motors, although Ford had the engineering lead on it. The companies also are jointly developing a nine-speed transverse automatic for front-drive cars and crossovers; GM is leading the...

I don't think Ford has anything to be embarrassed about with the output from its series of OHC engines. Neither does GM with their OHV motors nor FCM with their Hemi. They all have good options for performance and they each have something to boast about. Chevys are small and compact with big...

It looks like something has changed in the Camaro profit/exclusivity strategy. https://www.cars.com/for-sale/search...rchSource=SORT Some Camaro6 people are not happy! Quote: Chevy just approved a 16 Percent discount to 2016 Camaros left in stock. That makes 2016 cars worth a ton less...

High on my list of reasons why the new Camaro is not selling well is that the Alpha platform is too small and cramped, so in that sense I agree with you they might have been better off with the old platform, especially with the non-enthusiast buyers. But their old platform was too heavy and my...

I would be pretty pissed if someone I didn't know who was familiar with the Dragon tailed me like that when I was there for the first time. It looks like this guy kept looking for some stranger in a nice car that he could show off to. The cars in front crossed the center line many times which...

The only numbers I can shed additional light on are sales in Canada Brand / August / 2016YTD / % of YTD Sales Mustang / 692 / 6297 / 58% Camaro / 234 / 2014 / 19% Challenger / 225 / 2566/ 24%

They need another big warning sign on the visor. "Cold Tires Are Slippery"

I keep puzzling as well over the reasons for Camaro's decline. I agree with your list except for #4 (don't think that's a really big deal), but I would certainly add the space issue of the Alpha platform. But there is another issue that I think few have mentioned. Camaro just does not have...

Here's another post from C6 where an angry fanboy is equating Camaros to Charmin toilet paper. Warning! This post contains some real butt hurt language. "I'll let you in on a little secret...Mustangs suck and I don't care how many people buy it each month. Most people buy bargain brand toilet...

US sales only. Even Canada is not included where Mustang outsells Camaro 3 to 1.

Camaro at 5604 for August Challenger at 5262 Yeah, Camaro is on it's way to the top now!!

That doesn't seem to be widely recognized by all of the Mustang and Challenger buyers.

It was scheduled to be on FS1 on Saturday, but when I checked out the recording it said IMSA CTSC but was actually NASCAR trucks. I guess they switched because of the length of full course yellow and red flag due to rain. The WSC race was on FS1 on Sunday as per schedule. Ford GT #66 came in...

Could thePill elaborate a bit more on your thoughts about the GT4 changes in IMSA? My reading on this topic quickly got me in over my head. For example, does "unrestricted 550hp GT350" mean no BOP restrictions to give the 1LE or Z28 their turn to take the championship? Always appreciate...
