To be fair, Ford has seriously limited the options on the V6, and detuned the car to give the ecoboost the peak hp advantage. For a very small price increase one can get a much better equipped ecoboost than a very basic v6.

The camaro is the better performance car right now. The camaro and mustang swap back and forth all the time, but are usually pretty close stock vs. stock. There are only a few exceptions where one is astronomically better than the other. Why this bothers anyone is beyond me. The two cars are...
I see mustangs, camaros, and challengers everywhere. Can't go anywhere without seeing several. I even see several Maserati frequently. Would I like to have the only mustang around? Sure, but it doesn't bother me that there are 100's of thousands made every year. I didn't buy a mustang for...
If the mustang/camaro were "exclusive", they wouldn't cost 35k for a v-8 model. Economies of scale are what make them affordable and Aston Martins less so.
Granted price is not completely based on how many they make, it's just one very big factor. Aston Martins, for example, are expensive...
Some people like statistics. It's what auto manufacturers base future decisions on, so it will give us some insight into where things are moving to.
I wouldn't be so sure the camaro will out sell the mustang by much. The relatively few people, who aren't brand loyal, looking for the best car...
As others have mentioned, it's mostly because of winter setting in and people wanting winter oriented vehicles. Although I believe if we look at some of the charts usually posted with the sales every month that you will notice the sales typically drop off a month or two earlier than this.
I have a hard time seeing ford putting a manual transmission in any performance car. Ford puts manual only in all of the performance cars.
Fiesta ST, Focus ST, Focus RS, Mustang ecoboost PP, Mustang GT PP, GT350, GT350R are all manual only. I remember reading somewhere a while ago that Ford...
Yup, GM's sales didn't increase enough with the larger warranty to justify the extra warranty costs. If the extra warranty wasn't costing them much they would keep it at 100k miles or extend it even further as a testament to their reliability.
Is the 6th gen camaro really going to cost 5k...
Defrost usually works for me on my various cars. I have heard that clay bar and a cleaner wax helps out a bunch. Never tried it so I don't know how true that is.
I love the idea of the RS, especially if it has 320+hp and the rumored performance AWD system, but I don't know that I could choose that over a mustang. I just love mustangs too much. If I chose another performance car over the mustang it would be something like a viper or some other expensive...
I did a very small amount of google-ing and asked my chevy buddy and can't find anything about a price cut.
Edit: just found a post on camaro5 where GM is offering rebates on certain VIN number camaros for 20% off. Sounds more like a promotion than a price cut like chevy did with the '15 trucks...
I haven't heard of a price drop other than from the pill either, but I suspect it to be true now that the Z06 is out. Given the choice between a Z/28 and a Z06, most people will choose the Z06.
That is the most appropriate use of a gif I think I have ever seen.
Also, super excited were finally getting it. It was also confirmed in Ford's press release about the svt name change.
