And honestly I'm one of those that felt as soon as I saw EVOS that all it needed was a running pony in the grill, three piece taillights, and a few other nods to past cues, and it was golden. Though I may be in the minority there.

One thing to keep in mind, they are aiming at a much broader audience this time. And while we've been been promised that the car will remain "distinctly American" there WILL be aspects that don't appeal to all the current perspective buyers and even current owners. Perhaps losing a little in the...

I'll be keeping my Terminator regardless to be my "mod toy", but most likely I'll be picking up a 50th Anniv GT 'vert to have as a cruiser. If offered in the first year I'll see if the wife will allow me a GT350, but to be honest I think a well equipped GT will do just fine.

Not if Ford believes that the next gen could be so radically different (read as "off putting") from the current gen that it may turn off buyers that don't want a huge change in their beloved pony car. If that's the case then revealing the changes may actually push sales by encouraging those...

I just want to use a plate frame or similar to extrapolate the width. Size dimensions are my biggest concerns as of now.

While the idea of a '14.5 is an interesting one and a great way to move some lingering S197's off the lots. I don't believe an appearance (or even performance) package on the current platform could sway me from my S550 purchase. Which, if there is no specific model between the GT and which...

Just remember that those from a time of 3speed nonOD autos most likely felt the same about a 6speed DblOD auto. And as stated before, its now the norm.

The current GT500 with its SC5.8 is also cost prohibitive "on so many levels". There are plenty of people who like that aspect. It keeps them "exclusive" and just like the current gen if they are made, they WILL be bought.

However if Ford really wanted to, the way it would seem to be most frugally would be to keep them as similar as possible whilst changing the "character" or each. Primarily the asperation of the mills: 1) a "base" N/A 5.0 2) a high(er) compression, higher revving, maybe DI, 5.0 (going to 5.2...

Now, as far as the IRS goes, I was under the impression that this was a Gen3 CBIRS. If that is the case not only will that keep SRA->IRS weight gain down but also allow the car to behave more like an SRA under a drag type launch than a traditional multi link IRS set up.

Well it seems painfully obvious that a "new" car/platform will ride better than one that is 24+ years old(32+ for the platform). And like anything, parts wear and break down over time. So as long as your using the car it'll get worse over time. However, regular changes/upgrades of any/all...

This^… and this has always been the case. My old '96 v6 had an infinitely more comfortable ride than my Terminator. But like said earlier, if you're not looking for speed but still want the look of the car opt for the base car. Now a days that's by no means a bad thing.

Isn't the 6th gen Camaro also getting the version if Alpha that'll underpin the CTS and not the shorter ATS wheelbase version? I could've swore I read that somewhere on Camaro5 a while back. If not disregard this question. If so, this could and would further hamper GM's efforts to drop...

No, I don't believe it would. One simple way to keep the two out of each other's hair would be to make one a very high tech, well equipped, and high amenity whole still retaining that go fast aspect. While the other would fill the roll of low feature, "sport oriented", pure speed with no...
