I would also add to get rid of the hideous double bulge over the gauges.

The gt500 costs 20k more than the zl1 because its worth 20k more. People slobber over this shelby. It will hold its value far better than the zl1.

That is a crappy arm rest/storage area between the seats.

I think they need to invest in some good designers and get the exterior and visibility issues fixed. Throw in the LT5 to give better performance. But fixing the esthetics is the main issue to keep the Camaro viable. Most Camaro and Mustang sales come from what they look like to the customer buying a 30k all the way up to 100k obviously.

The visibility is because the whole car/roof line is two inches lower that the Mustang. If they raised the roof to be equal, it would have visibility. But then it would raise the center of gravity.

The interior is ... odd. It's got most of the "required" tech, the materials are decent (though I really dislike Alcantara in a street car), but there's some design choices that are just out of left field. It's very "over designed", and even in that context, it's still inconsistent. It's like they had 10 designers spec each area/component, then put them in a box, and randomly drew each item.

Let's go guys, up the mustang talk. We've got 70 pages to go.

Will Ford do a more extreme track version of the GT500, i.e. a true "GT500R"? Maybe that's why they didn't use the name for the CFTP car? ... maybe waiting for Chevy's response?

I agree that it is worth the premium in price as it does everything well in either Base or CF form, it's not a 1 trick pony.

That being said I think depreciation will be similar for both brands percentage of actual cost to actual used value. Right now the limited availability of the 500 will hold values much higher but as supply increases this will no longer be the case.

My plan is hold out for a year or two and then begin searching for a low mileage used 500 base. Pricing should have settled by that point.

That's all architectural major stuff. None of that can our will happen until there is a Camaro 7. Speaking of which......

I remember some guy saying that back when the eulogies for Camaro were being written. Pretty sure I remember somebody saying that. Oh wait....that was me.

Even so, the GM Authority piece isn't exactly proof positive of a Gen 7. The surveys that a number of Camaro owners are receiving with a number of powertrain choices and EV spec choices is a more solid indication that work is being done on Gen 7. There still needs to be final approval, but that's true of every GM vehicle program. Thing is, it's definitely in the mix.
