You should be shot.
All i have to say is history repeats itself. So will the Camaro(get it?). Sure it has a bigger engine and more hp/tq. To some it could even have a better interior and ride quality. But the fact of the matter is, they are not cheap like a Mustang and they aren't expensive like a Corvette. Their inbetween, and their isn't a very big market for that.
The majority of teenagers and people under 30-40 will buy a Mustang. Its cheap, its fast, its nice. It also has 4 seats for friends/kids/family.
People over 40 will buy a Corvette. Its a two seater, powerful, nice looking. They don't need a 4 seater anymore because all he has to haul around is his wife, the kids are gone. Don't you wonder why when you see Corvettes on the road that 9 out of 10 of them have automatics? Its because the old men that own them no longer like to drive manuals. Plus alot of the older people that have corvettes buy them when they are older simply becuase they can afford them, and they couldn't in their younger years.
The Mustang is still here today simply becuase it is exactly what Ford builds it to be. An AFFORADABLE sports car. Its built for a purpose, and its serves that purpose very well i might add.
For those of you saying they want to pump up the hp/engine on the GT and redesign the interior with better quality materials, forget it. Thats what they make the GT500 for and other Special addition models. So for you guys that want Ford to make the Base model GT better then the Camaro, unless you want the Mustang to go belly up like its competitors(Camaro for example) i think you should rethink your idea of the Mustang GT.
If it isn't fast enough for you(Mustang GT) then modify it. Who cares if you have to modify a stock GT to beat a stock Camaro. Everybody modifys their car, its part of owning one. Plus, the Mustang has the largest aftermarket support of any car. So parts aren't hard to come by. And for most, the Mustang parts are cheap compared to other Cars. So be thankful.
Another thing that i really like is people comparing the Mustang to the Corvette. Yes, you can add cubic inches and install a blower and it will be just as fast(Not a proven fact, just trying to get a point across) as a Corvette. But as i sad above, they are 2 different cars built for different purposes. You should not compare the 2.
Edit: Now i could be wrong on somethings, but this is just things i've noticed over the years. Lets hear your input!
