If the Camaro comes out as originally scheduled in '09 (my guess is sooner), they have to compete with the Stang and Challenger. Die hard, true blue Camaro guys are a smaller market than the average joe who just wants a sporty car and has no brand loyalty. Its the average non-commital people that GM has to sell the car to to make money. Maybe the gouging will be minimal. One things for sure, Ford won't be able to gouge folks for Mustangs and Shelby GT500s much longer.
Regular mustangs and even regular GT's can be had for sticker or lower with ease. And its not Ford its the dealers responsible for gouging.
