You can come up with all sorts of reasons why the corvette shouldn't be compared to the pony cars, but the fact is that people with $60,000 to spend DO ask themselves "should I get a corvette or a high-end pony car?" They are, in fact, in competition, even if theory says they shouldn't be.

It's because of this that I don't think GM will make the Z28 all that powerful. Corvette is a cherished icon for the company, and something like a 600hp Camaro would be too much GM-to-GM competition (regardless of whether or not it has a back seat), and I think the company's learned its lesson about competing against its own brands.
