I just can't see them breaking the $10,000 differential between the two cars even with the Camaro "nicely equipt". Once you break that differential, you are in a whole new realm.

IMO I think we will see the "entry level" V8 (L76) undercut the Mustang's Base V8 pricing and the LS3 will be competitively priced with the premium V8 Mustang at around $29,000 for the base w/ no options. Now that would give the Mustang sales a run for their money (pun intended!)

Perhaps this is just wishful thinking, but I really think it could happen. Even with inflation, the cost of a 2002 Camaro Z28 in today's dollars is still under $30,000.
THANK YOU, for two reasons...

1) you agreed with me

-AND-

2) You gave me some hope...I thought I was being over-the-top wishful, but it's not too hard to visualize, right? Right?
