That camaro in the movie is still faster than the current Mustang GT..

Well it's kinda obvious that he would be a bit hostile towards GM as his car was set to be the hero, then the big guys come in and throw down quite a bit of money to have all the heroes be their brand; H2, Solstice GXP, Camaro... then the movie company turns around and asks him to build the very car that stole his limelight. I'd probably be pissed too. So to add insult to injury, (and GM will go for it, because it'll help them out too) he'll build a Saleen Camaro, he'll make money off of it, it'll boost the Base and SS sales as most people won't want to drop as much or quite a bit more for the Saleen as an LS7 or Z28. In the end everyone wins. He'll get some sales from those who will love his cars, as there will undoubtedly be many, GM gets free advo, "Saleen, the 'stang tuners, are making our car too." And overall, we, the consumers get more choices. So while it may not be your cup of tea, it's for the best IMO.
