It really isn't a car for a lot of folks. All the niceties that were stripped out are stuff that 95% of people are willing to pay more for, that are tangible to them so they have value to them. BUT in reality its way cheaper for Ford to put in a Leather interior or navigation system than a Torsen diff, adjustable shocks, and Recaro seats. And the engineering behind getting it all to work right and be reliable on and off the track. Thats why it costs much more than a regular GT, and its not made for a lot of folks, its made for a few which is all they expect to sell to up the standard Mustang's profile. Its unfortunate GM doesn't have the money to throw behind such ventures.
There have been no tests of it yet, but with 28 more horses on tap, very aggressive engine programming (thanks to the Key there was so much debate about), reduced weight and better everything underneath, I am sure it would hand a regular GT its ass as well as the 1SS. Yes maybe it will 1/4 mile nearly the same, but in the grand scheme of things that absolutely NOT what this car is for.

Dunno who told you that, but since the C7 vette gets the gen V v8 in 2012, the new trucks get Gen V v8s in 2013 MY, why would they wait until 2015 for the camaro?? It seems to be for the 2013 My for the camaro aswell.
