They were really proud of the rear differential (thank God, because the 7.5 was not something cool, lol) and it really seems they took durability and repeatability super-seriously.
I won't say this often but while I am a CAMARO-but, I am a car enthusiast. I can appreciate most any car that's more than a mode of transportation. In this Community, though, that appreciation focuses to a lazer. I still, and have, recognize the Mustang is a great car. I give it credit for really turn up the dial. I still think that it's fallen behind CAMARO in technology and being upt-to-date (in some regards), but, Ford manages to keep it more than relavent.
We have, what, at least 3-or-so years for this generation to run it's course. I believe we're going to see more development across the board for CAMARO, in general. We may lose bragging rights in some regimes, but that doesn't change my loyalties.

This is a good post, well said.
The 5.0 was developed from the racing program. I watch the Rolex Grand Am racing religously. Before the Mustang came out with the 5.0 they was using the 5.0 in their Daytona Prototypes. Yes the series is limited to 5L engines but one of them did have the 5.0 "coyote" engine.
