Chevy can improve many things about the Camaro -- economic status be damned. If the car sells, they aren't going to leave it stagnant. Especially if they intent to compete with the foreign offerings in the sports coupe segment.
As for the aftermarket for the 5.0....it will be zero at the beginning, but it'll catch up. It's a Mustang for goodness sakes.  |

So all I am saying is that in the future, the mustang will have to get heavier, while the Camaro will not.
That`s all I really have to say about that though.
P.S.: I am suprised this thread hasn`t resorted to name calling yet like most of these other mustang threads have in the last little while.
Maybe we are all starting to get along  |
Well I agree with you that eventually the Mustang will have to put on some lb's in the name of safety, do you have any literature that states the Camaro meets the 2012 Safety regs?
And yes this thread seems to be moving along nicely. Little maturity goes a long way.
