I think Bob's messin with you guys
Seriously, there will be a V8 Camaro in 09, so why worry? It may be ten grand more than a Mustang GT (and dealers will gouge you for another five-eight over that too), but oh well. Like he said, it will probably be vastly improved over the interior and suspension of the Stang, and you're getting nearly a liter and a half more displacement!
