Ford has amortized the current Mustang platform over now-9 model years, with a 10th to follow, spread over 11 calendar years...Camaro is spread over only 5 calendar years, currently. Ford therefore has money to spend on a couple of specialized engines. Camaro shot its recent "improvement" budget on the chassis upgrades (ZL1 and 1LE - two programs as well) which, according to ALL sources, has paid great(er?) benefits.

Only so many schekels in the piggybank, regardless of whose bank it is...

That makes sense, but with the switch to the "new mustang" and the 6th Gen, seems like things will be evened out again. I hope GM is anticipating one or more hipo Gen 5 for the Camaro...
