The new Mustang for sure will have IRS as the older Cobra's had.. Mustang's will always sell well as long as they are well priced and have a multitude of engines and options to choose from. Dodge is playing it smart by releasing early and having a multitude of options to choose from as well. The average consumer doesn't know anything about IRS or build quality so even though Dodge in general simply has poor quality parts, its new Challenger is a very attractive vehicle at a low price for the base model's. The Camaro needs to be priced low enough at the low end to attract as many customers as the Mustang has in order for Chevrolet to make money. Enthusiasts buying the V8's are a dime a dozen with increasing gas prices. There maybe less than 200 Camaro enthusiasts that will be willing to pay over sticker to get one at launch. However having a top dog car that beats out similarly priced vehicles and show's up in magazines beating the competition in times and races will always boost sales of the lower end models that most can afford. Chevrolet being late into the market with the camaro will have to fight off a new re-designed Mustang which has the chance to be able to compete against the Camaro since it will come out a year later..The Pony car wars are back, and hopefully here to stay for many years to come...Heck, the new camaro V6 should be able to beat a 2010 Mustang GT in 0-60 and 1/4 mile times and cost less..If this is the case, Chevrolet should market the hell out this in commercials and get people excited about the V6 being a true muscle car (except it will never be for an enthusiast who wants a V8 like me ) Pontiac has a great commercial for the G8..Fastest car under $30,000.. Camaro should have a commercial fastest car under $20,000 if the V6 can be priced that low...
