$75K freaking dollars for a Camaro!?!$!$ Your kidding right? It's beyond me why anyone is buying a Camaro? SS is smoked by the GT. ZL1 is way smoked by the GT500. And then after it's too late, they are coming out with an answer to the Boss 302 that costs $30K more? Will it smoke the Boss? Yes, but it's priced in another stratosphere.
To top it all off, the new 2015 looks better than ever, weighs 2-300lbs less, and by most accounts the base GT will have a minimum of 465 horsepower, with some speculation of it touching 500. The 15' Mustang looks more like Corvette competition than Camaro to me.
Oh, and please spare me the it has IRS, better handling, interior, etc. argument. In the stoplight grandprix, it's no contest, and that's the only race that matters. Just like from 98-2002, when that was the hands down advantage to the Camaro/Firebird twins. Besides, in 15' those arguments goes away too.

Did you get lost?
This site's 2015 Mustang discussion is
here. FWIW, I wouldn't even post that much speculation on any of the Mustang sites I belong to.
When you grow up some more, maybe you'll realize that the stoplight GP is the absolute
least important measure of performance.
But for an event rescheduling decision, I'd be running around a road course in my '08 GT right now instead of posting here.
25 minutes at a time between about 45 - 50 in the tighter corners and 120 mph down the front straight is so much better than 5 seconds of street racing that there is no comparison.
A ZL1 owner was also scheduled to attend . . .
