Actually, you are wrong. This leak does stop people from buying the Camaro if what they want is a better handling and faster sports car.. Lots of enthusiasts and racers will wait on buying the Camaro SS now that they know (because of this intentional leak) a better faster car will be coming out unchallenged in the same price point. Furthermore most people interested in the Mustang won't care about speed and be getting a V6, their bread and butter regardless). We all know this year, the Camaro is top dog in its price range. However next year the 2011 Mustang takes the top spot and I say "let the wars begin"... GM will have to lighten the Camaro in a Z28 package that can beat the GT500 and GT combined so we can see unfair Camaro Z28 vs 2011 GT's and the tables reversed. lol.. Currently the Camaro SS has been pitted up against the more expensive GT500 since the 2010 Mustang GT loses in almost every category.. Your statement that no one will buy a Mustang sitting on the lot this year with a leak like this should say "enthusiasts" instead of "everyone" since that would be true.. Enthusiasts interested in the Camaro however will think twice and some will go for the faster 2011 Mustang GT. That is where this hurts GM and was a smart "leak" on Ford's part... As for all those 2010 GT's on the lots, they will sell to those uninformed folks that will not and are not interested in top dog speed and performance..With that said the 2010 Mustang GT is no slouch either.. It's nice to have the pony wars back, hopefully it lasts out against the "green" movement that is undoubtedly taking over everything..
