Ford certainly watched all the reviews of the Mustang/Challenger/Camaro and did do some upgrades for 2011, most notibly the 5.0 engine bumping HP up a lot to just over 400. Stiil has that live axle??? but in the HP game, they have stepped up to the table. I'm not a Ford guy, but the 5.0 will atleast be a more serious contender now!

I too have heard that the convertible should be available to order in and around Aug/Sept 2010 and that GM has said they have NO plans at this time to begin work on the Z-28 option. With sales of the Camaro as they have been and the money maker it has become (even to GM's suprise), they may rethink that in a bit as they make more $$$ on the V8 than on the V6's and it's all about the $$$ for GM!
