What are the stats supposed to be on that?

You have PM

It doesn't really matter anyway, time-to-market on these things takes forever. I'd give it at least 1 - 2 model years before GM responds.

I think we're all forgetting the 80's when a mustang weighed 3,250 lbs and made 225hp but was still slower than the 3,450 lbs 240 hp IROC and GTA. That's my prediction. Ford's have always been underachievers. Look at the 305 hp 1997 Cobra and the 320 hp 2001 Cobra compared to same year LT1's and LS1's

......and you keep thinking that!

I don't have to think that, I've personally experienced every one of those races with bone stock cars. I'm not bothered by the 2011 GT. If I were you I would be upset.

Did you forget that ford has a mustang that makes 540hp and is going over 600hp when the 2011 comes out.

It's still an underachieving 540 hp, for that I'm waiting for the Z28.

You fail to see the bigger picture when you only compare cars that you have had experience with. You are stupid if you don't consider the 2011 GT a threat, in performance and sales.

Did I ever say it wasn't a threat? First off all the Camaro will not sell as many 2011's as 2010's, if you don't see that then your an idiot. My response was to the ford fanboi's who think this car will run circles around the 2010 SS. It will be a tighter race, but I believe the Camaro will come out on top. Now let's all bench race the hell out them till the car actually comes out.

Hi, I'm on a Camaro forum. I must be trolling. You might have an argument if I was on the corral. But I don't spend my time on car forums that I don't own just because I think it's cool.

Why? I'm not worried about a 2011 GT either.

It's got 98 less HP at the crank then I have at the wheel.

How exactly is it underachieving?

Your "not bothered by the 2011" comment implied you didn't perceive it as a threat. Good thing I do see that the 2011 sales on the Camaro will not be as good as the 2010s. It will be a tighter race, definitely, but I can't comment on rather it will run circles around the 2011 Camaro.

And regarding your GT500 is underachieving: It blows away its only competition, which is the SRT8 (in trim level, price, and definitely performance). I honestly can't believe you can think of the Shelby as underachieving...
