Wow. A 2SS is only just a few hundred dollars more then a GT of equal equipment and depending on the equipment you want on the GT, a 2SS/RS is cheaper.

I wonder what an "Easy Fuel Capless Fuel Filler" is...
Also, looks like Ambient Lighting is a new trend |

They're going to need about 75 horsepower more to justify that price

Unless a 3k difference isn't more affordable I have no idea where you are coming from here. Even if you add in the heated seats needed to match the 2SS content level the Mustang GT Premium still stickers for more than a grand less than even a base 1SS.
That trend will continue with the 5.0L powered 2011 GT as that car is going to start just under 30k and will include the ugraded brakes listed in the Track Package above. In Premium trim that car will start just under 32k. |

And about 3 grand, and that is comparing apples to apples. There are finer points which don't work in GM's favor, like the fact that you have to get a 2SS Camaro to get leather while a Mustang Premium carries that feature as standard for barely over 30k. Yes, a Mustang Premium doesn't cover all the same bases the 2SS does without adding a few other options, but that is only attractive for somebody looking at a leather equipped car if they happen to actually want those other options.
IMHO Ford made a mistake by removing so many a'la carte options, like the ability to order leather by itself, forcing buyers to go to packages like the Premium Package if they want leather. I believe that move will cost Ford some buyers. With the Camaro GM has taken that 'package only' concept and gone a step if not two further. I understand the argument for this strategy, but I don't think it will work out in either companies favor and I think that GM's more extreme take on the same will work out even worse than Ford's.

I agree that the GTO didn't do as well as the Mustang for a lot of reasons. What GM has working for it now is the idea that the Mustang, has been driving around the streets for a while. The new one isn't really different enough to call it an update, so let's call it a lazy facelift. The Camaro is new. The GTO was new when the Mustang was new, so it was strategically a bad time to release a new car. It stole a little of the Mustang's thunder, but the Camaro wills steal it all because it is being released against a car that is already on the streets with too few changes to make it as revolutionary as an altogether new car.

I am still uncertain how this price could change previously held opinions so much. The price hike on a Mustang premium for the 2010MY is within sniffing distance of $500.00. If you want to argue that the car is over-priced be my guest, but I don't think it makes sense to argue that a roughly $500 price hike over the old 2009MY price was the deal breaker here.

My reasoning is more than price, First I prefer the styling of both the chally and camaro over the mustang (even the 2010 model). Second.. you get more.. reguardless of what you think.. for roughly the same money (within 2kish). For a camaro I am looking at either the 1ss or 2ss For the challenger I am looking at the R/T w 6 speed The mustang does not offer a 6 speed manual, does not have IRS and is still the 4.6 3v (Yea yea yea the 5.0 is rumored.. but until its official its just speculation). The only thing the mustang had going for it in my opinion is the fact that Whipple kits (and supporting mods) are already on the market and readily available.. and would fit my plans.. BUT that puts it up in the high 30's range for the same HP and handling of a chally or camaro.
