Chevrolet wants to challenge the 5.0 Mustang GT with their new Camaro Z28. We'll see how that goes.

They have been testing the Z28 against a GT500 right now, closed course and everything but some spy shots have been leaked.

Wonder how far they're willing to let it encroach on the Vette in terms of performance and cost.

It doesn't matter. GM will make the same mistakes it's always made and the Camaro will die off once again.

Although, you have to admit, the Camaro raised the bar enough for Ford to get off its duff and finally make the Stang a contender again.

Ford was planning on it all along. They don't react to anything GM/Camaro does. They do what they do and it works.

That's a bit ridiculous. It's like saying that Ferrari doesn't react to what Lambo or Porsche are up to.

They're direct competitors, they react to each other.

They do react, they just do it wrong.
Ford had huge success by going retro with the mustang, so GM/Chrysler tried it and I think they missed the boat.

Camero
Challenger
GTO (this could have been huge, but fell short)

Why? The Z28 is supercharged.
