I feel like Ford tried to do too much to cater to both old and new buyer's tastes, whereas Chevy stuck with one theme and came out with a better flow to the design, better proportions, etc. Like UNKNOWN said, it will be interesting to see how they respond in the coming years. They have their work cut out for them as Chevy seems to be several steps ahead.

The interior tech offered also appears to be superior. Just compare the gauge clusters... way more modern than the Mustang.

Definitely want to check one out. I want to buy a C7, but if I needed a 2+2 I think I'd probably end up with a Camaro over a Mustang (pending a test drive, of course.)

I honestly think this is going to be an 8.5/10th vette if not a 9/10ths vette. I think the real difference in these cars will show at the limit on a complex track. I think on a moderate track, a potential 1LE package would be on par with the vette in most instances. I predict the camaro being the best bang for buck out of any car under $55k

As far as the Z goes, in another thread i mention my own wild speculations for a future Z? If those specs arent met? The Z will be a bigger sales disappointment than the Z34.

Chevy really did a role reversal putting america back on the map internationally. And if this C8 MR vette comes to fruition in 2017? It's going to be on.
Also, the Chevy sonic RS needs to get redesigned to be more aggressive and have power between a Fiesta STand a Focus ST with Fiesta weight and mod potential for high BOOST. With pricing right in between both. That would put the Sonic fitting perfectly in the hot hatch arena and chevy would even be a competitor there as well.
