Good point about no Camaros on the lot Joe. I don't think there was any real difference between a 200hp 289 Mustang and a 210hp 327 Camaro though. Both companies made very limited quantities of high performance versions(I wouldn't call an SS350 high performance). But I still believe a lot goes to brand loyalty. Ford sold almost a million Mustangs before the Camaro even hit the road. I know a lot of people that owned a 60's or 70's Mustang and upgraded to an 80's or 90's Mustang. But anyone buying a rwd car as a daily driver nowadays isn't a very conscious consumer so the 6 cyl Mustang thing is very difficult to understand. I think those people want it to look like they own a sports car. A rwd car in today's driving and weather just doesn't make much sense. I know I had fun when it snowed and I tried to get home in my 93 Z28 Indy 500 Pace Car or my 91 SS454 pickup. But I accept the fact that I won't make it to work in bad weather and so does my company so it's not a problem for me. I just hope Ford can keep the price down under $30K for the GT so the affordable V8 rwd market will stay alive.
