2016 Mustang GT Premiums with Performance Packs can be had for ~$36,000. GT base models are ~ ~$32,000.

When the Camaro 2SS is ~46k+ many will buy the Mustang. I'd consider a lightly used Corvette rather then a new $46k Camaro.
Those same Camaros can be had for 42k that you're quoting fairly easily. I think the price needs to drop by closer to 2k before incentives to be actually competitive.

BUT I doubt GM is going for volume. I bet you anything their profit is higher per car than the Mustang. Maybe they're still doing close to what they want. Vast majority of cars sold in first year are "enthusiast" V8s and above 40k price. Most Mustangs are below 30k that get sold.
