Word is that the 2015 Mustang is the big change to coincide with the 50th anniversary of the car? Not to mention they could pull another 1964.5 thing and have the 6th gen Mustang pop up in mid 2014.

Where as the 2016 Camaro could be released as a 2017 MY car in mid '16 to harken back to how it was originally released 50 years prior as well.

Not to mention if GM wants to go all out and pull off a radical change like they did in '82, I'd say take the extra two years and curbstomp the Ford design team.

Thing is though, Ford has indicated in the past that the D2C platform that underpins the 05-current car isn't going anywhere by 2014-2015. So it remains to be seen just how flexible the D2C platform is for Ford and whether or not they'll capitalize on their refined SRA or go to an IRS.

Something GM could also capitalize on: Developing a super light weight IRS design for both the ATS-V and the Camaro SS.
