GM is at a handicap because they can't make the Camaro faster and more powerful without also upgrading the vette. While Ford has just there one car to worry about.
Just the same, if GM doesnt come out the gate with 500 hp for the SS, I dare say they will be behind Ford.

Ford definately is coming out swinging, full blaze. And I think that's a great thing.
I do agree with Chevy being at a handicap because of the vette. But that handicap is self inflicted.
There is no reason they can't take a negative and turn it into a positive.
Where does it say that the vette has to be the top dog in every way?
That it allways has to be significantly faster than everything else?
That it has to be sole bearer of the company flagship.
Why can't you have two flagships?
Why can't the camaro brand and vette stand together as equals?
The only reason anyone has is the camaro would cannibalize vette sales.
I say so what.
It's better to have something you own eat some of your sales, than to have someone else like ford do it. And any company that refuses to do this generally starts to lag behind and get stuck in one place.
Doesn't the camaro outsell the vette anyway? Sure it's a lot cheaper. But even if you cut the camaro sales in half, isn't it still more than the vette?
I vote for the camaro to be the unofficial flagship for Chevy.
