Plus GM released the ZL1 in 17 followed by the ZLE in 18 all the while Ford was still working on the PP2, Bullitt, and GT500. So how much time has GM had to build something killer for the 7th Gen VS the little bit of time Ford will have. Whatever the GT500 does, it will be short-lived. Like maybe a year or two. GM will put out something for the 7th Gen to smack it right back down and take the crown again. And then they'll move on to the next one while Ford will be stuck playing catch up yet again. All of this is another reason why Ford failed with the S550.

Please describe your Failed with the S550 statement? It has sold almost 3x as many Mustangs as Camaros. The fastest GT is presently faster than the SS by allot as reviewed and has been for nearly 2 years.

The GT350 has received praise throughout the automotive world at introduction and continues to do so as the car you want. The only folks calling it a failure are within this forum.

The 500 will soon be released and will likely be faster than anything the Camaro has to offer in any trim level.

So IMO it is the Camaro presently failing or clinging to the life raft. Its 3-year dominance in the segment is over.
