I did not know that, lol. If you look back, the point was the performance pack is cheaper. Chevy should offer a performance pack for the I4/V6 model for those who want some added performance for the street but don't need a full on track setup.

It's not even out yet, it'll cost more than the 2020 Camaro LT1 trim, and that has a V8
|
I'm not sure about that, was just pointing out the variety Ford has.

Check two additional boxes for the Chevy and you can get all the same bits on a Camaro except for the painted black roof.

I don't think the wheels are part of the blackout package on the Camaro. It should be , imo.

Yeah, the Mustang has the Camaro there, if that's your thing. But when's the last time a Mustang offered a sunroof?

I'm not a Mustang guy, I just think Chevy should change its approach when it comes to packaging the Camaro entry level models.

Debatable. There are other reasons why Mustang sales have been higher before we start assuming something like that.

It's subjective. More consumers in general do find the Mustang to be a better looking car. For the base models 2019+ I actually think it is a tie for the entry level models.

How many consumers do you think really struggled that much over turbo-4 vs V6? When Chevy ditches the V6 in the Camaro, it'll be for the same reason Ford did in the Mustang: too few other models used it to make it economical. Ford doubled down on EcoBoost years ago, while Chevy's latest high feature V6 line is slowly diminishing but still pretty widely used.

I just think it'd make it easier for consumers. Have one entry level engine competing with the Ecoboost. Consumers do not need to decide between the two or get turned off by one engine layout or another. With one entry level layout possible, from there it will be down to interior/exterior options. As well as performance packages.

Again, it's priced like an LT1 with still more torque and power

The new LT1 is a good offering for those who want to get in the V8. I'm not debating about that, I thought the appeal of the SS was just fine and the value is there. I believe the problem lies in the packaging of the entry level models.
