But for those who want something with more performance, they get screwed to high Heavens. So you're either stuck buying base GTs super cheap, or fully loaded GTs for $50K, or spending ZL1 money for a GT350 that in no way compares to a ZL1, or spending more than a Base GT500 for a GT350R and still not getting even ZL1 performance...and then there's the markups. I don't envy Ford at all. With them, all the power is in the hands of the dealers.

Sometimes I have to stop myself when I realize that without the Alpha Camaro being such an incredible performer, the GT really would not be so bad(seem so bad I mean).
Without the SS being equipped standard with a badass Tremec, maybe the MT-82 wouldn't be such a black eye on the GT. Without the ZL1 being 65K, maybe the GT500 starting at 74K wouldn't seem expensive.
I am with you. I hate that if I want a fast Mustang or one with a good manual, that I have to spend over $65K, but sometimes I wonder if I am asking for too much because GM "has spoiled me" for lack of a better phrase HAHAHAHA.
