I think they were smart to target beyond the Camaro. After all, if that were the benchmark, most would cry foul, just as the Ford guys have in comparing the Z/28 to a Boss. The Camaro is on an aging platform and Ford is smart to target a higher performing car, as GM will surely do the same when bringing the 6th gen Camaro to market.
If Ford did succeed it targeting either the 911 or M3, it can only benefit the Camaro, as it will force GM to up it's game in response. I think the next round of pony cars will be the best ever seen from the market. I look forward to what Chrysler may do to compete with GM and Ford, if they even try. Will they bring a lighter more powerful 'Cuda? I hope so as it can only add to this category of cars and put all of world on notice that American performance cars are not to be taken lightly.
Another added benefit is that it may finally turn the opinion that these cars, Mustang, Camaro, whatever Chrysler, can only go fast in a straight line. The Boss, and the new Z/28 I think are doing it already, but are a small part of the overall pie.
Here's to competition!
