It will be very interesting to see the final weight, and the comparisons late this fall.

Ford excels on the strategic side of building affordable cars. It has alot to do with why the Mustang is still all steel, furthermore Ford generally does a notable amount carryover power trains options to lessen new capital investment and ease the price on new models.

We have a new Camaro, and two new powertrains it does cost money.

Sorry all engines in the 6th gen are in other GM vehicles too. The Mustang if anything usually has less carryover than the Camaro.

I think a lot of this extra cost for the SS, isn't necessarily new features but the methods used to save weight and not water down the powertrain options. Once we see performance numbers I am betting a lot of people will change their tune. After all everyone considers the Scat Pack cars a steal @ $39k. How big a steal will the 1SS be when it outruns the Scat Pack and significantly out handles a GT PP (speculation of course)? Remember, the GT is not the cheapest V8 pony car, the RTs have that and exactly how has it helped them outsell their competition? I think everyone agrees the GT and SS cars are much better value than the RT.
