Let's be honest, this is the first Camaro in a long time that has lost weight, been faster than a GT, had an auto that is faster than the manual, comes with track-focused equipment, a turbo 2.0 that is actually as powerful as V8s from 90s, a V6 that can run 13s in factory trim, all the while offering an interior that the Germans would even consider good. I mean really, none of this is revolutionary.....right.
You can have your opinion all day on styling, but saying Team Camaro didn't go far enough on the performance/mechanical side is a joke. 6th Mustang owners are technically faster than the 5th gen Mustang in the 1/4. Dodge RT owners are going to be in a drivers race with 6th Camaro V6 owners. Just keep that in mind.

Nice points all, I agree with basically all of this except the Mustang GT has only been good for a little while since the advent of the recent 5.0. Prior to that it has been underpowered compared to its competition for a long time.
