And the thing is that the Camaro gets the trickle down from what they do with the Corvette. So as long as they're aiming the Vette at the top dogs then the Camaro will continue to be awesome and improve. Ford basically just tries to keep up with the Camaro. On a side note, I would love to see how this upcoming ZR1 stacks up against the GTR.

Well, lets not forget how Ford's original GT kicked the crap out of anything made at that time from the likes of Ferrari etc. That thing was an amazing machine, and MUCH props to Ford for that car.
While they are still doing amazing things from an engine perspective, they have fallen quite a bit from that prestige, and that can happen to GM too.
I agree, handing down tech from the Corvette is a HUGE part of why the Camaro stays so competitive. That's an advantage the Mustang doesn't share. That is also a valid point made by some Ford guys. The Mustang is more unique in that it doesn't share parts handed down from it's big bro(there isnt one), but I don't agree that somehow that makes it better like the point they try and make with that statement.
I gotta admit guys, this is some fun conversation!!!
