Aside from the horsepower, I'm sure Chevy also noticed the optional digital gauge cluster in the Mustang. Chevy has the HUD, but Ford has that big 12" customizable cluster.

So slight horsepower bump and optional digital gauges seem like good places to start as far as non-cosmetic changes.
I was thinking the same thing. It'll either be 460hp to match the Vette, or the latter will get it's own power bump and the number for the Camaro will rise.

Not ruling out being de-tuned, but more likely different intake and exhaust bumping the power.
