Then if we compare scat pack challenger, some people also claim it's 40K flat. Again this is not true, it's impossible to find at that price. It is well north of 40. So why are people complaining about price point of the new SS?

When it offers better performance, performance quality, balance , handling, suspension than all other muscle cars. I don't care about unbalanced cars such as the Challenger hellcat that have high up engines in them as selling point. Kind of like the previous GT500, an unbalanced car. The Camaro on other hand utilizes the power properly , and doesn't just shove 700hp into a hottub to make sales.

Let's list advantages of the new camaro against competition and then discuss if price is justifiable in your opinion.

All you need to know is the new SS can do 0-60 in 4.0 seconds. Goodbye Slowmaro hello SlowStang?

I don't think that is entirely true. I believe the extra gears can allow more aggressive gearing.

You do realize that every one of those is the base model. This is exactly where these arguments about the 6th gen Camaro price came from. Ford fan boys. I have owned 5 mustangs and am a member on svt performance and this is all I hear about over there. They now know that the 6th gen out performs the mustang in EVERY category and that ford has ZERO plans of doing anything about it. They are butt hurt to say the least. The Camaro has always cost more than the mustang. That is because you get more for the money. Better brakes, better handling. The 15 mustang went up in price. So will the new Camaro.

I will say this though. That dealer has some damn good pricing on all mustang models. Cheaper than ive seen ANYWHERE.

Okay look. I like Mustangs too and even test drove a 5.0 before I bought my Camaro. But anybody who is looking for ultimate performance will see the extra value in the slightly higher cost in the Camaro unless they are just a young punk looking for the cheapest way to +400hp (which there is a market for and Ford counts on it). The Mustang always has and will be the poor man's Camaro in my view. Even the previous gen was sub-par compared to the Camaro. I had the choice between a 2011 Camaro SS vert with 16,000KM and 2014 Mustang GT Vert last year. Both were the same price. I was 100% completely unbiased at the time and after test drive you all know what I chose.

That is a (wrong) statement but your opinion to have.

You're wrong. He is 100% unbiased, he said so.

School systems these days.

Stupid punk Mustang owners who just want a garbage 400hp car. Morons I tell you.

I think the thing that GM has failed at is the price for the base model. $28k for a base V6 is going to be a tough sell IMO. The SS will sell fine. Although I couldn't see myself spending $50k for a loaded up SS.

Wow I cant believe they come with wheels and doors for that price. I guess that's how you sell 2 million vehicles :0
