This specific one isn't "woke", it's "hipster" or "du jour". I hear it all the time in my field (software engineering) and makes me shudder...

I don't know if they figured out the rear wheel hop, or not, I had a 15 GT/PP car that I had to put at least a Grand's worth of Steeda's part in to it to get it to not hop and then spin out on me.
The chassis on the Mustang and Camaro's are barely on the same planet and I'd never go back to a Mustang. |

It is ashame, however. Camaro and Corvette were once masterpieces in automotive technology, including up to the present time. It is such a horrible waste to cancel such a great automobile as the Camaro.

Even beyond Mustang as it all but guarantees that F-series will also retain ICE, even if at a reduced presence. Actually, I'm willing to bet it was the other way around that triggered this. F-series buyers want to keep ICE and so it'll stick around and Mustang just gets to keep going with it too as a happy byproduct.

A few high-end ICE models from Ford and GM are not anywhere near keeping ICE around as a viable option for the average car-buyer. Better than nothing, I suppose. But, unnfortunately it sounds somewhat similar to Reuss's reassurances recently about ICE and EV compatibility. This was band-aid ICE pr, and seems to be so unlike GMs direction now. I think Ford will likely end up the same. https://gmauthority.com/blog/2020/01...eeable-future/ |

Yep, a Gen7 could have: - Improved the visibility, trunk opening, new digital gauge cluster that sits lower - LT2 from the C8, ZL1 could have seen LT4 updates seen on the CT5V Blackwing - Update suspension to Mag-ride 4.0 as seen on the CT4V/CT5V - Updated tech - Rain sensing wipers, front parking sensors/camera, MyMode, ZMode, etc.

Much prefer FoMoCo's strategy over GMs in this instance.

I'm not thinking about it now but when the time comes if no Camaro exists then I would give it a look.
