yup.. GM is doing just about everyhitng WRONG. They should have started the camaro redesign way earlier and released a new f-body for the 2003 model year. instead they stoped production and lost stupid amounts of ground in the market to every other mfg out there.
Performance of the camaro/firebirds is better than the stangs but the people that want all out performance is small compared to the people that want a sporty looking but friendly daily driveable car. Mustang have a higher seating position, quieter, smoother, much more forgiving ride and handling quality. The v6 mustangs have a very soft suspension and lots of power assist making it a very friendly car.
F-bodys though, v6 or v8, are bumpy rough, low with a low seating position, have little power power assit in the steering and brakes, really its like driving a sledgehammer.. lol. Great for the few people like me that love big loud brute cars but most just don't want that.
GM will get it eventually but I believe it will take filing for bankruptcy and having to massivly downsize and completely restructure the company to beat it into them.
