for 2011 Camaro is adding some nice interior features like the gauge display appearing uo on the window instead of having to look down at the gauges (idk what thats called). I think Pontiac had something like that??

GM is mis-managed and now is in disarray. They are confused and focused on DC looking for more Government help. Ford has a strong new management team, under Mulalli & Jim Mazuchowski, and they understand the enthusiest and give us what we want. They have a world class, global outlook. Camaro had the lead briefly and lost in in a bankrupt company run by empty suited politicians who were focused inwardly. The new 2011 Mustang says it all ~ the GT rocks and the whole company has technology advances everywhere. There is no substitute for leadership and focus on excellence.

For example:the new 2011 Ford Mustang 3.7 liter V-6 from Cleveland Ohio has a dual-overhead-camshaft (DOHC) 24-valve V-6, Twin Independent Variable Camshaft Timing (Ti-VCT), nets 305 horsepower, 280 ft.-lb. of torque gets up to 30 mpg highway. Ti-VCT six and lower weight can account for up to a 4.5 percent fuel economy over the Camaro. Ti-VCT technology applies to both the intake and exhaust camshaft (DOHC design) using electronic solenoid valves to direct high-pressure oil to control vanes in each of the camshaft sprocket housings. By using one valve per camshaft, controlled by the Electronic Control Module (ECM), each intake and exhaust cam can be advanced or retarded independently of the other as engine operating conditions change, providing an exceptional degree of valve timing control. Both the V6 and GT (420 HP and 390 FP of TRQ) out run comparable Camaros. Drag racers care that the GT is 3 car lengths ahead of the Camaro-stock for stock in the quarter.
Mustang drivers notice improved low-speed torque, better off-the-line launch feel, with plenty of the low-end “grunt,” increased fuel economy. better fit and finish, common sense, stiffer frame, shocks, better wheels, improved fuel economy (v6=18 mpg city/29 highway) and high tech electronics. How is that for innovation?

Bluetooth, Sync, improved handling, world class manufacturing, fresh ideas from aerospace, Silicon Valley, Europe and Asia means continuous improvement...not corrupt, lame aid from DC politicians. Global competition is here and Mustang is in the lead.

Well after they d*ck around with my for awhile they got caught up in their own web of trying to sidestep a straight forward response. I managed to get them to confess that YES there will be a Convert Camaro in 2011. Suppose to be put into production May 2011 - ish. As of right not nor in the future this isn't even z/28 talk. Yet im told that they haven't ruled out that option. Sounds just like something GM would say. Don't answer the question, just give the person an answer to everything but. I can tell the government is definately running GM. Cuz they all act like a bunch of politicians.
