robertlane Posted May 15, 2006 Report Share Posted May 15, 2006 I hope the Camaro does well - it would be good for the industry. But if they need to sell 100,000 a year, then I think they are dreaming. Click here for the article Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FastStuff Posted May 15, 2006 Report Share Posted May 15, 2006 So If GM can make 100,000 why is ford only making 9,000 ? Ford is making 9,000 Shelby GT500 Mustangs PLUS all the V6 and GT models! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JETSOLVER Posted May 15, 2006 Report Share Posted May 15, 2006 Ford is selling between 10 and 12 000 Stangs a Month. Chevy is late to the retro party again. Hope its a better car than almost everything they have built since er since er ......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stangster Posted May 16, 2006 Report Share Posted May 16, 2006 100,000 sounds like a reach in a market already dominated by mustangs and with the new challenger thrown in the mix. Hope it happens though. Competition is always good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSR Posted May 16, 2006 Report Share Posted May 16, 2006 100,000 sounds like a reach in a market already dominated by mustangs and with the new challenger thrown in the mix. Hope it happens though. Competition is always good. If Chevy up the HP figures to say 450hp or even 500hp. Then the Camaro will sell like mad. High horsepower sells no matter how much mpg the car gets. If I had it my way, I would get a Camaro and a Challenger to go in the garage with my GT500 Shelby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CelticNut Posted May 17, 2006 Report Share Posted May 17, 2006 If I had it my way, I would get a Camaro and a Challenger to go in the garage with my GT500 Shelby. Me too. As much as I love Mustangs, variety is the spice of life! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ford4v429 Posted May 17, 2006 Report Share Posted May 17, 2006 if they only intend on building >400hp versions, I seriously doubt theyd move over 30k a year, as it would probably be a $35-40k car...if they want to sell 100k+, theyd better find a way for a v6 model to base around 20k like the mustang v6. Not everyone wants a 400 hp ride(most of us here would but...) especially with gas going God knows how high...I think if Gm's smart theyd betterdo whats worked before- chase the mustang sales model as closely as possible, and build low volume zl-1 types to feed the enthusiasts thinking about shelby/boss more choices... I have not heard any mention of a v6 camaro, and think that would be a huge market to miss...I still think Ford should add a further stripped 4 cyl mustang for 15-17k that might be insurance freindly enough for college kids to drive something stylish instead of a honduh.

flattusmaximus78 Posted May 19, 2006 Report Share Posted May 19, 2006 The new camaro is a sick car, and wouldnt mind having one, and trust me I'm sixteen so you can understand that. But 100,000 common... those numbers are not practical or even close to being possible. They missed there oppurtunity to strike while the iron was hot, not the gt500 is comming out which will blow the doors off a camaro, and looks ten times better.

Is that why the 93 LT1 V8 Camaro's all the way to the 02 LS1 SS's and Z28 got STOMPED by the Mustang every year in sales? The Mustang GT got its ass handed to it in performance every year by the Z28 yet sold 2 - 3 times as many units. High horsepower does not sell millions of cars. That's why the Mustang Coupe Deluxe is the best selling Mustang, not the GT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JETSOLVER Posted May 21, 2006 Report Share Posted May 21, 2006 That's why the Mustang Coupe Deluxe is the best selling Mustang, not the GT. See the 07 Model Year powerpoint on this site. The GT is 59% of the mix with the largest single model the GT premium at 34%. :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The GT is 59% of the mix with the largest single model the GT premium at 34%. :rolleyes: Seen it. Check 2005 and 2006 please. Also, check 1979 - 2004. Actual sales, not powerpoint presentations. Jetsolver please see: http://www.mustanggt.org/gtnumber.htm Has something MIRACULOUSLY changed for 2007 where now everyone buys GTs? Mustang V6 will outsell Mustang V8 3:1 in 2007.

JETSOLVER Posted May 21, 2006 Report Share Posted May 21, 2006 Do you not understand that they set the recomended mix based on what customers right now want? And perhaps could not get? You make the statement that"That's why the Mustang Coupe Deluxe is the best selling Mustang, not the GT." Then I go to the official presentation to the dealers and you call me on it?

Guest evilchris Posted May 21, 2006 Report Share Posted May 21, 2006 I'm calling you on it because in 2005 and 2006, my statement is factual. Nothing is changing in 2007. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
faststang Posted May 22, 2006 Report Share Posted May 22, 2006 I read that article about a week ago.I hope that the camaro,challenger both come out because they will mostly see the shelby on the rear end of my gt500!! :car: BEST OF LUCK TO ALL!!
