I Smell A New Camaro!
I just got my new issue of R&T today, and on the cover is the 2005 Mustang concept.
Inside, there is a small blurb on something called the "Chevy SS." I'm just speculating, but I think this car may very well be the next Camaro. Just take a look at the lines of this car. It has the curves in the fenders of a 1st Gen, the "gils" of the 1969 (but in the front), and lights similar to the ones on the current 98+ Camaro.
Anybody else thinkin' the same thing? I think GM's gonna roll out this car and "test the waters" to see what everyone thinks, and once everybody's excited about it, I think they're gonna drop it out as the new Camaro.
That's just me being optimistic.

Chevrolet's super sport heritage is alive and kicking. The bow-tie brand is in the midst of launching an entire SS lineup, with performance versions of its SUVs and pickups hitting showrooms first. But soon after (hopefully!, Chevy will build a production version of the SS concept. What looks like a Mazda RX-8 on steroids, the SS is a product of GM's Los Angeles design studio and sports fluid lines, short overhangs, and muscular fenders. Powering the rear-wheel-drive sedan is a brute 6.0-liter V-8 that cranks out 430 horsepower and 430 pound-feet of torque. The small-block powerplant is paired with an electronically controlled Hydra-Matic four-speed automatic transmission. Huge 21-inch front/22-inch rear wheels shod with BF Goodrich tires and massive 14-inch front/14.5-inch rear brake rotors round out the performance package.

The next Camaro better have independent rear suspension like the 2005 Mustang will have.

The 05 mustang concept has a 400 HP supercharged 4.6 v8, but the production car will only have 300 HP when released.

I think it could benefit from the "half doors" like Saturns have with the hidden doorhandles.
And someone said the 2005 Mustang will have an IRS. Nope, sorry. It will have a live axle. Ford must be a bunch of dumbasses, but slightly smarter than GM. Their muscle car is still around.
I thought that the 2005 Mustang was on the Lincoln LS platform? Isn't the Lincoln LS platform an IRS?
