I agree completely. The new Camaro is marginal looking at best. Retro went out half a decade ago when the car was originally designed 
So, pros for the Mustang: Roughly the same horsepower, MUCH lighter, surely will be cheaper, sounds better, could potentially look better...faster, cheaper, better looking...and NOT 5 years too late! SRA would be icing on the cake. SRA > IRS for a muscle car. Who the hell buys a muscle car for twisties? Wow, I can't believe I'm saying this but go Ford! No wonder GM's shares are trading at a 50 year low. Who runs this company anyway?

in case you didn't notice, the new mustang is still retro
a few hundred pounds isn't MUCH lighter, and we don't even know the weights for the new car anyway...
saying the new ford will be faster has no factual basis either.
and on that line, we don't know pricing either
90% of people will like the IRS over the SRA, because of the better ride and handling.
like was said, ford shares are in the crapper too

I don't see any reason to believe the redesign will be any heavier than the current car at @ 3500 lbs and that is about 400lbs lighter than the Camaro, and 500lbs less than the Challenger.

The 5.0l is going to come in 2011 I believe or sometime later.This engine should get a bump in hp but I don't expect alot,maybe 15 hp.
Ford focused on getting the car leightweight so allthough it may wait more than the previous mustang,it wont be my much.I been hearing a rumored weight of 36XX lbs which is better than the camaro's.
