2010 Mustang reveal. 400 + 500 hp
Watching the 2010 Mustang reveal on Speed channel just now and ford said you can customize the mustang with power packs including superchargers boosting hp to 400 or up to 500. And other misc stuff but the 400 and 500 hp are the most important imo . I wonder how Chevy will respond ?

With the 2010 Mustang GT you get a wopping 315 RWHP. You will need the Rousch package and still be a couple of car lengths behind what GM is or has been building.

The LS3 Camaro will be able to handle either of those two "power pack" options while remaining the cheaper of the two. Gotta remember Chevy underrates their Camaro's and Ford overrates their Mustangs.

Wasn't there some new regulations that make the HP ratings legit ? I thought I heard something about that, wasn't there a certain year mudstain that they severely overated and customers had to bring their car back to the dealer for an engine upgrade to make closer to advertised power ? I assumed that caused the ratings to be more strict unless I'm mistaken ? And if that is the case can they (Ford and Chevy) still be under and over rated ?

That would be the mid/late 90's Cobras If you look at the rated hp vs. rwhp, the camaro is always closer/higher to the rated number. For example 99' camaro rated 305 hp, dyno'd 320hp, 99' mustang cobra rated at 305hp and dyno'd 265hp
To underrate the Camaro's they use more restrictive exhaust, different tune. But it has always been the same basic engine.

Say what you will about the car itself but that TV Show (infomercial? ) was one of the best of it's kind EVER! I enjoyed all of the old school racecar references and of course Shelby himself was there.

That was a good intro! I hope you see an intro like that when the 2010 Camaro comes out. I liked the drifting in a small space. It was nice driving!

Also note Ford is doing financial better then GM. GM's opel division begged for money in Germany and got it. Ford isn't begging it's foreign countries. Ford is the only one of the three US brands that has more Equity then Debt. So sit on that.
The New GT will come in around 25 to 26k, while the Camaro will hit around 30k. Looks like its another decade of Stang outselling the Camaro.
I also heard GM has pushed the Camaro back to 2011. Sad. So you might as well scratch that on order in your sig to 2011.
