Weird everybody talks down about the mustang, but ford sells the crap out of the cars, even if they only have a 315hp V8. Ford will never dump the mustang. Funny how Gm dumped the camaro without even trying to do anything with the car. That leads me to believe that if there are poor sales of the Camaro for about say 3 years, the camaro will have the same fate as the GTO.
Have to say that GM has the best power plants around. That ls motor has really taken off since 1997.
The GTO didn't suffer any "fate". It was slated for a 3 year production cycle with limited production each year.

LOL, the GTO was slated for a 3 year run when it came out...GM knew it wouldn't go longer then that because the australian factory was switching over to the new G8 platform....3 years was all that was left of the monaro so they only made the GTO for 3 years.

Actually, mine (stock gears, automatic, converter, low horsepower) has been bulletproof.
