IMO,

Ford knows how to market thier cars. They have normal everyday cars that ppl want and they focus on that. Like you said, more average ppl than perf. ppl.
Whens that last time you saw a commercial for the SS or Firehawk. The last perf. commercial i saw was the Trans Am eating up that European car at the stoplight, that was like 8 years ago and they only played it a few times.

When you see a ford mudstain commercial it's like "The all new 2xx HP Rustang" blah blah blah. If chevy would do a commerical about the vette or z06 i bet they would sell more, well at least for the camaro it would have.
Everybody knows about the vette, but not everybody knows the camaro has the ls1, most ppl are like "really" when i tell them and "they can go that fast for 22K".

I think Pontiac will start to creep up in the performance market, although they need to go Rwd and cut that fwd stuff out, and start putting thier superchargers on all of them and market that.

I think the GTO is good, but they could have made it beefier.

I wish you could go into the dealer and buy a muscle car like the old days, I wish i was born back then. I'd order a RC Silver. with a 6.0L or something like that, 1/2 ton. There is a dealer or shop that is supposed to come out witha
RC SS, we'll see.

anyway,
later,
