> [@Autoweek](#): > > Ford’s new Mustang may be getting rave reviews, but a key competitor says it isn’t worried. Chevrolet marketing director Jim Campbell says the bow-tie division can cover that segment with the four-cylinder, supercharged Cobalt SS and Monte Carlo. “The Monte Carlo is capturing part of that market,” Campbell says, pointing out the coupe’s success on the NASCAR circuit :ugh: ---

GM is fallin out of the picture… wtf do they have to offer thats going to compare with the new mustang gt for 25,000 dollars…and when that new camaro comes out…it will prob. be like 35-40k for it…GM should come back with something v8 RWD for under 30k…wait they did have that…the f-bodys…but they r now gone ---

actually, there is heavy speculation, that the Monte Carlo will come out in 07 as RWD 5.3L V8, approximately 300hp. Along with the return of the Camaro but in all honesty… the 240hp/280tq FWD 3700lb Monte Carlo SS, has no business even trying to compete against the 300hp/310tq RWD 3400lb Mustang GT. The Cobalt? christ, it cant even get into the 14’s ---
