I have seen the 99 Mustangs. Same body as SN95. Its not a Corvette
competitor, Ford might go after them with the new T-Bird.

Same chassis, different fenders. We (the FOX body group) have been stealing
parts off the T-Birds for years. Where did you think we got the rear disks
from originally <grin>.

Agreed. I am a ESP/CP kind of person (alright, I do own a SS Vette). I
just figure it might be a even fight for the Camaro 5.7L V8 to match up
with a Mustang 4.6L with IRS. I KNOW Chevy will never IRS the Camaro since
it would become a Corvette <BIG Grin>.

No problem Andy, I see your point of view in this. Point well taken. We
can always see what happens later in the year with the car and let the
board decide then...
later,
Carl
