as for the camaro and challenger, I was hoping for challanger to be a good looking car, but it turned out that the sexiest car in this segment is the camaro and it looks mind blowing, this time it will share some racing heritage from the vette to get better handling...lets see how it turns out, it seems like it will have 3 variants, V6, V8 and the Z28 with the 505hp engine from the Z06 but it wouldnt be even close to a Z06...

Btw Ford GT replacement should also be out in few years...the Shelby GR-1 was it??
Mustang is a cruiser? Would you say the same thing about the Shelby GT500. They are cars built mostly for the track much the same logic as a 997 GT3.

However its also wrong to compare the Z06 with anything because that actually falls in the supercar league. Its for going round and round the Nordschleife and giving stares to Ferrari and Lambo owners. However C6 is as much a sportscar as a GT500 would be.

Cruiser would be Mercury Grand Marquis (not even the Marauder).
