I think it's pretty fair to compare the GT vs. RT vs. SS. There was going to be a higher line Camaro (Z28 I think?) but it is "on hold" indefinitely until GM gets its act together. Mustang has the multiple Shelby versions available from the showroom. So this looks like a good comparison of the volume-seller V8 models. But the R/T all optioned up is bad bang for the buck. It is only a couple grand less than the SRT, and not as fast. Where the R/T makes sense is when it is 35K or less.
