Red- 2001 Camaro SS A4
Why were there less T/A's than Camaros?
So I was at work tonight and a guy came in who moved down to Pensacola from Michigan. He worked for Ford and got laid off...sorry I had to say the F word.
Anyways, he knew a few things about some GM cars and we got to talking and he told me that GM made fewer T/A's than Camaros...why was this? Now, I dont know the production numbers (I wish I had a place that could tell me though), but I kind of have to believe the guy, I see more camaros on the road than firebirds all the time (where I live).
((Also I asked if Ford was coming out with anything cool in the future,,he said they are coming out with a new version of the Mustang with a Supercharged 4.6, putting down close to 500 HP. No it wasnt the Cobra he was talking about or the GT500.))

I really believe hes stroking you with a 500 hp supercharged 4.6. Theres no reason for ford to make that car at all. Why would they dethrone the gt500? They will make a hotter mustang then the gt but expect it to have more like 400 horses not 500. Sounds like a typical "insider".

Mystic Teal- 99 Trans Am & 01 CBR 929
more than likely it was because of the price difference. the more expensive something is the less people are going to buy it and therefore dont need as many.

The KR’s 5.4-liter V-8 Gets the Royal Treatment
Just like its namesake, the 2008 ‘King of the Road’ packs a walloping dose of Ford performance power under its massive composite hood scoops. The Ford SVT-engineered 5.4-liter supercharged V-8 is treated to a Ford Racing Power Upgrade Pack that boosts horsepower to an estimated 540 and torque to 510 ft.-lbs., thanks to revised ignition and throttle calibration and a cold air intake system that replaces the stock unit
Why cant Ford come out with a engine that has a lot of hp and is not SuperCharged

Red- 99 TA
less pontiacs because a firebird is a car for people with real inner fire,the camaro is a car for the ordinary dood that thinks he got inner fire.

If you actually find production numbers on all year there have always been less firebirds
I think it has to do with the higher cost

I think it really comes down to the camaro being a chevy product. The Chevy name is the bread and butter of GM, has been for yrs. The other factor you cant forget is the camaro was also used for fleet vehicles. Police forces have used b4c camaros for yrs. Never used trans ams. Personally I think the t/a is a nicer car but thats jus my opinion.
