Considering this means that the roofline will be lowered less than the Mustang's, I don't see how that would make things worse or better.

(when recalling this information during my earlier post I got a few numbers reversed in my head; As you can see not ALL of the Camaro's measurements exceed the Supercar)
You'll notice that in most measurements, the Camaro is either larger than the Supercar or much closer than the Mustang was. Relative to the Mustang, the crucial detail is width, where the Camaro is narrower - it would be slimmed down by almost half the amount of the Mustang, which would have a major effect on how tall it looks.
(source for my Supercars measurements:
https://www.adelaidenow.com.au/sport...5d7-1542260650 It's a weird source, yes, but I cannot find ANYWHERE else that gives the exact dimensions - not even on the Supercars website)
Now, there IS a problem when comparing height here: These sorts of measurements are usually measured from the roof to the GROUND, and a Supercar obviously sits lower than a roadgoing Camaro and Mustang. What we really need is a reliable measurement from the roof to the bottom of the bodywork.
