Who in hell cares?
Cars like the Camaro and Challenger are just big, stupid, heavy, go fast in a straight line, and that's it. Zero finesse. If you want American muscle, buy a Mustang and get a FI setup. Or buy a ZR1 if you have the cash. That's a proper sports car. |
Nothing wrong with straight line speed...unless you live in the mountains lol

Its coming theres no doubt about it.

Staright line Speed- Hell Yes What's wrong with straight line speed if the handling is pretty decent. Just because a car is heavy doesn't mean it handles like a boat. Now can it handle as well as a RX-8, hell no, but who cares. It will provide the same kind of rush I got whenever I took an on ramp at crazy speeds. Though this will come in the form of neck snapping torque The Camaro is more then just about looks and speed, it's about the legacy of the badge.

Nobody said there was anything wrong with straight-line speed. But when straight-line speed is the ONLY thing a car has going for it...fail.

I could give a damn about mag numbers and bench racing. I care more about qualitative opinions and analysis from experienced drivers like Randy Pobst.
Let me know when he rates the Camaro as one of the top 5 best-handling cars. Until then, there's always 5thgen.org if you're looking for people who share your love of the Transmarobird. :) |

Don't get me started on the "legacy of the badge" when it comes to the Camaro. Everbody seems to point to the original model in that respect, which was a decent car for it day.
But everyone conveniently seems to forget the past 30 years of the Camaro, during which time it was blessed with hokey styling, crappy quality, and questionable performance. Oh yeah, the 4-cylinder Camaro from the 1980s that could do 0-60 in...never. Yeah, that's the kind of "badge legacy" I want in my next car. :uhh: |

WTF? Brake weights on the Camaro?

Brother just put a deposit down on his Camaro. He got the fully loaded V6 LT2 with RS package. The RS on the V6 comes with midnight silver 20 inch wheels which are to die for. Car came to 31 k which is pretty decent.

Seriously lol Why buy a muscle car for interior and luxury over V8 POWAA?
|
the thing is HUGE. looked good as a show car, should've trimmed the size a bit for production. more sports car, less poser/toy
|
^I kinda like it being a boat.....but then again I havent really seen one in person so I really cant say yet
|
Some people don't care as much about straight line performance.
Like some RX8 owners. |
it's pretty heavy, you'd expect the camaro to be a lot lighter in weight than the challenger...not just a little lighter
