Impressive performance! The course has 2 long straightaways which definitely would give the camaro a chance to show it 'oomph' in the V8. Had it been a non-stop twisty course, the evos and wrxs and...

I'd consider one of a) Corvette Z06, b) BMW M3, or c) Porsche Cayman, or d) GT500Supersnake.

We've had VINS posted here that suggest they're in the 17,000 range already. Given that there's 10-15k preorders, that would imply there's no dealer lot camaros coming in 2009. They're working around...
