[QUOTE=markhoran;2843]Hi,
Do you think the 2009 Camaro will out perform the 1997 -2004 base corvette?
Did anyone besides TAG/Cas pay attention to the question? Yes the new “Top Dog” Camaro is going to out perform the C5 base Vette and a stock C5 Z06. Hell, if the car does weigh in at 3500 lbs or under the base Camaro may out perform a base C5. Its new technology vs. old technology.
I keep hearing people say “nothing GM makes can out performer the "Flagship Vette”. BIG TIME BS… In almost every decade there has been one if not more than one car that could out performer the Vette in specific areas. I think most people forget about the 80’s Buick Grand National and Pontiac Firebird GTA with there Turbocharged V6 that could run 12’s off the showroom floor. Oh, and lets not forget about the Cyclone and Typhoon of the 90’s. All these examples were dubbed “Corvette Killer”…
As for aerodynamics, you might be surprised that the new Camaro may have better aerodynamics than the C5. If I am not mistaken the 3rd Gen Camaro had better aerodynamics that th 4th Gen in wind tunnel tests.
