Alright, now the comparisons are getting a bit silly. I wouldn't be so sure about the Camaro "leaving the 911 for dead on the straights" considering that the base 6MT 911 does 0-60 in 4.7s (est), the base 911 w/PDK does it in 4.5s, and the base 911 w/PDK and Sports Chrono Package Plus does it in 4.3s; all on the way to a top speed of 180+mph. You're also talking about a much smaller, more purpose-built, car with a curb weight of just over 3,100 lbs., a far lower center of gravity, 10.5in. wide standard rear wheels, etc.
There's no doubt the Camaro's handling will be impressive, but some of you need to realize that peak lateral gs is not the be-all-and-end-all of a car's handling. In fact, it tells us very little about the car's handling. The Lotus Elise SC pulls .96g on the skidpad vs. the Camaros .97g. What does that tell us about how the cars actually handle? Absolutely nothing.
