Their times were kinda slow vs the first four reviews received. They did not say if they used launch control or not. Their times just seem like possibly the driver used was not familiar with the car enough to test it properly. Imagine, a whole HALF second behind the other four tests. At about 116 MPH how many car lengths would that be? 8-12? Sorry, but it just seems like something is askew. Note this race from another thread. The Dodge is 1/2 second behind the Camaro and is about 20 cars behind. The Camaro turned an 11.9 vs 12.5 for the Dodge. Same Difference as in the best mag tests vs Popular Mechanics http://www.camaro5.com/forums/showpo...0&postcount=83 Last edited by htron50; 01-23-2012 at 07:05 AM. |

They're teasing us with that black ZL1 on the lift pic.

I just got done reading the Jalopnik review. It was decent. Just don't read the user comments at the end of the article. Jalopnik seems to be overrun by anti Camaro fanboys who like to hide behind the anonymity of the internet.

I still don't understand why they didn't shoe the ZL1 with the Michelin PS2's,like the ZR1. Ah well,it's a simple fix for ~$1800.00 |

The tires took a Z06 and made it nearly as fast as a ZR1...imagine what they could do on the Z Camaro. EDIT: I was thinking Pilot Sport Cups. My mistake. |
