Thumbs up Camaro beating BMW Ms

My two favorite reviews were the 6th gen Camaro easily beats BMW Ms. Too bad that GM is letting go of this amazing engineering masterpiece: https://www.motortrend.com/reviews/c...let-camaro-ss/ https://www.roadandtrack.com/car-cul...camaro-ss-1le/

I don't doubt that the ZL1 would also beat the newer M4

And if he'd driven a regular ZL1, not a 1LE, his top end speed in the drag race would've demolished the other two.

I almost bought that Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio, when I bought my 2021 Challenger. I was very very close.

Long story, do not feel like getting into it, but it worked out good for me as I have Sharky

The video of Jason Camisa and whatever they other guys name is comparing a 2016 Camaro SS to the BMW M4 and then choosing the Camaro over the BMW and choosing the Camaro as the MotorTrend Car of the Year, well that made a big impression on me and really raised my opinion of the 6th Gen Camaro.

The Alfa Julia is a beautiful and very fast but extremely unreliable. Most people who own these spend more time with the car at the dealership being fixed or chasing gremlins than actually actually driving it.

This is the main reason I did not buy one, my wife reminded me how far away the closest dealer is LOL!

Yes, that was the reason I bought my 6th gen Camaro SS, I was really impressed to see that an American Muscle car was able to beat that year BMW M4 for much less $$$$

My buddy has the M4 CS and it's fast. My LT1 can get close on the track but he has it tuned and slowly pulls on the straights.
