Then...if what you're saying above is that there are gonna be a lot of Camaro fans who won't like the Camaro when they see it in person...then you couldn't be further from the truth. One or two...sure. And if you're looking for pure retro...then the Camaro's not for you. But not a single person on this forum has come back from seeing the car in person with a poor review. Not one. It's a beautiful, aggressive design on-screen...and seeing what they've accomplished in the flesh is absolutely breathtaking. |

A tick over 13.0 sec. and you're through the quarter-mile. It's a rush, of course, but not overly dramatic. Try the same thing with this pair's predecessors of 1970 or so and you'll find yourself in a bit of a wrestling match. Ain't progress wonderful? Maybe yes, and maybe sometimes it's fun to wrestle."

Kinda like " you've got to be kiddin' me man, what's NOT to like?!?!?" For the record, I'm a die hard Chevy guy who thinks the new Maro is B E A UTIFUL, and can't wait to own one. I went over to Dodge in 05 because I wasn't happy with Chevy trucks or cars at the time, looks wise. I have NEVER said I wouldn't be back. I'm back baby!! Mikey

I guess I feel for the Challenger because I have the opposite problem. I have an 09 Cobalt SS/TC. It clearly fights way above it's weight class in that competition, and it's a solid little daily driver. However on more generic tests GTI's or MS3's always win the competition because they are heavier and more refined, even though I know they'll be sucking my exhaust if there were tighter apex's between here and the grocery store. |

I looked at one and was impressed. What's the boost on that little car set to from the factory? You tried upping it any? Carry on. |

To Rallysport and Camaroconvert: I don't want to repost it, but I just popped up a C&D quote that's very complimentary and specifically points out the Musclecar history. |
