I agree, but I'm sure the suspension will be perfectly fine anyways. GM wouldn't build up all this suspense about the Camaro then come out with a bad handling car. They know better.

I believe the new camaro will be shorter and wider than the 4thgen. So that should improve handling along with the IRS and other parts.

True, but why pay for that and go through the hassle when it can come with a good suspension straight from the factory? I'm sure this thing will handle. The Zeta architecture is just great, and I don't think they'd give the current full size sedans built on it better handling than the Camaro, right? Fear not. :party0048:

I have ZERO doubt in my mind that this will be the best handling Camaro EVER built. They've only said it a million times not to worry...that this will be the best one ever and that everyone will be happy. I can't wait to try out that IRS.

This Camaro is gunna rock your girlfriends/wifes panties off around the corners in the passenger seat fella's.... not too worry about the handling.... I'm sure GM will put some real-good time into this area as it is a "sports car" they are selling.... and the "best Camaro yet".

from wikipedia
duel ball joint front The extra ball joint adds weight and cost. It also increases steering friction, and the parasitic friction in the suspension. The geometry has some undesirable characteristics that need careful management, such as returnability from full lock when parking Well now my interest is peaked so I guess I'll have to spend a couple days looking into the chassis design and figure it out. Here is a look at what the setup will look like http://forums.peddersusa.com/imageho...27d7a88074.gif and the full link http://forums.peddersusa.com/showthread.php?p=1337

But from the factory, I would imagine that the Camaro will make better than 0.9g. The current Mustang GT makes something between 0.86 and 0.89 g's from what I've read.

I just wonder if Z28 is confirmed to be the "top dog" package. It seemed to me the latest SS was considered the top dog so I wonder if GM will stay with that concept.

Nope, not confirmed. There have been several discussions on this so I won't go into things here, but search for them if you want to hear what we think so far
