Well, considering the G8 GT already, generally quarters at about were the Challenger SRT8 quarters (obviously GT isnt as fast, but still comes around the ballpark), weighs alittle more than the camaro will, and will have less hp, (IMO) i wouldn't worry to much about the performance of our Camaro SS.
Challenger will be a fair competitor though and has respectable performance. All will be weighed and measured, however, once our Camaro hits the streets. +1 |

So go drive the G8 GXP, 370z, 135i coupe, and go test drive the Rx8... If you like anything about it, the Rx-9 will be better in every way.

I like the Camaro, Charger/Challenger (honestly basically the same damn thing) and dare i say it the Mustang.
I won't touch the mustang because it's ford (prior allegiances), the camaro is amazing and I'd consider the Chally more if the interior was better than that of my cobalt (which honestly, besides the seats and the amount of room, it's not any different). So what does that leave me? The Camaro, my hopes, dreams and fantasies (don't even comment) on 4 wheels.

What does how many times I have posted a comment have to do with anything? We all started with zero when we joined the site, now you have 1300++ and counting & now I have 24 and counting.
I think that is what makes the Camaro5 community a great place. Someone posting their thoughts, ideas and opinions and having other people respond in kind good bad or otherwise. Sometimes we all agree, sometimes we give them hell and sometimes we tell them they are crazy. Doesn't makes us right and them wrong, just means we took the time to read their comments and respond. |

I know everything the Evo has to offer.
However, when i suggest a car to a fellow member, out of respect i have to filter what cars get suggested. Thus, if you look, ALL the cars i suggested are comfortable, have nice high quality interiors, and even though all of them offer up good performance, they are built for things other than JUST performance. Which is evident after you compare the quality to a car like the evo. The evo is a rally car, and its good at it. Im not arguing that, however, when you look at a car, you can tell pretty easily and pretty quickly what the motivation was when they were building it. Like Shit-stains who posted about his mustang. Mustangs are made to be cheap, and be very mod friendly. This is great for people who live in a straight line, or who think that running a faster 1/4 mile means your car is better than another. Its a strange mindset really. Speed, is the cheapest thing to acheive when your modding your car. A car has to be a complete package for it to be a good car. Quote:
