Just remember, these are the official numbers and should be the gospel as to what the Camaro is and is not capable of, regardless of the test conditions and/or the driver. That was/is the standard of measurement when talking about other makes and models like the Mustang and the Challenger, so we need to be consistent in how we use magazine review numbers.
I don't care what someone else is able to get out of the car on an actual track, these numbers MUST be used whenever a comparison is being made on the internet. Agreed? Quote:

can someone explain what this exactly means ''The combination is good for drama-free 0-60-mph sprints of 5 seconds (or 4.7 seconds with a 1-foot rollout like on a drag strip).''
read it at edmunds. thanks |

at the track, the time doesn't start until you move about 1', depending on how you stage.

Edmunds didn't give the camaro as good of a review as I had hoped and I agree motor trend whooped it up, even posted some better times. I know I will be extremely thrilled with mine. This wait though is killing me....
