how good is the handling in corners with the camaro given its weight(3800 lbs)

*CamaroSpike23* · 07-08-2009, 05:07 PM

I like the fact that you dont have to slow down for the exit ramps getting off the interstate. You can easily take them at 65 mph with no problem.

Not all exit ramps are the same are they? lol

I thought my 96 with every handling mod you can do handled well, but this thing stock just fly's thru curves. I think its right there with the vette. only thing ive driven that handled better is my legend car.

It's weird cuz when I first took some corners I was a little thrown off by the body roll. I mean it's not much, and I figured it would have some being as heavy as it is. So I didn't try to push it much. Then I started pushing it and I remember taking a tight 180 degree ascending on ramp that has a posted speed warning of 15 mph. I always took it at 25 to 30 just fine. I hit it fairly hard and took it at 50, I noticed one thing: no tire squeal whatsoever. I found out the more I push it, the more it wants to turn in even more. Now having done that, I don't notice the body roll at all, it just sticks!!!

Sticks pretty good. Don't forget the G ratings though.

Check out it's ring lap times then tell me if this car can handle.

Well I have high expectations for mine when I get it, but know it will never compare to a driver's machine like my old lady's BMW. But then again, I want it to be a muscle car, not a track car, thats all it was ever supposed to be back in the day.

As well, one thing you can never accuse a Harley of is "handling".........LOL. If you want something that handles, get a Ducati. Same holds true of a Camaro, but which would you rather be seen on. For me its my thundering Harley and my as of yet, undelivered Camaro

As the owner of a 70 Chevelle SS 454 that I dearly love but handles like sh*t, I am sure the new Camaro will be lightyears better in that regard
