I see why it was love at first sight. The GM cut-away and the crash test videos let you know the car loves you back. |

the camaro just outclass' the mustang in both side and frontal impacts,can't believe that the mustang does not have side curtain airbags..???mustang buyers should check in to the safety comparisons before making decisions on the mustang,

hard to believe the force the charger got hit with, after the Same impact in the Camaro that makes it look trivial.
Looks like we are much safer in the Camaro.. |

The 5th gen Camaro is not a 4th Gen Camaro. Study the pictures of the GM cut-away. Research the materials beyond the information included in the thread. Watch the crash videos. Study the Pedders USA Camaro Performance in the chart and watch the videos.
[u2b]1xOM3Z_-fdM[u2b] Ask yourself, do I need braces on the rock solid 5th Gen? |

Ok, so it's always hard for me to watch them destroy cars like this but I understand why they do. And, I'm guessing the government makes all manufacturers do this to make sure they are road worthy before they will let them sell them in the US. My question is, do they do this to ultra expensive, hand built cars too like the Rolls, Bentleys, Ferrari's and such? If so, what a waiste!!

I can't say I was glad to see my car mashed, but I was glad I wasn't driving anything else (and glad the other guy was liable). What isn't there to love about this car? I DO love mine more than ever, for how well it protected me, and for how, after a lot of sheet metal repair, welds and paint, it's almost back to it's old self. Now THAT'S a real muscle car. |

When people complain about the weight of the Camaro they do need to take into consideration the benefits of the additional structure. The videos and your personal experience speak volumes. The structure also makes the 5th Gen respond incredibly well to suspension modifications. Now we can have the same robust structure in a Vert and ZL1. Thank you Chevrolet! |

Strut Tower Bars are once again a hot topic on Camaro5 as GM added them to the Vert and will have one on the ZL1. GM added the strut tower bar to the Vert because they cut out the roof and needed to add reinforcement in several areas. Adding the bar to the ZL1 is part sizzle and part we already have it so why not use it.
No one has been able to document an improvement in handling with a strut tower bar. We know that we pull 1.4 gs in turns on street tires with peaks of over 1.4 gs on all OE arms and without a strut tower bar. If you like the look, add a strut tower bar. If you think you need one, take another look at the crash and track videos in this thread. |
