I'm more into brute force acceleration than handling, so the first vid I watched was the launch development, but honestly, I thought the handling one was even more impressive. When I saw what the G-meter was reading I was just ........Pretty unbelievable numbers for a car which will more than likely weigh in at 4,000lbs or more. My reaction to those videos was similar to when I saw the concept "unveiling" on the internet and again when I finally saw it in person at the Kansas City Car Show...........the hair on the back of my neck stood up, I felt goosebumps on my arms and my eyes "misted" a bit.

Yeah, I'm wondering what kind of skidpad numbers we'll be "grabbing." The way this beasty sticks to the road is phenomenal, and those vids include a passenger & a couple of hundred pounds of test equipment. Just think about that. I think the third gen Magnetorheologicalwhaddayamacallit is going to make this Camaro insanely quick around curves. .

Oh. My. God.
This is seriously amazing. I cannot wait to see more numbers on this car. And God I love GM...this is exactly why I'm going to school for mechanical engineering. Hope to work on things like this one day. Seriously though...just...wow.
