In reality, to me, it's "slow" (as described before), "heavy" because it's even heavier than my all-iron V8 twin-turbo Camaro was, and "pig" is essentially just a redundant metaphor to describe the first two.
I didn't mean to hurt anyone's feelings. I was calling the car as I see it, that wasn't intended to insult those of you who bought one (I bought one too, don't forget). Again, I like the car A LOT, I was just expressing my point of view about it being "fast".

Anytime you call anything a "PIG" it is an insult and people will be offended by that (it also implys it is ugly). You should know that. and NO 5th Gen Camaro is a pig... You could have said you think it is slow and heavy and left the pig out of it....
