I think the gearing is why it's faster. Look at the highway mileage for that thing, 20mpg max when the Camaro get 24 or 25. That's HUGE difference. I'll take the extra gas mileage......... for now.

Edmunds said the pedals are too far apart for heel toe shifting, and Motortrend or Road and Track said otherwise. All got pretty similar quarter mile times and braking were within a few feet. I thought it would have gotten at least a .90g for handling, but I doubt I will be testing it too much at the limit.

I loved that Edmunds video.


Edit: I saw some handling results over .90g. Regardless, it good enough for now.
