It's an engineering marvel from my point of view.


At least with the Z....I'm enthralled with how stable and solid it feels to drive. Yet...nimble despite it's heft. I can't help but compare it to the likes of Mercedes C63 AMG...or an Aston Martin.

Obviously, it lacks the luxury of the other two...but like them it's a GT/supercar/muscle-car "cross-breed", as you put it, OldSchool!

I can't wait to drive an ATS, though...Good times are ahead for the Camaro with that as a foundation...so long as it doesn't become dinky inside...
