finally got my issue. They claim the Camaro rear end moves around on broken pavement. Huh? They claim the mustang rides better. huh? I can accept some of the criticism. The Camaro is harder to see out of, it's heavier. But some of the scoring is silly. The mustang gets higher marks for it's 5 speed than the Camaro's 6 speed. huh? gotta have it. huh?
You know, when the dimensions of the Camaro were released last year i mentioned disappointment in the weight, and a lot of the people here didn't seem to care. Well, when you compare it to a car that weighs' 300 pounds less, it's going to show up in the corners and acceleration. Here you've got it barely ahead of the mustang in the 0-60. Although check the numbers to 140. The Camaro just walks away as speed increases. What do you think happens when ford puts in the 5.0? I'm really disappointed Chevy couldn't get some weight out of the car. Why does it weigh so much? The Holden's built off of Zeta aren't huge are they? The G8 is only 6 inches longer, and not much different in weight.
Lastly, the "angry" comment makes zero sense. maybe the Viper or charger look angry, but the new Camaro doesn't.
