I think it's fair to say that there's more nimble cars out there for mountain road driving. But as far as handling the curves, although this car feels "big," it is really fun when it comes to the twists and turns of a windy road. I've yet to take it to the mountains (maybe the Sequoias or Yosemite this weekend
) but I have had a blast on the curves heading out to Pismo Beach from the central valley. For me it's kinda like my experience with 4WD trucks, my compact pick-ups of the past were a lot more nimble than my full-size pick-ups of late, but I've placed a higher priority on the majority of my utility/driving.
Not sure how much time you'd spend in the mountains, but for me it may add up to 2% of my miles, and that's being generous. IMHO the Camaro has no equal for the 98% of my other miles. So weigh your priorities, and choose what is going to satisfy you in most situations. To quote a popular motto "no sacrifice; no victory" - Archibald Witwicky
You could always get a matching motorcycle to go with your Camaro for those mountain driving urges, nothing more nimble than a bike.
