I like the rage that I see with some people on Motor Trends site because an American car has won something.
They don't seem to understand that with Motor Trends drivers car is not about finding the best street car or the faster car on the track. It is purely about finding the best car for those who purely love the drive, they are looking for a car that isn't for everyone. The Z/28 Camaro performed flawlessly on both the back road and on the race track and it has three pedals for the driver. It was kind of an easy one for the Z/28 Camaro this year, as out of the few highly likely cars to win this year didn't have a stick. I honestly feel that for a drivers car it has to have a manual transmission (though not every car has won it with a stick and for other reasons).
The problem is with fan boys who wanted only their car to win, they are even more upset that not only did their car not win but an American car beat them. I feel that the Z/28 Camaro has everything that one who is looking for purely a drivers car is looking for. If the Porsche 911 GT3 was in this though I do think that it might have won (though I heard that Chris Harris picked the Z/28 Camaro over a Porsche 911 GT3 RS).
It seems that most of the I hate this car from Camaro fans amounts to that they wanted a car that they could own and this isn't. to them I must say, if they lowered their target for the Z/28 Camaro so that you could have one it flat out wouldn't be as cool as it is. I know that some of you will say yes it would have been or it would have been better purely because you can get one.
I have a solution for you guys as what you guys often describe as being the car that you really wanted the Z/28 Camaro to be is the 1LE. My solution is to buy a 1LE Camaro (get all of the options on it that you want to it starts at something like $37,000) and put some Z/28 Camaro badges on the car problem solve.
