OK, now I understand the article. It was Motor Trends first time inside the Zr1 so they were scared of its raw power and felt uncomfortable and gave it a low rating...lol... Gimme a break..

This was a stupid idea as everyone can agree and not much value for any reader/buyer.

However, take out the sedans, perform a real overall performance test ( handling and lap times using all professional drivers ) and the Camaro still loses pretty big against this field IMO.

The Camaro is a great looking muscle/SPORTY car with a sweet engine. Most reviews that I've read all pretty much say the same thing. Needs some additional work to be considered a sports car.
And how many miles have you driven the Camaro SS stick to come up with that conclusion? I have over 1,000.. Use all professional drivers and have a real overall performance test and the Camaro ranks above a lot of the cars in the tests.. And yes, the Camaro is a muscle car first and has enough class to be considered a sports car as well considering it does very well on the track..
