It seems that the Camaro goes like stink, even stock; stops very well (once, anyway - no way those fat rotors stopping that fat car survive more than a few challenging stops/laps before they're useless); turns well for an everyday car, but it's handling isn't very crisp and has a gob of understeer.

If those performance specs are what you're looking for, then a Camaro is great for you. If you don't mind modding, and a hard ride, then don't worry as much about the handling - it can be very good for < $5k (figure coilover kit, sway bars, bushings, decent tires/rims).

But, comparing STOCK cars, that massive understeers sucks if you like to play in the curves. It's NO fun. That's why the Camaro was spanked in the test. Well, that and it was almost the slowest anyway . . . always in the rear of the pack.
