The V-8 Attitude
Be warned, torque is an addictive drug, so use with caution. Under its influence you'll be drawn to deserted cul de sacs to perform ruckus doughnuts that produce so much tire smoke that squirrels will be smoked out from surrounding trees. We know. It happened to us, and we were plenty thankful for the 6.2-liter V-8's soft rev limiter. The engine is so powerful that once the tires break loose, the tach swings toward the red faster than you can say, "We need to leave now."
Soon to find out, he hee

These reminiscences cloud the truths of weak brakes, wallowing suspensions, and recirculating-ball steering gears better suited to trucks than performance cars.
This is SO true. I fondly recall the power of my pony cars. But, I conveniently forget all the other weak links. I remember wishing I could have my American power in my Imports.
It seems, the new Camaro is the FIRST pony/muscle car to do that.
Damn. That makes me excited to type that.

The C5 was to 1st sports car to do that in my opinion. Now the Camaro has done it as well.
Thank you GM.

Smile THANkS CAMARO 5 for a great website!

I am waiting to order until I see one in person. Here in Columbia SC the dealers don't have any yet. I just hope the seat fits my BUTT comfortably. I also would like some feedback as to any chance of a Z28 ever being produced. Maybe i should count my blessings and just get the SS b4 they are canned.

THANKS CAMARO 5 for a great website.http://www.camaro5.com/forums/images...s/headbang.gif

we would hope so x years later....
