Nissan 370Z and Mustang GT are nipping at the SSs heels.  Not that impressive TBH for 426 hp and 420 lb-ft of torque. considering the GT and 370Z are down nearly 100 hp and 100 lb-ft of torque (actually 370Z is down 150 lb-ft).  They're solid numbers but I still feel the Camaro would be a lot more impressive if it was 300-400 lbs lighter, around the 3500 lb mark, but then it'd be too close to the Vette I guess.  400+ hp and running 13's because its a two tonner...

That's like saying you could definitely get laid with this fat, ugly chick.  But why would you even want to?

Actually, I talked to a couple people who sat in them at the shows, the taller guys were complaining about headroom.

Makes no sense, the Camaro isn't ugly for one.   Tongue

As I said before, beauty is in the eye of the beerholder.  I wouldn't be caught dead in one.  Not without a mullet! Smiley

But its fat.  Its way too big to be taken seriously as a sports car.  Same thing I say about the Challenger.

I'll post the V8 numbers here to save people from viewing the video again.

13.0 1/4 mile  manual
13.1 auto

4.6 0-60 auto
4.7 manual

Boring video.  No camera in another car doing the runs?  Piss poor editing.  They should learn from Top Gear how to make tests entertaining.  It's like a bunch of fat 50' year old talking about baseball game with the camera at the lunch box level.

The car is fast, but not much faster than a 370z.  I'm sure it's not a canyon carver either, the style is not that great, so I'm not very much impressed.  How much is it again?  If it's about the same price as the Mustang GT, than I can see some light, but if it's 40K+, it's dead on arrival.

You don't get it, everybody is talking about number you can only get by watching that shite.  If you had posted the times, I wouldn't have the trouble to watch it to get the numbers in the first place.   Nobody else has to watch the video NOW, thanks to me!

I liked the video, thats why I posted it.  You don't like the car anyway so why do
you care how fast it is.  I thought the numbers were impressive, and wanted
others to see it in action.   Smiley

just cause you locked it doesn't mean i won't post.  Not everyone is going to like it, but doesn't mean it can't be a financial winner for Chevy.... hopefully
