I like the car, I respect the work, and I know with the right driver that car could do some shyt. But, I can't drive the car the way it should be driven. It's clean and nice to look at, but I need something more practical anyway.

That car is :lawd:

I rented the 2012 Camaro during my travels last year....fun vehicle...LOVE IT on the freeways and close corners. That zip is some real shyt. I wouldn't mind fukking with this in Vegas. And you do gotta be careful with those blind spots....I had to fukk around with those mirrors for a minute..so used to doing it real quick and getting on the move.

:mjpls:

I know it's only 5 hp but why when in the Z06 the engine made 505hp and in the Camaro it makes 500hp? I know it's small but I don't see why it couldn't make the same horsepower.

I can't front, that shyt looks good as hell. From the rims and brakes to the functional body kit, that car looks better than the ZL1. But it still can't fukk with it. That bad rearward visibility is what kills it for me.
Yeah I had to throw this generation's Camaro in the bushes. I like being able to see where I'm going while i drive. Hopefully the C6 Camaro will rectify this since it's a huge complaint. Now that I think about it, why is GM dumping all this money into the C5 Camaro when the C6 is due out like next year?

Marketing. The vette owners get butt hurt if they don't have the top rated engines from GM, even if it's only 5 hp. They always have to be a step above the Camaro. Kinda like how the 6.2L in the Yukon Denali is rated at 385 hp and the 6.2L in the Escalade is 403, when in all actuality they are the exact same engines with the same output.

Yeah, your right about that.

I know a new Mustang is coming out so yeah, they should have the newer Camaro coming out too. Hopefully they will address the problem with visibility.

You know what, I never even thought about that but you're right. They do get butt hurt. I figured that since the Corvettes has the ZR1 they wouldn't do something like that but they did the same thing with the Denali that they did with the Escalade.
