i honestly don't think i'll be happy with the performance at all....i bought this one truly for looks. somehow the design just inpires me. it's just so much more then the mustangs.
not only will it not corner well but i'm sure the brakes will be a little timid as well.
good news is i own a performance car

I have owned Chevy's and Pontiac's since I became of driving age back in the early 80's. I loved the Carmaro's and Trans Ams and still do. However, I do not care what the performance level is of the new one is once I saw it in person. It looks cheap. That is hard for me to say but it does. I hope that the car is a homerun for Chevy but I think the timing is off for that to happen.

Eric yeah I saw and sat in both the Chevy Camaro Concept Car at the Portland Auto Show and yeah I thought the same it was very cheap.... On the other hand the new one that i sat in at the dealership KICKED ***.....The only this that the one at the dealership didn't have is the Gauge Pods that are on the flore in front of the shifter like the old school 60's model Camaro had but i think that a added option.....
I'll show you in mine.Eric I'm a chevy/gmc lover and have a couple other brands in my garage as well..I think the cheap chevy's are just that cheap and plastic. still 10 fold better then ford or dodge and really not unlike any cheaply made car. when you have a 20k car you can't expect a ton. i don't think this car was meant to be a Bentley. It's a 35k car so I can't compare it to my europeans for sure.
the vettes for sure have had their critics. never has chevy made the corvette appealing to the eye inside. the new camaro is just retro enough to strike attention imho
btw never have i personally owned a dodge or a ford product...just my business gets them if i'm dying for a cheap pickup to beat up on

So I got a nice surprise phone call today.....
IT'S HERE
I can say without a doubt I love this car. It's the smoothest car I own. It's faster then I had anticipated ( by far ). It's soft in the corners just as I thought it would be (very fixable if I desire) and it cruises down the freeway like a knife thru soft butter at 70mph 6th gear 1500 rpm's (6200 redline). I've only put 200 miles on it since I picked it up at 4pm but it really is everything and more than I wanted. Pics are late in the dark but I'm sure I'll have a pic or two in the light someday

It looks evil. I didn't think it would look that good from the pics I saw in magazines, but it looks good in black, maybe im bias
