For 2017, all GT350s come with the track pack as standard equipment, hence the considerable price hike.

Like raptor said, both awesome cars, but it really depends on what you want. Bang for the buck? Camaro wins (partly due to dealer markup on the Shelby). Drag racing? Looks like a wash, but again, see...

I get what you're saying, but I wanted him to show me some sort of external validity to the Q score, regardless of its use.

You brought up that this "Q" rating spiked when the Z/28 came out. Sales of it, and the Camaro lineup as a whole, tanked and have not improved since. Does that not debunk your theory?

I'd like to see proof of this. The 5th gen sales nosedived in its last year. The 6th gen sales haven't rebounded. What is this proof of "elevating the brand" and selling lower tier trims you speak of?

Where are you getting your sales numbers? Camaro hasn't rebounded from its awful 2015 showing, and is getting pantsed by the Mustang.

It didn't sell. Doesn't matter what it looked like. That's a shame. In my dream garage, I'd have a 2017 ZL1 in this colour.

And factually incorrect.
