I'm a fan of Jalopnik and a regular reader, but if it's not a 20 year old BMW or VW hatch/wagon the community over there generally isn't interested.

Well, if V6 2016 Camaros begin shipping with side view mirror defects, we'll know who to blame for affecting product testing.
But on a serious note: Yeah, I could see how there's probably a lot under these cars' hoods for diagnostic reporting that probably increases the value quite a bit. Probably some proprietary systems that are hand-built for fine tuning. I realize that this isn't just a Camaro off the assembly line. I'm sure as soon as the 2016's begin production, the same cars will be used in planning for the 2017 and future model years to come. |

I thought the guy sounded pretty remorseful. I certainly don't envy him.

sHITT happens. But this is a serious crap! Guy is humble about it, props to him (he has no choice I guess!).

Exhaust sounds almost like the flat plane crank GT350.

So many people on here that have never made mistakes. And there I was thinking that no one was perfect. Some Camaro5 members have proved me wrong.

Leaking the Camaro pictures wasn't a mistake... This guy is a douche bag and bragging about being 1st only confirms it.

I dunno, I think he really needs some performance driving skills taught to him desperately, and to lose the cocky attitude behind the wheel, yet at the same time, Im gonna give him some credit for actually owning up to being a bonehead and crashing a Gen6 mule.
I didnt feel like he was bragging, I felt like he was humiliated it happened especially followed up with being ejected after already being on thin ice.. |
