Some observations from the motor trend article - which could be considered splitting hairs, but w/e I'll post them anyways- I'm sure half will consider/half will immediately disparage them.
1. I really think a "track pack" would really help help the Camaro, because the standard equipment and setup of the Camaro seems to be in more of a GT format. For example, 20" full weight wheels could be reduced to 19's, decreasing rotating mass, better gears once again would help the Camaro catch back up with the Mustang as well. Here come's some splitting of hairs as well- the gas tank in the Mustang is 3 gallons smaller (I don't expect Chevy to swap it out), but the Camaro is "latently" carrying more weight around here as well..
2. A potential huge issue- it says they are running regular unleaded in the SS....uhhhh, guys? We have seen the power issues and the L99 being on lower octane fuel trims- if that is a reality.
