Thats a lot of coin. IMO and your right....I am comparing the M3 to the camaro SS with two basic parameters..Performance and 2 + 2 seating.
If I were choosing.? I'd chose the camaro Ss over the much more expensive M3 and keep the extra money in the bank...(or where ever anyone chooses)
its just a personal opinion and not an insult to those that prefer the m3. I understand that choice. I just don't happen to agree for myself.
what can i say I'm impressed when I think of what GM has accomplished with the new Camaro SS.
Performance may be off with the Camaro SS compared to the much more expensive M3. (which I like) but I doubt the difference is that great.
Can't wait to see and read about the various performance shootouts. Should be worth a few laughs.
Remember...this is just a personal opinion ...nothing more and certainly not an insult to those who prefer the m3.
Fwiw..I also dig the new Pontiac G8 GT and GXP as well as the recently released CTS V. (and the solstice GXP turbo) What can I say I'm a GM fan.  |
ya i love how the SS (performance wise) is comparable to much more expensive cars, which is why i am going to be getting one.
And everyone has an opinion and everyone is entitled to one, even my buddy who choose a used mini over an SS....

A tick over 13.0 sec. and you're through the quarter-mile. It's a rush, of course, but not overly dramatic. Try the same thing with this pair's predecessors of 1970 or so and you'll find yourself in a bit of a wrestling match. Ain't progress wonderful? Maybe yes, and maybe sometimes it's fun to wrestle."
