Is it the handling? Yes,the Camaro will handle better,but if you're going that route,why not get a STI,it's also just as fast as a Camaro,and it wil outhandle it......because,well,when you look at the price.....and than compare it to the price of similar performers(Camarocoughcough).....it's hard to take to the Camaro seriously,because it can't fit a Dishwasher in the back like a STI could.
That's not exactly what I meant. Forgive me for the following...because I don't have the MSRP for an '09 GT500 on-hand (and I"m running out the door).

For 40-some thousand dollars. Yes, you get one helluva performer in the GT500. But for 30-some, you can get a Camaro SS...that performs better or equal in nearly all areas. That's why I can't take the current one all that seriously. The new one, however, is somewhat impressive for its price-point ('moderately' because that's still Corvette territory....). And I give Ford kudos for improving it.

(and imports aren't even on my radar...sorry. )
