All this "track" performance focus also translates to better handling on the road. Something that 99.5% of Camaro drivers participate in.
There is a drag specific Camaro coming out. It's called COPO...

If that's your cup of tea, buy the COPO. You have to realize that GM is JUST getting into the swing of things with the Camaro. First you had only coupes, then convertibles, then the ZL1, then the 1LE and COPO Camaros were announced. I don't think anybody can argue that GM is not trying to impress with all these options.
Sure I wish that the Camaro would win hands down from the factory versus the comparable Mustangs in all cases. But with all the recent news, I don't think GM is going to let Ford keep any performance lead for long. There are some awesome cars coming out. There is a race going on and GM is off to a running start.
