i'm more of a camaro fan than a corvette fan. the corvette is more of you're fully trained MMA fighter ready for a sanctioned fight and the camaro is your tough as nails will fight anyone street fighter.
where is the cheaper, big engine, higher hp, fast, regular brakes and shocks package camaro from GM? I love the new Z\28! an ls7 camaro was always my dream car but for cruising i don't need solid gold rotors or shocks that are more advanced than a space shuttle and an MSRP of what may be 65+k.
just give me a regular SS price plus the engine cost. either LS7 or LSA. I don't need the rest of that handling nonsense on the street because to be honest i would never exceed any of these new camaros handling capabilities on the street.

They've got the COPO offerings...but those aren't street-able. Situation is...they are competing in a global market, even just in the US we're saturated with European and Japanese offerings. Straight line-onle cars are views as drooling neanderthals. I'd be interested to see what the market research looks like for a drag/street car...with like "skinny" 245s up front and 305 stickies on the back...among other things.

Which is kind of ironic, because it was born with a nickname "Hugger", because it "hugged" the road so well compared to the competition...The 2nd gen sacrificed the aesthetics of a raked stance to improve handling...and this generation can out-race anything in its class on a road-course.
In my mind...Camaros have always been able to turn...might even say it was a special skill...
