Also the year the Charger SRT8 was tested, cars that had already been tested the previous year (ie BMW 335i) were running considerably slower times, hence the SRT8 had more in it.
Anyways, the Camaro sold sight unseen because of it's agressive design and the 10 price of what, 32k for a 1SS and around 35k for a 2SS it represented a major bargain the SS sedan does not. it also had a hell of a lot of exposure thans to ransformers. With the backward sales strategy going on here, i will be surprised if the manage to push more than 5000 a year.

Do you have the link to the mt test? The only thing I can find doesn't show any road course. Thanks
