That's the story of the current Vette, imo. It starts at $55,000? I think it should start at $43,000-$47,000. $41,000 would be great. Give me a lesser engine, lesser wheels/tires, less gadgets, no carbon fiber etc, just give me the look. But if they want to make them a less obtainable borderline super car, oh well. I'll just admire them from afar.

I'm also worried that the next Camaro will be smaller and lighter strictly for the sake of track performance. Now GM has shown that they can achieve great track performance with a big car with the Z/28. So hopefully the new Camaro will stay big. But I don't want the look of the Camaro to suffer for the sake of the track. But hey that wasn't an issue with the C7, it's beautiful.

Finally, and this is my biggest complaint, I'm sick of car reviews bad mouthing cars that don't perform well on the track. Makes me mad mad mad. The performance of the SS is mind boggling, especially for the price. This is a great car. Sure it stinks on the track without mods (1LE if you don't want to mod yourself) but who cares??? Countach bad visibility - amazing car. Countach poor track performer - still crazy fast. They must stop using the track as the only measurement for what a good performance car is. With that way of thinking, every classic car, including the very fast ones, are all rubbish. And they're the most fun cars to drive money can buy, ya know?

GM set themselves up by calling the Camaro a "sports car". Many on this site get upset if you were to tell them it really isn't that it is a "sporty car".

When you tell the world it's a sports car you get sports car comparisons.

I think what you want is for them to bring back the Berlinetta with the V8 as an option.
