Alpha is lighter than Zeta, from which the Gen-5 Camaro was "borne", so an Alpha-based Camaro WILL be lighter, with better performance (0-60 etc. as well as mpg and 60-0) and a lower cast than any other Alpha. And, as has been the case since '09, EACH Camaro sold will be profitable.
Alpha ATSs are very well-regarded by the motoring press. From its announcement AND currently.
Don't expect anything
less for Camaro with regard to the driving experience.
As mentioned, the S550 platform is NOT going to be Mustang-exclusive and, therefore, is one of the reasons the promised weight-savings DIDN'T happen.
Stop believing certain posts on
that Mustang site.
