If you are scared a car may catch on fire, you maybe hould give up riving, it happens to them all and I am sure Camaros (or anything really) has burnt just as bad........

Wow, that's a pretty high percentage of Ferrari, given how few of them are made.

Sad part is, the pile of melted scrap is probably still worth as much or more than a regular car.

My wife's Cavalier burnt up also, but since it wasn't worth much, it decided to take out the 5 cars around it in the parking lot.

I do have to say that the lambo and Ferrari burn up more is cause they are made out of more exotic materials like carbon fiber and other lightweight stuff that isn't fireproof. A Camaro is mostly made out of aluminum and steel so of course its not gonna burn that much. Also surprised no one said anything about the viper that caught fire in the factory.
