Video of Genesis....Moving It's Ass !!!!!

I'm Sorry I think the SS is going to be out-handled.....I know this stupid to say when there's no review on the SS yet....but for a 3800ish pound muscle car to keep up with .....

Just because your Charger is fat, doesn't mean our Camaro won't be able to handle. No jumping the gun until we get some more info. Does this Genesis have a ring time yet?

But maybe... it does stand a chance. You just like bench racing don't you?

Watch the video review from consumer reports on the G8 GT if you have any doubts about Camaro's abilities. Keep in mind that the Camaro has chassis improvements over the G8 as well.

LOL read my sig, My SRT handles nice... People bitch about the body roll and don't have the balls to test the full potential of it's suspension same with the chally.....and with sticky tires...its a wrap

BTW-whats bench racing

bench racing - racing by numbers, statistics, and supposition instead of on the track.

Wow. Yeah gotta admit, that would be a bit difficult for the heavy Camaro to match. That just might be the canyon carver I need.

Bench racing is racing on paper, or magazine racing. Not actual side by side comparos.

Also, if a Cruze SS comes to light, i bet it would hold its own against the genesis... or just bring back the Sky/Solstice!

you do realize that 280lbs isn't too far off from a third of a ton.

Oh no never that I would like to compare with HANDS ON RESULTS!!!! lol

.... I still think the Genesis is faster cornering wise

I'm just speculating

Oh, please... stuff a professional stunt driver in the Camaro LT, and I bet he can flip the tail out just like that, too.

I get that everyone's got an eye on this car......but come on! The SS will flog this little upstart. You just watch!

I really don't see how you can tell anything from a video like that. If anything, I saw saw some understeer that he was countering by getting it to slide out. Just because a car is lighter doesn't mean it will handle better!

If we ever feel bad about the handling of the SS, all we have to do is throw a Challenger on the barbie.
