Depends. $10K is a lot of money to some people, not so much to another. (For the record, I consider $10K a significant amount.)

Yeah, let's, since the only Camaro to hit any sort of track thus far has been a GM test mule. Until they do, anything regarding their performance is hearsay and conjecture.

Yes, I know what I could do with it, but the question is, what would you do with it?

A tick over 13.0 sec. and you're through the quarter-mile. It's a rush, of course, but not overly dramatic. Try the same thing with this pair's predecessors of 1970 or so and you'll find yourself in a bit of a wrestling match. Ain't progress wonderful? Maybe yes, and maybe sometimes it's fun to wrestle."

It might, however, cause a lot of women who currently drive Mustangs to swing over to the Camaro.


Actually you'd be surprised

Look at in-house competition in GM from 30 years ago and on

The Trans Am was given a more "Aggresive Ride" while the camaro had a more forgivin suspension. And it showed in sales. The Trans Am was synonomous with racing and the Camaro while it had some racing heritage...it was more of just a kickass road car.

I cant remember when this survey was taken...but they asked why some women bought a mustang over the fbody back in the 60's (back when pants were still not all the way phased into women's fashion) ...i think like 40 percent said that because in the fbodies...when you would sit down...thier skirt would fall down near thier hips because the car was so low to the ground , also when they would also get out of the car they would accidentally flash everyone a pair of thier favorite undergarments.

While i dont have to worry about my man skirt comin up and down...i still like to consider the amount of comfort i will be able to have in a car.

That is only because they had a low baseline to begin with. I do find the new mustang attractive too, but it's like polishing rust.

Yeah, the 2010 camaro is a huge improvement over the low baseline 03-09 model. It's like polishing... air.
