It just felt tighter. Seriously. Tighter, more responsive. I also felt more connected to the road by the smaller size/feel of the car; which wasn't as cramped as I remembered. The Camaro felt like a cruiser with some good throw-around-ability. I'd still drive it no prob at all. Don't get me wrong, the Camaro does handle very well and I loved driving it. But if I was spending my money; I'd hold out for an '11 GT and see where that goes. The Zeta just keeps seeming more and more 'a bit too big' to me, but not as much as the Challenger. That car was effin' huge.

But it's my opinion that the Mustang just handled better. It very well may not handle better and it may be my perspective which is off. It still needs more power.. bad. I can't say that enough. I'll buy an LT before I buy a '10 GT if I had to today.


Also, enjoyed your new Avatar. You know you are Bad A$$ when you hop in your Mig fighter plane and taxi over to the other side of the airport to see an airshow........which he did at Willow Run a few years ago. He taxied his MFing jet fighter from the hanger over to the airshow where he was announced. "Hey everybody, it's Bob Lutz". He hopped out of the plane in his green jump suit.............waved at everybody.................got back in his Mig......................and taxied his plane back to the hangar. No lift off, no flying. Just drove it like it was #$^%&*#ing golf cart. THAT is Bad A$$

Dude..

He's Lutz. He's got an Effing MiG. What's a few hundred pounds of Jet A wasted going from one taxiway to another? We do that with the COA planes all the time. Hell, from the maintenance hangar we just hop on the wing as it's running down the runway and use it like a Gator. Doors open and everything. I'll get pics of some of the guys doing runups on the Cirrus planes. Gulldoors open. Pull onto the runway then decide to pull the doors closed as they start the take off roll like it was an afterthought.
There's a reason why he's my hero, 3.

I LOVE GM vehicles, and particularly Chevy's, but would buy any GM vehicle if I had the $$...Hopefully, one day, soon enough, a 5th Gen CAMARO! Dave_O
