Damn..., I will say again the V6 sounds better than the V8

It sounds like an import with a STRONG hint of muscle PERFECT


I can't wait to see what dodge do next year

Awesome video. Chirped 2nd.
Notice that had the 20" on it with manual trans.
Wonder if the 18" would make a big diff.?

I agree, It is addicting. I know this is off topic but do you think the smaller tire like the 18" would make a diff. in the test or burn out? Or is is so miniscule it wouldnt really matter?

If the height of the tire on the 18 inch rim is equal to the height of the tire on the 20 inch rim (which it is in the new Camaro btw) then there is zero affect on straightline acceleration. Having said this, the 18 inch tire would need to have more sidewall to be the same height as the 20 inch tire and this would affect the slalom times negatively.

what he said. The reviews also talked about it. No matter what size tire you get the wheel well will look the same.
