"Watch as the 505-horsepower 2014 Chevrolet Camaro Z28 battles the famed German Nurburgring track in inclement weather. With an impressive lap time of 7:37.47, that puts the Camaro ahead of the published times for the Porsche 911, Carrera S, and the Lamborghini Murcielago LP640."

I will start. This thing sounds amazing and finally a good 5th gen.

Plus:
I'm so happy that guys with a set of big brass ones engineer the Camaro and Corvette.
Wow that LS7 sound!
Nice sticky rubber from the factory.
Hopefully won't become a poseur's special.
Awesomeness of that lap time for a big ol' boy.
Puts to rest that this country can't make cars that turn.
It's a heck of a performance goal for the sixth generation.
Really, the last third of the lap in the wet, again, big brass ones FTW!

Minus:
3800 pounds....that's a lot of weight to sling around and a whole lotta mass when the shiny side wants to go turtle.
Wipers? Ha, just go faster.
Likely MSRP north of $55K.

While I'm not fond of the fifth gen, thinking that it's really a modern Chevelle instead of a proper Camaro, I will have to hand it to the team at the General for raising the pony car to a level in which no excuses or conditionals need apply when comparing it to the world's sports cars. I hope the focus continues for the sixth generation which should see some of the bulk disappear with hopefully none of the performance.
