"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." http://youtu.be/qj1h75vA1Jw I will start. This thing sounds amazing and finally a good 5th gen. This post has been edited by camarokid91: Oct 15 2013, 05:05 PM |

OH-YES Sounds: check
Fast lap time: check but.... Needs to lose a lot of weight before I'd seriously consider one. I'm happy to see the new mustang and the new m3 both have lost weight and I hope it wakes up the chevy boys to make either a lightweight version OR make the standard one a lot lighter. Costas cars and such... |

Yeah they honestly didn't cut much weight out.

2800 airbags and their associated pyrotechnics does add a lot of weight, doesn't it? (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/banghead.gif)

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. |

Way too heavy... it needs to go the route of the mustang for me to consider buying one.
