Interesting, I'm not trying to pick fights, and I didn't realize I was "critiquing" the Camaro -- in fact I know I wasn't.This is just a no-nothing hate rant. Yes, the Camaro has it's bad points and plenty of them, but you can't seem to fairly critique it without bashing it.
If you reread my post, you will see it was a sarcastic post pointing out the Camaro's "flaws"(some fact, some opinion, but far from "gospel") for anyone that seems to think it matters what the Camaro guys think about S550. If the Camaro ran on unicorn tears and exhausted leprechaun farts, then they have a case -- but with a car that is far from perfect, it makes zero difference what they say. So people should not wish the Mustang looked different because of what some Camaro driving magazine racer says, they should decide for themselves. And yes, it was a rant, I disclosed that right away.
But if you have to be serious, the Z28 is a joke and you shouldn't mention it -- it SHOULD be extremely capable for the price and all the BS that is thrown into it -- let's compare apples to apples here. I sure as hell hope it could leave a Boss 302 in the dust. Good thing the magazines will tell us, because until it gets its own class created, it won't be running in many sanctioned events.
I would hardly call 2014 "The Year of the Z28". Not many are going to care about a $70k car that has a lower production number for the entire year than the number of V6/GT Mustangs or RS/SS Camaros that are sold in 1 week. Will it be fast? I hope so. Will it be special? Maybe. Will it be used for what it was built? Doubt it.
I never denied that GM makes cars that perform great -- I was just pointing out that the Mustang drives as good or better with a solid axle. Considering how crappy a solid rear axle is for anything other than drag racing, the Camaro's IRS is pretty disappointing, but that just my opinion.Do we need to talk about the 1LE as well??
Im a pretty big GM fan mainly because I like the smallblock V8 but they have some amazing driving cars that preform great despite their supposed heft. To deny that is simply crazy.
