Topic: First Drive: 2016 Chevrolet Camaro

Everybody knows what all the secretary's prefer to buy,  big numbers for the Mustang. If you want the sports car buy the Camaro. Gen 6 Camaro is killing the Mustang in all the reviews and I suspect It'll hurt its sales too.

Odd...the bulk of Camaros I see are secretary cars too.  But that has always been the case.  The V8s aren't ever the bulk of the sales IMO.  But never mind..the interior of the Camaro is still a train wreck.  I'd being compelled to drive a Mustang for that fact alone.

me too, I like windows and to see out of my car. Camaro doesnt allow you to do that. Example: I cant see any lights when stopped at a red. All I see is headliner.

Yea..the slit windows while stylish aren't really a great idea for being able to see out the car.

Looks like they're getting more out of the LT1 a couple years in......That's why it's putting up such good numbers.....

Should it be putting out more than a Vette though??

Bah.  I wouldn't read too much into it.  Unless the dyno is done back to back, under the same conditions, with the exact same fuel, it's tough to compare.

The Corvette is also a hell of a lot lighter than the Camaro SS. 3684 lb vs. 3300lbs.  Heck the Camaro SS isn't far off the GT-R's weight (3825 lbs).

Yeah, my point (although it wasn't that of the article) is that it's putting out a lot more power than advertised. Since the Vette uses the same engine I don't think it makes more in a Camaro I just think they've worked out the kinks on this engine at the factory. There were a lot of issues with it in the first model year of the Stingray.

Things are fine now and it's a monster 

PS, I would never buy a first year GM product. No way.

Same.  I'd wait until at least 2 model years pass by.
