Well its all but confirmed about the Track pack for the Camaro, its obvious the Camaro isnt a great handler, although it only finished 1.4 ticks behind the GT500 at the nuhremburg (I spelled that wrong). Styling is to each his own, I know alot that hate the rear of the Stang, although I think it looks alot better after some time seeing it.
The 1977 Z28 isnt a road handler either ....although gorgous
I'm not a big fan of the rear of the 2010 Stang, but I have seen ways to make it look better. The rear of a car can be fixed. An entire car itself (the Camaro) can't be fixed.
The times that both, the Camaro and the Shelby put down at the Nurburgring are very unimpressive to me. The Camaro did the Nurburgring in only two seconds faster than a Cobalt SS, and then GM shook their pom-poms like this was some sort of fantastically accomplished feat (given the pig's 4000 lb weight, it may have been...). Those two seconds were undoubtedly gained in a straight line, one in which the Cobalt never recovered from.
While you're chewing on that, let's put it into perspective. We have a newly designed vehicle with an independent rear suspension, slick 6spd manual, RWD, over 400 hp and 400 lb-ft of torque from a 6.2L V8 that circled the Nurburgring in only two seconds faster than a hotted-up FWD economy car.
Good job, GM.
Now, there's word that GM is going to put a "Track Pack" on the Camaro. How much time do you think that's going to shave off of a lap at the Nurburgring? GM will be lucky if it shaves off 5 seconds, which IMO, on a track over 10 miles long is not much of an accomplishment, and is hardly going to be worth a thing in the real world.
Maybe you're fooled into thinking the new Camaro is a great car, but hey, to each his/her own...
I didn't realize either one of them had anything to do with performance.
