I agree. I would have a tough time daily'ing a GT350. The GT PP1 is a perfect daily though. PP2 would also work but the slightly lowered ride height along with expensive tires wouldn't make it as practical.
Good luck with your new Camaro. My last Camaro was a 67 Yenko 1 of 54 built. 427 with Tri Power and rear disk brakes. The car was an "Animal" and scary fast. But compared to todays refined cars. the ride left a lot to be desired and was hard to control when you were in it. I'm looking forward to my new GT. I hope you do join us in the future.
Besides the engine, how is the mustang WAY ahead exactly? The s550 platform certainly isn't more advanced than the Alpha platform. The A10 is a GM/Ford co-creation that was already in the ZL1 and will likely go in the 19' SS.
I agree - The Alpha platform is world class and in a different class than the s550's, The Camaro has the best M6 of the 3, The LT1 is no joke and pretty easily modded, and I still admire the simplicity of one cam over 4, it's lower center of gravity, and its lighter weight, and low end torque. The Camaro is the better car, but the Mustang has styling and practicality elements that draw me to it. While the interior is cozier in the Camaro, I admire Chevy for upping their game on interior quality.
What have you been smoking? Seriously, you are so far off base.
I agree the S550 chassis is well behind the alpha in technology and as a performance platform. They did wonders with an old platform being updated to meet modern standards, but all new should save a good bit of weight while dealing with the increasingly stupid IIHS crash tests. (next time I hit a bank vault at 40mph at a perfect angle with a tiny sliver of my car, I'll be that tiny bit safer)
You know, you must be right - the Alpha Platform sucks. For example, consider the pathetic performance of this Alpha platform vehicle at this Mickey Mouse track in Northern Germany:
The ZL1 1LE is one of the fastest production cars ever made. It has supercar performance for a not-supercar price.
Fixed your post.
You don't seem to have very good reading comprehension skills.
How fast a car is doesn't directly tell you whether it has a "world class" or "superior" chassis. It might just tell you that the car has a lot of aerodynamic aids, very stiff suspension that is basically unlivable on the street, extremely wide and sticky tires that are expensive and will wear out quickly, and a big, powerful engine.
