First, you said that it was about chassis. It’s not. Second, too much power for whom? Where else do you use the power/abilities any of these cars possess, other than on a track and/or drag strip? Are you a professional street racer or something? Lol!

No, it's not about chassis, it's about traction. Roads and tires can only hold a certain amount of power, period. Particularly when you're comparing front engine, rear drive vehicles. It's the same reason an AWD vehicle with less power can often times put down faster 0-60 on the street. It's all...

I probably agree with your assessment about them "being impressed". Which means this whole test and the subsequent scoring is absurd, and shouldn't hold much weight.

The word "NOT" is now subjective? Again, no. It's not. In regards to the putting the car in a "ditch/dirt" comment, they were specifically talking about the track. How do we know this, because they said it, "The GT500 is alive on the track." They weren't talking about putting power to the...

This is exactly what I was pointing to. I actually just noticed the 1/4 mile performance myself. How in the hell is it a tie, when the 500 beat both cars in the 1/4? That makes no sense whatsoever. By their non-logic, it should have been a 3-way tie. :crackup: A 6 point advantage for...

No. They didn't. "That's NOT because of any failing on the part of the GT500." Too much power for the chassis would indicate a failing. There is no failing, per their own words.

It did? When I speak of category, I mean the primary score categories they list at the bottom: Vehicle, Powertrain, Chassis, and Experience. There are multiple subcategories within each of those categories. You can see the total score for each of those categories. The number in blue indicates...

That's definitely NOT what they were saying regarding the ditch comment. Here is what they actually said, with my emphasis added: "The GT500 is alive on the track. After only one session, it was identified as the car most likely to end up in the dirt. That's NOT because of any failing on the...

Thanks for sharing the file. Like I stated earlier, the most interesting thing to me is that the Camaro didn’t actually win a single category on the scorecard. It only won the overall because of the points they gave it over the 500 in the “Vehicle” category. More specifically, the 11 point...

How are the Car & Driver drivers for these tests? I am a bit surprised they were only able to manage a 3.7 0-60 in the 500. Stangmode after just a couple of tries during his very first drive in the 500, managed a 3.3 0-60 on some nasty, back road on the outskirts of Vegas. Maybe the Sport Cup...

And she was right! :crackup:

My A and B are definitely reversed. lol!

Funny, after looking at the scoring sheet, the Camaro didn't win a single category and only beat the 500 in 1 category and that's the "Vehicle" category. It beat out the 500 in that category because of "features/amenities" and "price". Those two alone accounted for 11 points over the 500...

Good catch! Thanks for sharing that. I only perused the article. Lol

This was definitely a result of personal preferences, and predominately aimed at track "feel". I am a bit surprised that MPG on the TRACK was a consideration for the overall verdict. It's interesting on steering feel too. I personally think it's fantastic (better than the 350), but have not...

Probably! :cwl: In all seriousness, my hood alignment from the factory definitely left something to be desired. My hood latch was too low and the fenders needed adjustment. I took care of those myself, but the left side of the hood was higher from the factory and it's not the bumpers. Not sure...

I did receive a FedEx shipping notification. My estimated delivery is scheduled for next Tuesday, the 18th. I received the notification a few days ago.

That is interesting. I have to release the passenger side on mine first for it to work.

Clearly aftermarket. They didn't ship with the car! :crackup:

Hopefully we're all not off by 1 on the chassis number. :inspect:
