We are getting off track though. Going back to all the reviews. It looks like Chevy has delivered on everything that they set out to do. Weight, power, interior, tech, chassis, etc.
Ford also delivered some as well, road coarse performance with irs, 5.2 fpc and refinement. During the process they sacrificed weight and straightline performance. All these will be taken care of for the upcoming generation though. But since the competition is already ahead they need some serious revolution.

Here is what i want to see, Ford comparing their next gen gtpp to the current gt350tp and upcoming six gen camaro 1le, including straightline and road coarse performance. If we are good with the results, then continue with the bmw m4,m3 and porsche's for the benchmark.

My advice, never ever underestimate the main competitors (chevy and dodge).

As much as I love the Camaro, I don't discriminate, but when I look at it, I just don't get the same FEELING of 'omg I want that so bad' as I did with the Mustang
Nothing wrong with that. When a car speaks to you, you gotta get it.

Will similar styling and price make or break this car... that is all.

That whole front end is terrible. The whole thing looks like it is a big fat bloated arss.

These two cars may compete with each other but the looks and style are almost 2 completely different cars. This is my first American car in 25 years. I bought the Mustang because it is amazingly stylish like say the 3 S2000's I owned. I have no interest in a car that looks like a box.

I think they went way backwards when it comes to style. The previous model like the SS posted previously while still not looking very good, looks WAY better IMO than this model. If I was given one I'd drive a couple year old SS or Z28. If I was given one of these I'd sell it to the first taker if I could even find someone to take it...

The more I see pics of that lower grille on the SS, the more I hate it. The 'texture' of it is terrible. Ugh.

Whoever designed that should be banished to designing door pulls as punishment....

Pill have you considered our bet yet?
I am still punching holes in Motor Trends reports.

The GT350 and z28 Dyno was kinda the last straw. If Motor Trend can't understand a 7.5% drivetrain loss is impossible, I don't really trust anything they say.

They are either in on it or too stupid to realize. Either way, they are creating this show to get clicks.


Chevy will not deliver on their promises... Did Caddy deliver on theirs? Was the V 3600lbs? Was it 3700?? No... You as well as the handful of others here are being duped.


Long story short, if the Camaro flops, the Alpha program will be discontinued very quickly.

You are punching holes in reports that have multiple different cars and nobody knows which is which.

Forget motortrend. Forget all the magazine reviews at this point. We know what they are going to say.

Let's just get one on a scale and weigh it with listed options.

That's the best thing to do.
