This thing is a pocket rocket. They give it a brief review plus a blast around Laguna Seca.

i was laughing hard, thinking about how any normal person could drive that on the street!!
I mean, you'd need to have your orthodontist on speed-dial and Panadol as your driving sponser. I no, i no it's a track, designed car but crap, i was even bouncing watching the video in front of my PC Lol. |

Corvette sales are starting to take a dive too. They do that though because it's been out a couple of years now, the Camaro is surprising.

I am not sure I understand the desire for understeer/push. I can tell you, at high speed it is not fun.
LOL, you have to lift off the throttle and hope the front gets a bite, then there is a good chance the car wants to spin around on you. So then you are dealing with that. Last edited by solarite_guy; 31-08-2017 at 09:15 AM. |

Agreed, I love it. It's big, it's boofy, it's a proper manual, it has some kool tech. And it's fast.

July car sales USA.
Mustang 6206 Camaro 4713 Mustang sales down about 3000 on July 2016 but that could be due to new model not far away.

I can't comment on whether it is a failure for GM as I don't know what their estimates for sales each month is nor do I know what their expected return on investment for the Camaro was/is.

Sales dropping on release and never increasing over the previous model is a fail. They were banking on increased sales and knocking the Mustang off, which they failed to achieve.
