Sorry but for 65 grand I'll take a Corvette Grand Sport. At 3, 400 lbs vs the Camaro ZL1's 4, 000 lb curb weight, the Vette is 600 lbs lighter. Chevy advertises the Grand Sport at 3. 6 seconds 0-60, same as the ZL1 Camaro even though it has 190 less HP. But where the Vette will best the Camaro is braking and cornering and the intangible feel of a car 600 lbs lighter. Chevy has done an amazing job making a 4, 000 lb Camaro generate lateral acceleration numbers on a smooth skid pad. But they can't overcome the physics of an additional 600 lbs of weight. The Grand Sport does better. Now take that comparison off a perfectly smooth skid pad and the difference becomes even more apparent with quicker reflexes on real world roads with uneven pavement. Also the Camaro doesn't look anywhere near as good as a Grand Sport and it has some severe problems with outward visibility that borders on claustrophobic. While the Grand Sport isn't exactly perfect when it comes to outward visibility, it's not as bad as the Camaro. Nothing is, LOL.

I've been a fan of the Camaro since the '07 Transformers movie, been in love with it from that point on The ZL1 is not the kind of Camaro I would use or need, I mean, a 650 HP car is not for just anybody, obviously Unless you use it on a track on a regular basis. But the base Camaro would probably suit me just fine as a commute car, you know, to go to work and back home, but I'm a bit of a showoff, so I might have a little fun with it with loud music blasting for the speakers, actually, I already do that with my own car But I have to say, I simply love the look, it's agressive and to me, one of the coolest cars ever made, I certainly like the look of the Mustang and even the Challenger, but the Camaro hits the bullseye for me, maybe one day, I'll get one myself and enjoy it to the fullest, as it should be Nice review, Doug

I enjoy this review however it is clear you know nothing about performance cars. Camaro wins heavily based on tunability and heritage in my book, something I'm sure you and fanboys are cleary uneducated. If you're going to run a page about auto reviews at least become a litte sophisticated in your opinions. These types of reviews influence the community. I'll show you what I mean if you message me.

Blind spot is done by using the Side view mirrors one does not need to do anything else and before you say I cant see behind me you can it's called the rear view mirror. That is why the inventor of the side view mirrors invented them think about it turning one's head is a pain in the ass and in the case of quick move needs to happen a quick glance and you make a move.

I'm surprised that one of Doug's X's doesn't come on here and give him a Doug score: He's tall with light eyes, so he gets a 7 for height and a 6 for eye color, but he talks a lot and is sometimes a rambler so he get's just a 4 for communication. His body structure is nice, but he could use a good visit to the gym, so we give him a 4 here. etc

I have a 2017 v6 in garnet red (best color ever made) and its ridiculous. The stock exhaust screams and pops and it gets noticed as much as an ss. 335hp and its no slouch, if you have 20k to spend on some sporty daily driver get a used 6th gen v6 camaro. I also get around 30 mpg on the highway.

The number of times you said the price was marked up too much, which is why people aren't buying them, is astronomical. The GT350 isn't selling. The ZL1 is all over the place. You just have a personal bias. Tell the truth, and it's not performance, the looks are subjective.

this car has so much junk, that would never be used. delete all the crap, leave the engine/ trans/ diff / ac and radio 1000 Watts and nothing else and drop the price by 20k and i'll buy one first thing in the morning. but all that jazz jizz junk is a waste of brain cells and money.

How did you like the 10 speed in this car? How does it compare to the dual clutches Chevy likes to say it competes with? It certainly sounds fast, but I'd like to here it from someone who has experience with a wide variety of cars like you do.
