I'm in awe. The end is pretty damn crazy too. I wish I was young again. My wife would look at me like I'm crazy.

Its funny how the automagic SS is faster than the Manual, even though it has less hp. I wonder if the times will drop significantly with good drivers..

That's a lot of car for the coin.
For me, I love everythign I read but man that weight is jsut too high for me. Yeah yeah I know, it can handle it all and what not, but just too heavy. 20" rims turns me off too, bigger the rim=more it cost to replace tires.
Cars looks solid though, let's see if resale value do to it what it did to the GTO, if so, another friggin bargain in the marketplace to come.
LS3? mmmmmm.

That's very impressive performance for the price. The Camaro just looks awesome, so much more stylish than the Corvette. I'd be tempted to take the performance hit relative to the "Vette in exchange for those looks.

Wow, pretty impressive. I'd take one of these over the Mustang or Challenger any day. It's better looking inside and out (minus those hard-to-read gauges and cluster). But with 426hp under the hood, it should be able to do a LOT better than 13-flat in the 1/4 mile. This is a 4000lb car that should weigh 3400lbs at the most...
