It may fare well on the straights, but just like the Challenger it's HUGE. It's a full size sedan with a pony car body stretched to fit.
Turning a corner will not be it's forte.

It won't handle like an elise, but it won't handle like a Ford F350.

Not that the Nurburgring is the be all and end all in comparing lap times but it didn't fair too bad.

i dont see how this car "kills" the 370 in the quarter when its only 2 or 3 tenths faster....sure its more powerful....but its comparing a muscle car to a sports car. The 370 can almost keep up in the straights with a lot less power and I would love to see what happens in the corners

But, at least we know from sitting in the car that the interior sucks too...

nice step up from the hideous, current Mustang, but still a big heavy boat....would be fun to play around in if it had a big block....ahh, the good ol days of 454s

Name a stock 454 car that put out better numbers than the 2010 378 Camaro (I doubt even the much lighter 454 Corvette could match the 2010 Camaro SS in a drag race).
