So a 135 is about 3400lbs and 300hp. That’s 11.33333 lbs/hp. A SS will be about 3800lbs and 426hp. That’s 8.92 lbs/hp. So what’s underpowered? -TJ ---

My Camaro is probably in various bits and pieces all over the world (aka not built yet). I am pretty serious about getting one since I just found out my IS is getting bought back on Lemon Law :itr41::itr41::itr41::itr41: but I still need to see the interior in person to see if I can get over it. I’ll admit the car is not perfect. It is heavier than I’d like and the interior is pretty ugly in pics, I’m hoping it feels/looks a lot nicer behind the wheel. -TJ ---

The car has been tested by a magazine with a 13.0 @ 110 mph 1/4 mile time. It weighs 3,849 lbs and has 426 hp and 420 ftlb tq…which is 9.04lbs/hp.

on another note, i got to drive a new camaro yesterday. dealer had one just come in for a demo. i was the first one to take it out, had 2.8 miles on it. too bad it was a 2lt auto. the v6 doesnt feel that bad, but the weight of the car kills that motor. and TJ, the interior isnt bad at all, everything is within fingertip reach and it is all nicely finished. i was kinda shocked with that since GM usually isnt too great in that dept. ---

The only new “retro” car worth looking at is the mustang. The mustang was the first pony car back in the day and all the others have just been copying since then. mustang\>camaro\>challenger (I give the camaro a higher mark than the challenger because it is not a dodge 😃 ) Somehow I agree with this reasoning. I think the Camaro is fugly, but it still looks better than a BMW 135. Regardless of how well it performs, it is not an inspiring car. The 335 is a sweet car, and far nicer than a 135. I know it is more $$, but if you are looking for the prestige of owning a German car, you are going to pay for it. M-B cars are better German cars, anyway. A CLK63 is far cooler than an M3, anyday. More money, but cooler. ![http://cdn-www.rsportscars.com/images/mercedes-benz/2008-mercedes-benz-clk-63-amg-black-series/clkblack08_061600.jpg](http://cdn-www.rsportscars.com/images/mercedes-benz/2008-mercedes-benz-clk-63-amg-black-series/clkblack08_061600.jpg) ---

not a fan of the new look. interior kills it for me. but to each his own. as for porsche-- a lot of people own them who cant nessecarily drive them. i know, i deal w/ them every day. hell, the factory plays w/ alignment specs so people dont kill themselves b/c they cant drive them or try to lift in a corner or brake when they shouldnt…put a good driver behind the wheel and thats when the car’s capabilities shine. this car does not compare fit and finish wise to anything they ever made. one look at the interior tells me a well apointed vw has a nicer cabin. will the camaro turn heads–yes. will it still have a nice presentation 10 years form now, that i doubt. one thing i will say about german cars, even older ones still give a nice presentation and are nto dated after their years. 20 yr old german cars look at home on the road today as they did when new. the 4th gen and 1st gen camaro imo are the nicest camaro designs still to date. for the trans am, 2nd/4th gen trans am are the body styles i like most. ---
