Good review......on the other hand,why do so many instantly agree with these magazines when they are praising the products they like,when on the other hand,if said magazine gives a slightly negative review or a product loses a comparo,suddenly these magazines are garbage,biased,import fawning trash that "nobody reads anyway".......................interesting.
I think this is a good review and while i'm not buying a V6,i'm really excited about the SS if the V6 is getting such good press.

Because those same mags, usually hate on American cars, so when they actually have something good to say about them, it is pretty impressive and must mean the car is equally impressive.

Not really,go buy 'Camaro performance portfolio',it reprints every Camaro review from '93-00 and you couldn't find a more praised car. I'm just saying wait until the Camaro gets a tiny negative remark and the hate mail will start flowing. It's not just the Camaro,it's any car. I just find it funny that everyone is a fair-weather magazine fan.

Body rigidity is exemplary, too. The Mustang can only dream of delivering handling at this level of performance and sophistication.

Text in bold is part of the reason for it's level of sophistication... the other is a well developed IRS. Both add weight but the trade-off is a far superior and more enjoyable package to drive.

I can live without the bone jarring demeanor of some cars... because they were not engineered well enough from the outset - and I wouldn't pay premium money for one of those cars, no way. None of that applies to the Camaro, thankfully.

Just in case you wanted to add some weight to your Camaro for pure appearance.

i think it was a legit question. the angle of the viewable portion of the radio looks like it might reflect light. that angle still exist regardless if your a passenger or driver.

obviously its a picture. but its a picture of the radio with an angle to it that may or may not reflect light in a way that it would make it difficult to read the screen.
