I was wondering when we'd see it show up at the ring.

The brembo's are nice. I love this car more and more and I didn't think that was possible

Performance is cool, fun and exciting for us the enthusiast, but we can't lose sight that he who sells more V6 cars wins!

The better the V6 is the better it will connect with the people and the better the Volume of sales. It is all about Profit.

It is not all about 0-60 MPH it is really about 0-100,000 units.

The pimp slaps come after 150,000 units served.

Most cars have less pad on the rear as not to upset the cars balance and lock up the rear under brakeing. They will run larger rotors to remove heat at the rear.

The one car that does have larger rear brakes is the G8. I never heard why but it is a Zeta too so this may be something we may see here?

So could this be the first seriously excellent handling Camaro out of the showroom? I've owned so many F-Bodies and was kinda shocked when I out-handled Iroc-Zs in my 95 Cadillac ETC...

Plus the fronts are at an angle. Look at the close-ups of each and the size of the rotor contact area is obviously smaller on the rears.

rear brakes larger than front = sucky for drag racers

and I'm actually starting to like the non-production headlights

I think this car will be on a level beyond what most expect.

In the end this will be the best handling and performing Camaro ever. It will not be just about big numbers but the feel, ride and precision we never got in the older cars.

My 97 3.8L was a killer handling car. That was one of the only things I didn't complain about.

The 3rd gens were some of the best handling cars in the market during their run. The 4th gen cars are capable of outhandling cars that cost far more money, especially with the 1LE suspension package.
