Sounds like a V-6 that Dale is driving or am I wrong?

...not the final/production exhaust. (we noted similar in Milford, ...and were specifically told, ..."...don't worry, ...we're not done...")

What about his comment:
"there's a lot of body roll.........there's a little body roll..........it's not neccessary"

And I'm not sure that it would be a good thing if it felt like an old Camaro or Chevelle, as Jr. suggests.

Watch it again. I don't think he was talking about the handling specifically when he said that. He was more like talking about the overall driving impression or "feel" behind the wheel.

There's no way it handles like an old Camaro... it is light years ahead of even heavily modified 1st gens (like mine ).

SO will the CNBC show on 8/6 be like a "All Corvettes are Red" kind of behind the scenes documentary on the Camaro or more on GM with a side profile of the Camaro?

Look at the Camaro he's driveing. It's not a final production car. So I would assume that will be taken care of.

what...do you expect it to be perfect as soon as they bolted it all together? It's a test car...that's why they build test cars.

Pause it at 58 seconds and look at the silver camaro in the back ground its not the concept, looks like it has stripes on the hood as well.
