No, I dont expect the Camaro to outperform the Evo. Thast askign too much. I just want GM to exceed my expectations, kind of like they did with the Cobalt. If they can go from Cavalier to Cobalt, I expect just as big an upgrade for the Fbody. Anything less would be a bit disappointing.

even though the car is not winning any beauty contests, i think it's a much cleaner design than the VIII....and, since the X will be on an all-new platform in 2007, Mitsu will pull out ALL the stops with this last model...expect it to be the best Evo ever built (for now)
