Talking Not a Pontiac, but . . .

1000% utterly amazing and bad to the bone. STUPID fast. Take THAT, Mustang and Challenger!

Meh. The styling still looks like it was designed by a 12 year old. If I were buying I'd get the GT350 and pocket the $15,000 difference.

WOW!! The driver did a lot of coasting instead of hard braking before the turns!

That thing must be a beast!!

I couldn't agree more. Give me the driveline and chassis but you can leave the body to a junkyard.

I'll take mine in black with the 6 speed stick, not that 10 speed auto.

I'd still have a hard time picking any new car over the Challenger tho.

I just sat in one of the new Camaros for the first time today. I had read that the visibility was "improved" from the prior model. But it's still just ridiculous. I even sort of like the exterior looks, but to enjoy a fast car you need to be able to see out of it. No thanks.

Ehh, I kinda disagree. Most fast cars you cant see much out of, and I'd rather have the roof line look good than having high visibility.

So does the new version have a usable sun Visor? I could not believe that a modern car had a sunvisor that looked like it was robbed from a 1950's MG. Like the last version. I know its nit picking but it just bugged the heck out of me in the Nevada Sun when I rented one.
