What I'd really want to see in the 6th gen is improved dynamics....I'd want lighter weight, more agility, better balance, and better steering feel/feedback. These, not power, are the 5th gen weak points. The good news is the ATS has proven to have all of these characteristics, so they should translate over to the next Camaro as well...
Pretty much exactly what I would have said...I agree. If the 5th gen weighed a good 300+ lbs less, and was a bit more agile feeling it would be the perfect car without needing any more power in my opinion.
