^True, but you do have to consider the technology available for the generations at the time. The first gens were trendsetters, as well as the second gen. However, the automobiles at those times didn't have the suspension and tire advantages that the 3rd, 4th and 5th gens had. Its great that the ladder day camaros outperformed their predecessors, but they did so as a result of the advancement of technology and lessons learned from building prior camaros.

Now...imagine a factory built first gen with an ls3, lowering springs, bilstein shocks and brembos. That would strike fear in (almost) any other factory built camaro!
