Same with the ZL1 vs Hellcat comparison. The ZL1 is clearly the better performance car. Chevy’s focus is doing everything well. Not a HP number.
I think within the enthusiast circles, people know, and we see the Camaro’s abilities acknowledged by the other camps, both here and on their forums. Some just hate it...just because
Advertising won’t help IMO. Higher ATP and retail sale show Chevy is getting the enthusiast sale in the V8 models. I’d prefer GM focus on getting Cadillacs share of Alpha production up rather than diluting the Camaro with low end trims and rental cars
