No. There's cars with way brighter lights than Camaros, but are not nearly as blinding to oncoming cars.

IMHO, the issue is not limited to just Camaros. I have seen GM vehicles with crappy headlights, like 1st gen Volts with Halogens, have really high aim from the factory. Is that a GM thing? I don't know.. but I recall Pontiac Grand Am to be stupidly blinding, even for halogens (yes, they were multireflectors and not projectors, but so were other similar cars).

High aiming lights are great, when you are by yourself in a dark country road. But it sucks in the city. People hate you, people high beam back at you, and the light spreads out too far with less concentration on where you really need to see in city/slow driving.
