When gordan murray set out to design the perfect sports car, he put the seat in the center, used a huge windshield and big windows in an attempt to maximize visibility.
Is it because you need visibility to drive....no. It’s because the pleasure of driving is improved by visibility. It’s a mantra of mclaren ever since.
I saw just fine out of the camaro, but it certainly had a coffin like experience. That’s what the problem is. From a practical standpoint, it’s not THAT bad. From and an experience perspective, it is bad. The car just makes up for it with insane performance.
If I were to ever buy a camaro, it’d have to be a drop top. This is coming from someone that is obsessed with the alpha chassis and promotes it all the time. The visibility issue is not overblown IMO.
