It’s the best Camaro EVER. So why does it sell so poorly?

I never said the engines were bad. They just didn’t do anything significant. Camaro performs great because the chassis, or do you think the ZL1 wouldn’t be any faster with 760 horsepower from the GT500?
Camaro sells poorly because GM ignored all the complaints about visibility. They sacrificed even more usability for performance.
Ford and Dodge develop stuff like the GT350 and Demon to generate excitement. GM would never do that for the Camaro. The closest thing GM ever came to something like any of the Mustang Rs or Demon was the Z/28 and even that was forced to use off the shelf parts for major components. The engine was a decade old and the brakes were from the C7. With the C7 going supercharged, we never got another Z/28.
