Pulls better than my C7 but too big and heavy so i won't keep it long. C8 will never work as i can't go fishing offshore as there is no room and never trust the trans out of warranty. Think i will hunt up a used C7 Z06 with low miles. Just nothing being made i really want.
I hear ya. EVs can be powerful and fast. EVs will also most likely be heavy. I say "most likely" because Tesla has seemingly found the secret sauce to manufacturing comparatively light EVs. Our Model Y actually weighed just a little bit less than our Cadillac SRX, even though they are about the same size. And the SRX is 2WD whereas the Model Y is AWD.

But the real answer to the OP's question is the last thing you said. Nothing is being made in the class of vehicles that Camaro played in. Except Mustang. And sales of that car are slamming head on into a brick wall even though it has had zero competition until the Dodge Charger 550 with the Hurricane engine came out. And enthusiasts are pissing all over the Charger because it's an inline 6 instead of a V8. Oh, and it's heavy. And it's expensive. Other than that Mrs. Lincoln...
