Trust me... the Camaro will blow away everything on the road.. for the first year until everyone has one.


Pros/Cons of the GXP compared to the Camaro

Pros.

1. 4 doors, much more room

2. ill assume it has a more comfortable ride, (sedan.)

3. This is the big one IMO. The GXP is going to be much more rare, if you owned one you'd probably never run into another G8 GXP owner without looking for one.


Cons.

1. Styling. Not that its bad, but there is a really short list of cars that can beat the Camaro's Styling.

2. Weight. It is heavier so less fuel economy and less aggressive acceleration

3. Price

A tick over 13.0 sec. and you're through the quarter-mile. It's a rush, of course, but not overly dramatic. Try the same thing with this pair's predecessors of 1970 or so and you'll find yourself in a bit of a wrestling match. Ain't progress wonderful? Maybe yes, and maybe sometimes it's fun to wrestle."
