CAMARO6 - View Single Post - Edmunds: 2016 Camaro styling to be evolutionary, not revolutionary

In my opinion, what Chevy needs to focus most on the next Camaro is:
1) Weight - The 5th gen is way too heavy and that hurts performance and fuel efficiency.
2) Performance - With the LT1 producing significantly more torque and a good bit more power than the Coyote, there is no reason the 6th gen V8 shouldn't run away from the GT. The 1LE is around because they made the base SS handle so poorly. The next gen SS should not be so cushy and soft. Even my mom said she would buy a 1LE over an SS because the SS was that bad.
3) Quality - It seems like the 5th gen is holding up well. Keep that up with the 6th gen.

I know people want all sorts of technology packed into their car but that adds weight, cost and complexity. That also leaves out people who want a muscle car, not an ATS with a Chevy badge on it. I don't need standard 24 way adjustable power seats that warm and massage my ass. I can't remember the last time I moved my seat and if I do, it takes 10 seconds to get it back in the right spot. I have navigation on my iPhone, so leave out the expensive nav system. I have a phone with music so I don't need Pandora in my car.
