But if that is YOUR benchmark then YES the Camaro has outstanding visibility.
Sadly there are a lot of performance coupes and pretty much most if not all are better than the Camaro in this respect.
It did not have to be bad like your van. In fact it didn't really need to be this bad at all. GM just chose to make it that way. And since you aren't quite getting the point some are making, this is the issue. It did not need to be bad. GM could have chosen to make it best in class. They chose form over function.

I completely get it. While my post was mainly a joke, in a way it wasn't. I could buy service trucks that offer better visibility, but I'm willing to compromise that for all the other things that type of service truck ,in my post, has to offer. The same could be said about the Camaro. I think one of the biggest reasons they are liked so much is because of the styling, and if some visibility had to be compromised to achieve that then so be it. I had a 2010 GT500. I don't see where the visibility was any better in any kind of memorable way. If that is someone's main sticking point, then they shouldn't buy any car like that. Too many folks come from sedans into these things and get a shock. I bought a 2012 Equinox for a shop vehicle a while back. I have a harder time seeing out of that thing than my Camaro. Good thing for me I have close to 30 years of driving large vehicles with little visibility, I know how to properly adjust and use my mirrors along with the smarts enough to drive defensively.
If they could improve visibility without affecting the looks, I would image they would have done so. You can't see shit out of a Corvette either, but I never hear anyone complain about it.
