There's no butthurt there at all. He's simply stating that driving around in a parking lot isn't the same as a road course comparison.

Theres so much defensiveness on both sides it's not funny.

I've got better things tombs than be defensive about a car I paid 55,940 dollars for. If the opinions of online communities make menregret or rethink a purchase of this magnitude, maybe I should rethink my future expenditures.

That was my whole point of that post that you may have missed. All you saw was me saying a mustang is lowly. Sorry, but I don't like mustangs, that's why I joined this camaro site. I apologize that my views on life don't align with yours.

I really just don't see the point in comparing these two cars. Two totally different cars that are sold in different markets.

Also, I don't really understand why people keep saying that Chevrolet will never make a more powerful camaro than a corvette. They already have How much hp does the Z06 make? Now how much does the ZL1 make? How is that a ceiling???

There's nothing "cheap" when it comes to owning any vette (this is coming from someone with firsthand experience).

Stripes was the movie the above quote was from.

Why do people do this? Are you really to lazy to say a few words? As if I could not read "these" from the earlier posts.
Once again proving this website can't have any fun anymore. They are agreeing with the post. So instead of saying, I agree with you, they just quoted it and said, This.... Apparently the guy they are agreeing with said all there is to say about a certain point.

The wave? You serious?

It's called the flash now. Like the wave, but only females, and.. Well...you can figure out what happens next.

Didn't you just answer your own question?

3.85 when it's perfect out, it's not perfect all the time everywhere.

So many awesome posts to quote, so I won't bother. I do love Cosby's excellent point about the ZL1 being easier to drive to it's limits. Getting past bench racing and chest thumping, it seems most folks are simply looking for awesome experiences. To that end, I think I might have awesomer (my new neologism) experiences in the ZL1 if I feel more confident with pushing it. The question becomes: what will make you squeal like a little girl without also causing a need for a change of pants?

Seems as though a smooth-shifting 6-speed will add "confidence". And shorten times.

Perhaps a few will have to post less, and practise shifting more...
