The M2 is a phenomenal car, but the Camaro is clearly a more superior car

Interesting reading the overall positive posts regarding the Camaro. Some Camaro bashing but quickly set straight by guys saying the Camaro is no joke.

Evidence that aiming high with the Alpha based Camaro is slowly changing the brand perception. I like it

Go to any track day and you will see them flooded with these types of cars, all can put up serious times, and all can "race." Also I don't think I have EVER seen a "boxster" at the track. Ever. Cayman, yes. 911, yes. But never a boxster (a convertible) in my over 40 track days.

In addition, "a boxster will take it"? What in bloody hell are you smoking? Even if I give you the benefit of the doubt and assume you are talking about the current generation 718 boxster S (the faster one if you weren't aware), it is not even close. The Camaro has 100 more HP and TQ, half a second faster to 60, and faster around literally every track. And not to mention that the M2 is also faster than the boxster.

Hell the Camaro can hold its own against the 911 on the track and the road.

I guess I'm wondering what the hell you are talking about? But then again I often wonder about that from emblem chasers and those who buy just for "looks." The thing is that it's hard to take you seriously when you have only driven a nearly 30 year old car for the past 27 years. I don't mean to "wealth shame" you, everyone has different financial situations. But take it from those of us who have had the opportunity to try out all the different and new technology on these various cars it carries more credibility - you are just stuck in 1989 dude, wake up.

People are buying for the aggressive Looks and the brand and the family history more, I think, than the power and racing capabilities. I know I am buying on looks. I test drove the 5th gen when it came out but never really considered buying one. 6th gen is best looking Camaro since the 3rd gen.

BTW, neither the Boxster or M2 are serious race material either. Street cars they all are.

Wait!! is this a joke?? You are comparing a Boxster to M2 and and SS??? I understand if you buy cars for looks, but both M2 and SS are performance cars and just because you dont want to enjoy what they are meant for, doesnt mean "people" buy them for looks and brand.

I'm shocked and disappointed to tell the truth... This is just an m2. Now imagine the m4. Camaro has no chance :( I notice that the American cars are always fast in the american test videos, but when it comes to the real world they suck.
Take a look at the outgoing stock m5 vs much more powerful stock cts-v



Wtf???

[6spdhyperblue]

lets pay attention to any idiot with a camera.

[chevyboy01438]

Just to clarify, everyone is arguing that a V6 M2 is better than a v8 SS? Why not find someone with a turbo on their V6 Camaro and then race a M2? At least they would be on the same playing field.

[formoutofchaos]

that guy had a bad launch , the bmw had a jump and that driver sucks I think the SS numbers are better

In a straight line, the M4 can't outgun an SS so what makes one think the M2 can? For the tracks, I'm not sure but I would imagine they will be close.
