Its hard to even but an exotic car when American provides you more bang for your buck. I'm looking getting a Lamborghini huracan and the price is hard to justify vs a Z06 or ZR1.



Really? The GT3RS is lighter and has more power. I'm not trying to be funny but I couldn't imagine taking an SS 1LE to a track over a GT3RS. Plus the GT3RS is so fun going through the gears up to 8600 rpms. If you could explain a little further I would instead to know your thinking there. Do you feel the SS 1LE handles better than your GT3RS?

Most people with the cash to even consider a Lamborghini wouldn't even mention the word Camaro or Corvette for that matter regardless of performance. Mostly, it's about "yup, I can own a Lamborghini..."

Good for you that you don't care too much about the image and just want a good car regardless of the price or manufacturer.

Here's an idea, buy both a ZO6 and a ZR1 and still have cash leftover for a Camaro. ;-)

Not far off? I'm no track expert, but almost 3 1/2 seconds is HUGE.

If you look at one of the previous post that I posted you would see that the gearing on the Camaro 6 speed manual is the reason for that. In other words when Motor Trend did that mile run it was a test that the Mustang was going to win due to gearing. The Camaros 4th gear is 1:1 while the Mustang doesn't get to 1:1 until the fifth gear.

It impresses me each time I drive it...
