Maybe someone should let the dodge boys know the old drag strip adage "spinning isn't winning".
Spinning tires with brute power has always been fun. Brake stand spins are silly though because it require no power.

Most cars can do burnouts regardless of power. That isn't impressive to me at all. I used to do clutch dump burnouts in my 1986 carb'd crx 20 years ago, and I think it had 90 horsepower. I did it as a joke though.

I think the camaro commercial they never aired on TV would've sold more cars. Aggressive, badass, and performance oriented.

Sorry probably should've posted the commercial. It's obviously too long for a TV ad but they could've shortened it.

seems like an opportunity for some creative folks around here to produce some ads and pitch them to Chevy.

So why not come up with a badass commercial showing a Camaro dominating a track rather than the weak ass "real people" commercials making false reliability claims utilizing select results from their own surveys. Ford doesn't advertise the Mustang much but they don't need to, it outsells Camaro and Challenger continuously. Chevrolet can't follow suit and assume the Camaro will sell itself by reputation like that unless they like staying in 3rd place.

Most cars can't do burnout unless doing a brake stand burnout or revving it a popping the clutch. Few cars can do it with brute force.
