bonafied touring car

I have long thought this 6th gen Camaro is more than a straight line muscle car and also different than a sports car. That kinda leaves it in the Grand Touring class.

After completing a round trip from my home north of Dallas, Tx to Nashville, Tn and back it is now cemented in my mind, at least, this is an American Touring Car.

Raining like mad in Arkansas the car was rock steady on the interstate. In the hills of Tennessee in 6th gear, cruise control set to 70 up and down, no engine lag, no fading down on the speed to 69, 68, 67 mph. Accelerate up a 10% incline to beat an 18 wheeler to single lane merge was as easy as twitching my right foot.

Cruise through lower Broadway amidst the honky-tonks with the top down and my cousin made the comment how different and exciting it was compared to her mini- van and family sedan.

All that and comfortable seats. The car delivered.

Yes the CA6 Camaro is a great, comfortable sports/touring car with old school muscle. As for my SS I feel the same way except you cannot see out of it, so it detracts from the enjoyment of the drive. You solved that by buying the one with the roof chopped off! Smart buy. As for me I enjoy our Accord Touring V6 more on long drives. But it feels so slow!

This is the only reason I even looked at a Gen 6 Camaro. I have had muscle cars, many sports cars. I want an all around GT class car. Reading all the comparisons with M4 and Car of the Year awards got me to actually look into the engineering of why. The Alpha platform and LT1 massive torque curve, all the coolers, Tremec transmission, 3.73 gears equals very comparable to C7 Corvette performance. Just look at supercar type numbers from not so long ago and see how this car stacks up.

I love the capabilities of this car
