For muscle cars I feel naturally aspirated engines is where it's at. However, with the market changing the way it is… we may see turbocharging and direct-injection play a larger roll in every segment.

Visibility is one section where the Camaro falls apart. Especially with the bulge in the hood. Even visibility on the side windows and rear window is a bit poor.

How is the visibility from the drivers seat? the drivers seat looks low and the hood looks huge…and blind spots?

I was wondering how well this vehicle would do with a turbocharger, it seems that more auto makers are going with 4 & 6 cylinders with other performance upgrades to improve not only performance, mileage, and handling. I love V-8's, but it seems they are more than likely going to be short lived, just like in the mid to late 70's. Do you think this option would be a quality addition ????/

Well the Camaro SS we had did 0-60 mph in 4.6 seconds. The Camaro V6 does it in 6.1. Nonetheless, the V6 with a manual does have a LOT of pep to it. It has really nice pick up and for some reason (personally) I feel the V6 has a tighter steering feel than the V8 model, which I love.

Yes, people still tailgate, pull up next to us and everything. It's a bit crazy how much attention the Camaro attracts.

How does the car handle? For some reason, the car looks like it would have a lot of body roll…maybe that would be minimized with the big V8, but with the less powered V6, do you guys feel it more?

Also, how does the car compare to the SS? Does it feel slow or does it have a lot of “pep” to it?
