In the latest issue of Motor Trend, the Camaro SS was pitted against the new Mustang and Challenger R/T. The Camaro came out on top, and is simply beastly.

In my own comparison, it's also noteworth that it is "tested" to be identical in 0-60 as the new 2010 Mustang GT500 (4.7sec vs. 4.7sec). 1/4mi was 13.0@111mph vs. 12.7@118mph ... Imagine if they had indeed made a Z/28

Braking was 105ft Camaro SS vs 109ft GT500.

We're talking about a $31,490 "as tested' Camaro SS vs. a $50,895 "as tested" GT500.

All cars REFUSED to be tested with the new Hyndai.

I skimmed that article yesterday too. It is interesting that their braking distances are shorter than most Vette tests have been. Can't help but wonder why or if it's really possible.

I sat in a new V6 1LT Caramo yesterday. Was pretty good. I want one. They were asking $37K which was MSRP + $10K. Show stopper.

calmtgguy

Were you at Courtesy in the yellow or red one?

LS WON

This is the battle of the V-6 cars. The Camaro is using the same motor as the CAD CTS. I don't see how it can be named car of the year as it just came out and there is no history. Maybe a Challenger is more like it.

bimmerborn

No, Gilroy's Chevrolet Cad has a black one.
Courtesy has 2 ? It is not on their website. I will check them out. I assume they want over MSRP too.

I wouldn't read too much into a Motor Trend article as they generally give the nod to anything that is new. Ever notice that their M/T Car or Truck of the Year awards tend to go to whatever was released last.

BUT maybe they're trying to help out GM!!!!

bimmerborn

Specially after M/T called GT-R the car of the year! (*)


(*) Motor Trend claims one of the criteria for picking the car of the year is weather it does or does not do what the Engineers designed it for. Well does GT-R do it? For how long?

ChefMark

I sat in one yesterday, it seemed a bit clunky and your field of vision was not very good. If remember the old Camaro smaller and lighter this seemed to heavy almost like a Chrysler 300.

I can't wait to see one in the states when I return. Sure they aren't much of a comparison to the Vette but hey, it's a beautiful car and shows ford how to do it!

There's a head to head comparison of the V6 Camaro and V6 Hyundai Genesis in the June edition of Car and Driver. The Hyundai won on performance but the Camaro came out on top due to fewer flaws.

Rubber Ducky

Got an in-person look at the new Camaro in a dealer's showroom last week. That is one ugly car — makes the Aztek look stylish. YMMV.

Fighter Vette

As C-INRED said, the cover story of the June issue of Car and Driver is the V6 Camaro vs the V6 Genesis. The Camaro won

I believe the 'Maro will have a very good following but the timing is pretty bad right now. The Hyundai is likely cheaper and will appeal to the ricer mod crowd. I really like the Camaro but I think GM will struggle with low sales.

I'll be ordering an SS in a couple months to keep my Z06 in some chevrolet built company in the garage.

Vinnie T

Especially if the dealers tack on $5-$10K to the sticker.

And also which company pays them the most money.
