The Official Sixth Gen Camaro Thread!

[Speed_Racer]

I saw two 2016s w/ Michigan plates on the way to work this morning. I'm not a fan of the current Mustang's looks, the Camaro looks much much better in comparison.

And that's my $0.02

Got my December 2015 C&D finally.

C&D's goofy ass girl-based rating system is ridiculous.

Does that mean they liked the Mustang better...?

[12,000 RPM]

No, the SS won handily. Article was pretty poorly written and too short though IMO. C&D in general has been a little meh the last few months

Few months?  C&D has been pretty meh for years.

Camaro won the performance categories handily.  Mustang won the non-performance categories (ergonomics, comfort, price, etc) pretty handily.  In the end they were only separated by 2 points.  Mustang was the better GT car, Camaro was the better "sports" car and their pick overall.

"See the mustang and camaro go double chin to double chin in this months feature comparison!!!"

In next months issue we cover how to repair cracked asphalt after our pony car comparison."

No, that was just a general complaint - the rating system has always been goofy if not painful, esp. in the weighting for performance cars. C&D is just not very good these days, point system as well as writing.

[Gotta-Qik-C7]

Although it's still a better read than MT Ezra Dyer is the lone bright spot in C&D now a days.....

Why what's this? A link to someone's opinion, how factual.

That's the 4th or 5th review I've read that praised the new Camaro.

[CaminoRacer]

Is it too soon for rental companies to have any of these?

[GoCougs]

Whoa, to say the Camaro cleaned up at M/T's Car of the Year award is an understatement in the extreme...

lol, it's FBC. There's so much going on there it's hard to address - but in short, he can't help but hate the Camaro, he has to in fact.

[Cookie Monster]

The fact that the Camaro still has such a little amount of glass makes me not take it seriously. Just look at that pic of the Camaro and BMW side profiles. Jesus.

[CaminoRacer]

Chopped tops have been cool for 60+ years.

Other than the way it looks, and it's curb weight, I really don't have any other issues with this car. You seem to think that I'm some sort of short sighted narrow visioned car fan(like yourself). Nothing could be further.

Curb weight dropped 300+ pounds with the new platform... it's now lighter than the Mustang. That being said, driving my brother's 2010 SS made me hate the Camaro. I'm impressed with this new one, but I'd never buy one.

[SVT666]

Other than the styling and the lack of glass, it sounds like a helluva car.

So what exactly are you guys doing in your cars that this is such a problem?

[FlatBlackCaddy]

I hear the next gen camaro is just going to have a I pad mounted in front of the driver with a camera on the front of the car. No glass whatsoever.

Going to look sweeeeeet.

I don't see a Curb weight listed on GM's site for the 2016, just TBD under that column on the spec sheet.

If it's over 3500 it's too much IMO. Ideally i'd prefer it around 3400(both the mustang and the camaro).

Driving on roads with traffic lights mounted overhead.  Driving in parking lots with low-lying obstacles, like islands with curbs.  Even backing out of a parking space seems like it would require a small leap of faith since you can't see a damned thing out the back or out the rear quarters.  And autocross, where you have to negotiate a course around low-lying obstacles (traffic cones) without hitting them.

Sounds perfectly reasonable, hence why GM fails to grasp such a concept.

[FlatBlackCaddy]

One thing that the camaro did do, was make it possible for someone, somewhere, who drives a lotus esprit to make the comment that visibility is "better than some newer cars".

Who'd have ever thought.

[Payman]

The 2010 Camaro is the worst car I've eve driven for visibility. It's not even something you're aware of in most cars, but you do notice right away in this car. I imagine the new one is no better.

Just shutup and spend 40K on a car that you can't see out of.

God damn anti GM trolls. What the hell do you want, visibility. It's a god damn car, why do you need to see where you are going. Absolutely ridiculous, damn kids.

The V6 is 3400lbs
