At least it still looks better, and I don't see 20 of them going to work everyday though.
Well my car purchase was going to be a daily driver. I don't much assume that the V6 "muscle cars" and legitimately muscle cars. They aren't. I know at that point I wanted the 5.0 which was not a daily driver friendly car.
And as for the Z showing in age, it is, but you also have to remember the new models coming out in 2017 and since the new models of 2009 you have to admit from 2009-2015 the Z had an amazing run.
If they go with the 3.0L TT it will be even more of a force to be reckon with on the track just because it will a lot easier to mod.
From what I understand the Camaro SS comes in a V8 only? although if it comes in a V6 it is understandable of the difference in exhaust tone I hear sometimes and also why I was able to beat some here and there.
