ZL1 beats new GT500

If GM can do some handling magic with a lighter platform for the next-gen Camaro? I'll likely be keeping a very close eye on that as my next vehicle.

I'm not much of a GM guy (save for the Corvette) but if they do put it on the smaller, lighter platform and make it look good (inside especially) I'll take a look at it.

I hate how you have to take your eyes FAR off the road to glance at the gauges in a Camaro. I know it's nostalgic but still.

Completely agree on the gauges. Nostalgic and all, but worthless. That and the interior is less than exciting overall in the Camaro, not to mention the quality. Not that interior quality is a HUGE selling point to me, but it sure is noticeable...
