They won't be able too, they're going to have to battle the cars they were intended to battle. Other 6's.

Dont sweat it, once the terrain gets rough the new Z truck will zip right past that dumb Sports car called the Camaro. Four-wheel drive and knobby 36 inch tirez baby!! Not to mention seating for 5!! Eat that, Camaro!!!

Doesn't Nissan already make a chunky, lumbering, 2+2 "sports coupe" that already stomps these pony cars?

But at the price of 2 SS's and one 4 banger.

Yeah, for twice the price. And for twice the price, it should.

You get what you pay for!

In all seriousness I do kinda like the new Mustang and Camaro, but just for me personally contemplating buying an American (or more so a European) car gives me the heebie jeebies. The only possible exception would be the Corvette, but I have passed on that twice already. It may be irrational, and the Z hasn't been an exemplar of reliability and quality for me. Maybe I will go for the FT-1 (Supra) if Toyota ever decides to produce it.

With that being said I am looking at Chevy pickups right now, but I am nervous...

While I wait and how things have been going, my Z will probably end up costing me the same as low-end Porsche.

We drove every cross over under 45K and my wife fell for the Rogue. To be honest it's not as sporty or fun as the Audi was, but when she drives she's getting close to 36 MPG. That still blows my mind for a cross over.

Latest look at 2017 ZL1 prototype, with better look at special hood – Camaro6 – 6th generation 2016 Camaro forums, news, reviews, and more.

They're already working on the SUPED UP series. Gotta love murica for not sleeping on performance.

that hood is a giant shaker hood. looks pretty good even though it's camo'd up lol

if it's that rumored TT V8 they supposedly sent out to be dyno tested and dropped 800HP on 9lbs of boost i'll take one now please. thank you.

so I see a 6/4 piston caliper set-up
many coolers behind the grill I would assume tranny, maybe dff, oil, and possibly intercooler for the boosted set-up
hood is sexy, the baby wing is sexy, overall I dig it.

also if no one else caught it theres a sticker set on the right rear quarter that blends in that say "PWR 646" I assume this has the Z06 engine in it and will be the ZL1

EDIT: looked close it says PWR < 6.46 that could be power to weight? im now confusing myself lol

That Camaro suspension is taut like a mutha... Wow...
You basically don't need an aftermarket suspension. Lowering springs n alignment.
