I'm jealous of those driving skills. But amazing that you can buy an $80k car and beat up on those exotics.

you beat me to it. a real man still rowing gears. imagine what it could do with the 10 speed auto/paddles. (which will not be available on this model) all for $5000 less than the outgoing Z28. (and with 150 more hp than it too) i cant find the curb weight listed for this thing anywhere. |

Rowing gears for sure, bad @ss. I thought it would hit a higher top speed on that last straight though. Seemed to rev out 5th and then not climb much in 6th. |

I don't understand the "real men shift gears" attitude. Real men use carbs not FI. Real men don't need power steering. Real men used bias ply tires. Real men used drum brakes. Real men didn't need roll cages. Technology advances for the better. Manual transmissions are old and slow compared to newer technologies. Embrace it don't hate it.

Without a doubt new automatics are faster which is why this guy laying this time in a manual is great.

| Re: Camaro Vs "The Ring" (faster than GTR, Z06, 911, 488, Zonda) I'm not sure I understand why you said I should get an autonomous car in response to what I said. When driving for fun manual is cool, but so is paddle shifting. Paddle shifting is faster. That's a fact. I'm man enough to admit a computer is faster and more accurate than me. Unfortunately for the vast majority of us, 95% or more of the time we spend in a car is not for fun. I'd love a self driving car for tedious drives like commutes to work, etc. |

A V8, front engine, RWD pony car showing the exotic euro trash and rice-a-roni racers how to get it done. |

I think the Eurotrash is doing OK. 7 minutes 12.7 seconds for the new Porsche 911 GT3. Last edited by Tossedman; 06-23-2017 at 11:18 PM. |

| Re: Camaro Vs "The Ring" (faster than GTR, Z06, 911, 488, Zonda) but we're not talking about your manhood, we're talking about the man who drove a 7:16 at the nurburging doing heel-toe and rowing gears in a brand new production CAMARO. is that not faster than a BUNCH of paddle shifted rigs times?
