hotrod.comI really don't think it looks bad at all. Looks much more aggressive and now it'll drive more aggressively with the bump in horsepower and torque. My dad who is a GM at a Chevy store has already ordered two of these 2016's. Very excited for him to take one home.

I love the new Camaro look, I'm gonna have to test drive the 4-cyl when it hits the lots.

The 4-cylinders will be the last powertrain to show up at dealerships, it will be a few months.

Just talked to my dad. His first Camaro being built in the next few days is a lighter Blue Metalic with white leather and a white stripe down the center of the car. He'll have it in 3 weeks he said. I'll probably post it if I get some demand for it. Probably looks a lot better in person too. Some people didn't like the C7 before it came out and I think this is just happening again, the Camaro will look awesome in person.

I didn't even realize they had a white seat insert option! It's so cool that pony cars are getting more options again.

Yea they should be quick. I like though how the Camaro's four cylinder turbo has less horsepower and torque than the 6 cylinder though. It will make them two different cars for two different buyers, along with a good difference in speed. The Mustang 4 cylinder had nearly as much power and more torque I belive than the 6 cylinder. The 6 cylinder is cheaper I beleive too. I'm liking what Chevy is doing with the new Camaro so far.

Yeah, I really don't understand why people think it doesn't look good.

I think when one person says it, other people just agree for no reason and don't even think about creating their own original opinion.

Seriously... I think the front looks better, the car as a whole definitely looks like its shed weight, I just don't get it

They have no taste, that's why :P

Hmmm, this should be interesting... I how many 1/10's of a second this will chop off. Hopefully not close to my car

It'll probably eat an SRT8 in most kinds of race, unless yours is modded or is secretly a Hellcat. It's not as powerful, but it's way lighter.

Will the 29 hp and 35 lb-ft plus a 200 pound weight reduction really drop it down almost half a second though? It will definitely out handle an SRT8 but I doubt it will "eat" it on speed. Maybe be close or something. The 2015 hits 60 in 4.1-4.2 while the 2015 camaro 1LE does it in 4.5

About a tenth of a second for every hundred pounds. Not sure what the 29 horsepower would do, but it also depends on suspension setup and tires. Might just have nicer stuff from the showroom floor.

The 2016 official 0-60 for the auto is 4.0

According to Car and Driver, its 3.9.....pretty damn fast. Gonna need to start modding to keep up with these camaros

Prepare your anus, 2015 Mustang GT.
It looks like things are finally returning to normal
Psh. Ls1 cars have been picking on mustangs even the decade they weren't being made.
Pre 2011, sure.
Personally, in a car comparison I assume both cars are stock. Mods are just a competition of who has the deeper wallet.
If you want to compare mod vs mod, thats more of an engine comparison instead of the whole car.
Even stock for stock, ls1 v. 5.0 is going to be more or less a drivers race. Stock ls1s can dip into the high 12s with a good driver. I don't knelt exactly what it equates to, but I got mine with just a catback to 8.35 in the 1/8. Haven't seen many mustangs (save for 03-04 Cobras) do that quick with just a catback.
As it should be. Although I like both cars.
6G Camaro's will be faster; but fast doesn't fix ugly.
Every S550 short of the GT350 has a fat front end and lazy eyes.
Rather get a new GT and pay for mods than get the new camaro. Less powerful but looks a thousand times better.
The new Mustang is not exactly easy on the eyes. It's starting to look like s shapeless blob with bulges in the back.
