104 views and not a single comment? Wow.

I like the idea, but really this should be a Z/28.

And I'd still rather have a Boss 302.

Agreed I'd rather have a Boss 302, hell I'd rather have a GT, at least you can see out of a Mustang. The visibility from within the Camaro is laughable, and I think the Mustangs overall look better.

I recently saw a Camaro on the road. Not as big as I thought they were. Looked pretty tough IMO.

I also a new GT500 Mustang and that looked real tough too.

I'd be happy with either, I wonder how long the new muscle car era will last....

Funny as I thought the exact opposite. I have a Holden engineer living nearby and walking the dog once I passed a Camaro parked on the street and I remember my first thought was wow, it's far bigger then I realised.

I'd heard how "big and fat" they were. So I was expecting something a lot bigger than it was.

You must have approached it from its big, bulky, square ****.

Hmm..... I'd still pick the Laguna Seca over the ZL1. I'm biased.

Muscle cars are here to stay. They're in demand and will be in demand. Well, at least to me.

In semi-related news, I saw my first ZL1 on the street last week.

It's pretty subtle in black. I came up from behind it, and noticed it had a non-SS badge on the rear.

The Camaro is too big and blocky for my taste, and even though I haven't driven one, I've sat in them and the poor visibility is frightening.
