I would say it is, or was, in direct competition. Just the same as the Ford Lightening SVT is, or was, in direct competition with the mustang. Both in two different markets, more or less in two different price ranges, but yet both can be made more powerful then the other. They each just offer di

Not gonna argue that the LS1 Camaros & T/A's aren't great cars. But I dont think that a 30-35K car is in competion with one selling for 45-50K. You are looking at 2 different markets. I believe that the Camaro died because GM just didn't want to make the investment. It was time & they didn

Whoa whoa whoa… I have a 01 Camaro SS and it beats any same year or earlier ‘stock’ car including the corvette, GT, and cobra.  With a low rating of 335 hp stock and after my SLP upgrades pushing it to just about 420 (RW) I am going up against the current cars as well.  The explanation that

The new mustang sure does look good and Ford and Chrysler have been doing a pretty good job for us guys that like the old stuff or "retro look".  At work we use Ford trucks and vans but I got a chance to buy a Chevy van this year and boy am I dissappointed.  I think my 69 Chevelle has more metal

Well, for the longest time the only decent GM vehicles were full sized cars and trucks. Even the Camaros and Corvettes were of questionable quality. As much as I was brought up to dislike ford (little 'f' to honor my father) I have been quite impressed with the new Mustangs, and god do I secret

The GTO is certainly a performance-minded RWD platform.  It runs low 14s.  So is the Caddy CTS-V, and I believe these are two distinct chassis.  It might take a couple more years, but I believe we’ll start seeing more RWD stuff from GM.  The Pontiac Solstice has allegedly been green-lighted

They've abandoned the boat and seem to be taking a rusted girls schwinn. I can't believe the super crappy decisions that have come from GM in the last 10 years.
