It's all about throttle modulation.  
 
Being a Mustang owner, I should be obligated to dislike the new Camaro, but I don't.   And like the other big power cars, Im sure the HP has been underrated.
 
Add a new pulley, tune and injectors, you could probably easily see that 650 at the wheels.

Not interested in a car that I can only legally use 10% of the performance on.

OK is looks hot and its fast
check & double check
 
What is the visibility with the roof line and C pillars ?
 
Is it comfortable on a 500 mile trip or just a couple minute cruise for ice cream ?

True, at least if you want to keep your license and sleep in your own bed and not the crow bar motel.  Sorry boss, looks like I'm going to have to take about 6 months off.
 
Track days would be fun; but, your insurance stops right before the front wheel touches the track.

But it's so nice knowing that the other 90% is there.    
 
The newer Camaros are noted for horrible visibility due to seating positing and windshield rake.  
 
Can't speak for the ride, but it has the magnetic suspension, so there would be some adjustability in the ride.  Of course, were it me, that suspension would be the first thing to go replaced by coil overs or something similar to what I have in my car.  The last place I wan't electronics is in my suspension.

You can get the engine to put in another vehicle for only $15,199.

Different strokes for different folks on that one. That's over 1/3 the price of the ZL1. Personally I would rather have the whole car fine tuned with a full warranty for less then 2/3's more. What an awesome machine!

Whole car would be nice, but just think what kind of sleeper you could make with that engine and transmission.
