Wow! The looks and specs are more like what I thought the Z/28 would be.
 

 

Not my cup of tea but it is a good time in history to be a car guy.
Ford, GM, Dodge and several imports are producing some powerful, fast cars these days.
Race technology is being incorporated into the production cars, not just fast but they handle well too.
Prices are a bit high, but what is cheap these days...

I am so in lust with the Viper ACR.  
 
I like the the new look on the Camaro.  Not enough to jump the fence, but enough.  
 
And Bill hit the nail.  Now is a great time to be a gear head.  Regardless of what badge you prefer, the performance numbers being turned lose on the street are impressive.  Even better, if you're in the mood to upgrade a little, all the marques offer "low end" V8 cars that respond really well to a little bit of boost.

The Viper ACR is quite a machine. Too bad Dodge is dropping the Viper.
 
It really is a great time to be a gear head, even for Mustang loyalist.

With camaro's easily stretching into the $60k+ range, it dont see the worth.

If you want to "feel" speed, you can actually feel the wind at 190mph... and save around 50,000. But you actually have to want to "feel" the need for speed, rather than being walled off.

 
For sure it will be in the $60k range at the least, hopefully not in the $70k range. Motor Trend predicts $66k on the price. For the performance of this car, there isn't a car on the market that can match it's performance value. You may not see the value, but plenty of others will. When Chevy launched the 2014 Camaro Z/28 at $75k, they were sold out before they even hit the street. Hopefully Chevy pumps out enough of them to avoid ADM.
 
No thanks on the street bikes. Just too dangerous as people don't pay enough attention to them. You can most definitely feel the speed in a car. I've had plenty of adrenalyn rushes in cars I have owned.

65,000.00 might be optimistic because you know the dealers are going to play their little money grubbing game.  
 
I personally would never drop the extra cash for the special badge cars.  ZL1, GT350, Hellcat, etc.  As you said, too much money.   Instead; if I were to get the Chevy, I would pick up a nicely outfitted Camaro SS, replace the suspension, add boost and now have a car that out performs the ZL1 but still costs less.   And watch out, If done properly, those cars can be a challenge to motorcycles on both turns and straights.  Granted, even taking that route,  the cars are still coming in at bare minimum 20k more than the bike.
 
The one advantage that I can see to the badge cars is that they are built in limited numbers and hold their value much better than the others.  

Looks like a Mustang got Rice'd! Whats wrong with clean linesand simple sexy curves?

A sport touring bike sits and handles handles different than the racing style sport bikes, and that guy never leans off bike completely to corner.. that is how an average rider would be..

this is how a car should play right here, and this is exciting to watch.



Sorry, I just realized I am changing the subject of the thread, and I apologize. Back on topic.

I hope it helps sales. All the talk about the sales will come, never panned out. I really think Chevy shot themselves in the foot staying with to similar of a look with the car...

Not only challenge them is the straights, but corners too. 
 

Damn nice vid there man! That got my blood pumping! I have an old split tail Stingray and got my ass smoked by one of those Zs b\4. He was just like gone, I'm glad I didn't get to see him after that #HumblePie

The Mustang is getting smashed in performance by the Camaro. The regular ZL1 beats the GT350R, the ZL1 1LE is going to embarrass Ford even more lol.

It is awesome too! Love the back and forth all three are doing.
 
BTW, I keep forgetting to ask. What do you own today for vehicles?

Still have my Porsche Boxster S.

Time for you to buy a camaro already since you're always talking about them.

 
No it's not, love my Porsche, it's not going anywhere. I am very impressed with the Camaro line up and will continue talk about them.
 

There is a good write up in this months Hot Rod mag., it's the May issue...

I went to the grocery store a couple days ago and they didn't have Hot Rod. Either it sold out or they don't carry Hot Rod anymore, I've always seen Hot Rod in the mag isle.
 
Here is a vid of the ZL1 1LE in red.

              Hate to be different here, but I've always preferred the Trans Am.      =)

I have to agree with you on that one.
The Firebird/TA always looked better than the Camaro did.
