I'm not nearly as sold on the Camaro, but the roads are narrow and congested here. The size of that thing and the terrible visibility just don't make it a sensible option. If I lived in some parts of the southwest those considerations wouldn't be as a big a deal. I think most of the reviewers have said the Camaro is a good chassis, but it's big and it feels big.

At the end of the day, they could offer a 900hp Miata and a 200hp Miata for the same price, and I'd probably go with the 200hp version. I just don't have a place to use that power, and eventually I'd just get myself in trouble trying to find a way to use it.

Have you actually read the in depth reviews of the 2015 Stangs? Hell even Matt Farrah chose a Fiesta ST over the Turbo Stang. Please look up the video and he will tell you that the car is numb, it packed on more weight, but that because of the IRS suspension it rides more compliant. These things will never feel like a "TRUE" sports car. A slightly sharper GT is what you have in these cars.
