Interesting to hear from a driver who owns both a Cayman and Camaro. Thanks!

Camaro's center of gravity is at least 2 inches higher, weight is at least 500 lbs more, drag coefficient is .35 vs .27 of a twin. But it still handles equally well with Cayman and twins. Porsche, Toyota, and Subaru might have wasted their time with such optimizations, apparently. But those design goals give the sports car its characteristic look which I like and appreciate. Camaro doesn't have those design characteristics. I don't know how Chevy achieved that handling but the design is not appealing to me - it doesn't pass my "sports car" snobbery.
