As a (former) Camaro enthusiast, I hafta say that the 5th gen Camaro is the biggest letdown since they stopped building the 4th gen in 2002.

Every generation of Camaro got sleeker than the last, until the brick-mobile 5th gen came out. The 3rd gen IROC-Z and 4th gen SS had drag coefficients of .34, whereas the new Camaro is .35. And what a pig it is! The 3rd gen IROC-Z and the 4th gen SS weighed around 3,3-3,400lbs depending on transmission/options; the new SS weighs nearly 3,900lbs! The only things that have gotten better about the car are the engine and independent rear suspension. Driving one is like peering out of a battletank. There is no visibility!

Conclusion:
