I don't understand why people are comparing bmws to chevys. GM seems to have finally got the camaro right to compete with the mustang.
And it looks like they didn't do any weight reduction on the camaro ss so the C6 can still be the faster car. |

The SS Camaro will KILL a Mustang in handling. The Camaro has a fully independant suspension. The Mustang has a crap rear end, made for the dragstrip.
And weight doesn't matter much IF the car is set-up correctly. The SS Camaro will handle very close to a BMW. |

No other car drives like a BMW. They are famous around the world for the way they drive. No Chevrolet will even come close to the same feel. Often imitated never duplicated. Not JMHO.

The SS LS3 Camaro will have the same weight distribution as the 135i 52/48% Heavier cars can be made to handle great. The Camaro SS will handle close to a BMW. |

^^Okay we'll see. I'm still sure it will be close. I HATE chevy but I'm not delusional. The Challenger was 4000lb. The Camaro should be in that neighborhood give or take 100lb. GM hasnt convinced me in the past that they can make a really heavy car handle incredibly well. I'm watching this one carefully.

because they are the exact same market, performance 2 door coupe priced similar I had to pick between a g37 coupe, a camaro, and the 135i, because I want 2 doors and a back seat, from 30-40,000 $ so they are the exact same market, as far as I'm concerned, I sure cross shopped both for quite a while |

Because a lot of us cross shop everything in the performance class. If I had felt like waiting another year for a new car I would have seriously considering one for my GTO replacement. I choose the GTO over an M3 a few years earlier. There aren't that many cars in the 2 door RWD sports coupe market, so everything gets lumped in together. |

hmmm...
I have a few friends wanting to race my 135i when i get it tuned with the performance parts i have. My friends cars: LS1 Vette, 350Z and a Mustang Shelby id like a Camero SS LS3 and Dodge Challenger SRT-8 to be part of the race straight and on the track. I think itll be a nice race all together being im both a muslce and import fan.

The SS LS3 Camaro WILL be awesome. I have decided to get one instead of the 135i. I am too worried about fuel pumps, limp mode, turbo lag, etc with the 135i. |
