zr1 is actually nice inside. dash and doors are all wrapped in leather with some nice grey stitching. only thing lacking is the steering wheel, but you can order some nice swede wrapped ones that are much nicer then stock from gm.

I'm glad I'm not only one realizing this. I mean I love muscle cars, I love that their about bucking the trend of paying six figures for hp/tq and putting that power into everyones hands. But today's muscle cars don't really buck the trend anymore. Instead they just keep raising in price. :(

I think it is very good to state--as you do--what your intention/focus is for evaluating the car.

"The weather forecast is perfect." You obviously are not in New England. Lol.

Remember Steve, hard plastics are to be expected. Its a camero, not a Corvette

[rdaffon]

I wonder how many Mustangs are traded in within the first couple of years. Only using "higher sales volume" to reflect what people like is not a sound basis. I'd like to factor in things like ownership surveys, resale values, cost of ownership, etc. I'm neither a Chevy or Ford person but it looks like the best iterations of both the Mustang and Camaro are the Boss and this ZL1.

I'm picking mine up in automatic next week. Don't agree with my choice in transmission? Too bad. Not your car, not your choice to make. Enjoy my dust. :)

a camaro with touchsreen nav? never thought that would happen

[carmel]

Steve; is there a reason why some autos go faster than manuals?

[nismofury]

Wonder how many of these they will sell with gas prices at an all time high.

[vettelover]

I like the newer mustangs better & what you say is true.The camaro may be much better when it switches to the smaller platform saving weight & making it smaller.The camaro is a huge car.The interior of the camaro isn't that nice in my opinion although the heads-up display is nice.This is coming from a previous camaro owner(1998 z28)

[silverbullet]

gr8 video but how did you managed a burnout with an automatic trans??? just curious...

[rdsii]

65 grand is far from the common mans reach, with that said i totally agree with the concept of what you are saying. With the this model being the exception. the Camaro is blue collar American muscle.

[avro]

I wouldn't buy an V6 or SS coupe. Not for power reasons though. The ZL1 vert is hands down the best looking 5th gen. Top down it looks less chunky and visbility is better. That is has a lot of power is great but the suspension upgrades are the best. Ford has nothing like GM's MRC setup.

[TheBazerara]

Steve ..Do you feel the difference while driving Camaro ss and zl1
Because I've experienced ss and I've had a very nice feeling and I really want to experience zl1

[snailman]

Hey Steve mind i ask which is your personal favourite the GT500 Mustang, Camaro Zl1, Challenger 392 or the charger 392.

[jonajs]

Hey Steve you don't have the 2012/2013 Impala on your list, do you?

[olivierdodge]

steve you choice camaro or challenger ?

[Moreoff]

I love when my neighbors roll their eyes, and cover their ears! LOL

[saeed]

Looked the same since 2008? The camaro started production as a MY2010.
