Well, half-right at least...
That said, IMO that 2016 car drives like a budget Porsche Cayman while the 1999 car was a glorious tire-smoking muscle car. Ironically, I get slightly worse mileage out of the 2016 edition (22 vs 25 mpg).
- nightski 9y agoWhy would that be ironic? It has almost 1.5x the horsepower.
- DamnYuppie 9y agoPorsche's are more known for handling than straight line speed. So I am readying the OP's comment to mean the newer versions ride and handling are MUCH improved over its predecessor.
- brokenmachine 9y agoI read it as the 2016 car being a pussified dentist mobile while the older one was a "glorious tire-smoking muscle car". Even the use of the word "glorious" implies that he enjoyed the older one better. People don't buy Camaros for the handling, even if it may have been improved.

- DamnInteresting 9y agoHey, another member of the two-Camaro club! I had a 1996 Z28 automatic and a 2000 SS 6-speed. How do you like the 2016 (apart from its Cayman-like ride)?
- oneshot908 9y agoLove it to death! And I've driven both the current Challenger (didn't like) and the Mustang (more practical, but not as fun). I actively chose the Camaro over a Cayman because of the price difference and over a Corvette because of the blind spot indicators and better storage space.
