My former manager lives in Detroit and his next door neighbor is the Chief Engineer for the Camaro at Chevrolet. His neighbor brings home all the Camaro models well in advance of their availability to the rest of us. I haven't driven the z28 myself, but I have to say both the Mustang & Challenger impress me more than Camaros do. I've owned an 83 z28 and a 95 Trans Am so I'm not anti-GM, but the current Camaro just seems 'rough' & 'cheap' to me. I'd strongly suggest driving before buying as far as Camaros are concerned. Great looking car, just not up to the Mustang & Challenger ride & quality wise. Just my .02.
