The M3 CSL is a fun car to drive that wouldn't be hard to live with as a daily driver, even in my situation I think it would be difficult to live with an Atom as my only car.

sold my 2000 Z28 five yrs. ago and will probably end up buying a 2010-2011. My biggest concern is that after having a TSX, I will sit in a new ccamaro just to see crappy materials, shod body lines but a sexy V8.

Nice lines. But the taillights need some work.

I prefer the Z28 / Firebird look. Now that had 'raceme' written all over it.

Probably not much smaller than the Dodge Challenger (which is based on a 300C/Charger chassis!)- my guess is that these new "ponycars" are going to weigh at least 3800 lbs each and require 400 horses just to get up the on-ramps. The V8 Pontiac G8 weighs 4000 lbs, as does the DI V6 CTS.
I wonder if the Camaro is any faster on the course than the G37, 335i or 350Z.

Probably a base v8 model will be in the mid 20's to compete with the stang.

That was my first reaction, too. Same reaction I got when I first saw the Charger. It looks like a human-sized Hotwheels car to me. Those wheels look huge. It's a bit too angluar for my tastes, almost CTS-ish looking. At the very least there will be a bunch of rednecks happy their Cah-mer-ah is back in production.

Why do I feel like Water-S after writing that?

I freaking love the RS4, that car would be my ideal car for the Colorado winter, not that I would mind having an IS-F for a backup.

I'm not really into drag racing, but I'm impressed the tires stuck so well.
