Ferrari Mailing List: Re: NFC: Camaro and Fat cars

[LtWacko (ltwacko]

EVERYONE noticed!  Most if not all of the reviews stated Chevy would screw up 
the production version.  My friends and I joked they probably had a production 
version ready that was a far cry from the concept version and had to "re-tool" 
due to the reaming of possibly screwing up....  LOL  

Anyway, I love the look too but I think it is a little "fat" along with the 
Challenger.

Someone commented on the size of today's cars and that it's no wonder no one 
can build a car that weighs less than 3500 lbs.  I mean if you are going to 
build an Accord sized Civic, call it an Accord.  A "mid-sized" Hyundai with the 
interior room of a BMW 7-series.  I don't need my Camry to out accelerate an 
"antique" Ferrari (that's for you Rick!)  Bimmerphiles love the E30 but the 
closest thing is a pig of a 1-series.  Great car but BMW lost it's way but I'm 
glad they are making money.  Maybe the new MPG regs from the EPA will give us 
small, nimble cars again with "peppy" motors.  I wouldn't mind a "modern" sub 
3000 pound car that is desirable like BMW's, Porsches and Ferrari's of yore 
that don't cost more than my house.

Am I the only one who feels like GM has been teasing us with this car for 
years.  Seems like its taken a heck of a long time for it to finally make 
the jump from the rags to the road.
