GM is way behind the automotive curve, the vette is the only thing that has some performance (but it's still claimed to be a bit vague and lacking in feel at the edge) By the time the new Camaro is actually available nobody will give a damn about it, the car is still at least 4 years out.....
at least ford benchmarks things (GT) so they actually can compete with the cars it's supposed to compete with.

Anything to keep justifying your jaded, nouveau riche preception. You can trash modern American muscle cars and nod your head at all the positive reviews those cars may recieve(there are many, guess you haven't read them, or maybe you won't acknowledge that either), but you can't deny in actuality that the new, modern American car is on par w/ much of the competition, even their German competitors. Sure they don't have the eye catching style or the prestige of their foreign brethern, doesn't make them incapable of trouncing the competition on one or many crucial levels. Heck, the only reason you don't hear as much blabbing about the CTS-V is for the simple fact that it doesn't have as much street cred like what you find w/ the M3. It probably handles just as well, goes faster, and gives you plenty of bang for the buck. Not to mention it's nicely packaged and quite reliable if freinds and family are anything to go by. So keep spending big money on the cars w/ the big names, and guys like me will shop for the best performance on the market and get the most out of the ownership experience because we followed our hearts and not grandiose public preception. Plus we'll have some extra cash lying around.
Cheers,
