Camaro SS with 1LE performance package!
This car cost about the same as my previous Subaru STi, just under $40k with some negotiation. However, it has 150 more hp, gets better fuel economy, and it turns, stops and accelerates much faster. I have some issues with my STi, not the least of which is the fact Subaru just lost a class action lawsuit wrt the 2.5L turbo motor in the pre '15 WRX and all STis.
I never thought I'd ever own a Camaro, but the '16 model year introduced a new Camaro built on the excellent Alpha platform the Caddy ATS-V uses, and it's one of the best in the world. Combined with the LT1 V8 producing 455hp and tq it makes it to 60 in the low 4s range and 1/4 mile in the low 12s range. The suspension based on GM's magnetic ride control, which started in Vettes and also made it's way into Ferraris, is amazing. With 285/30/20 front and 305/30/20 rear Goodyear Supercar tires it produces over 1g of lateral grip and 60-0 stopping distances well under 100 ft.
Other cool features include multiple settings for suspension, steering and exhaust, a heads-up display, launch control and a no-lift-to-shift 6sp manual transmission.
I have an Uncle with a M4 and I'll take my Camaro over his M4, it's that good. The Germans have some catching up to do... with a Camaro! Who would've thought...
I just picked up the car on Monday and am having the paint polished then I'm installing a clear-bra kit, some splash/rock guards, wheel locks, floor liners, etc... pics are not mine but I'll post a few once I get done with the exterior.
