I drove on a Friday afternoon last year at the Chevy Rev-It Up in Englishtown, NJ. There were 13,000 competitors across U.S. The winner got a 2007 C6 Corvette as a prize and a Skip Barber driving school (a friend of mine).
The 10 best times at an autoX course with a Chevy Cobalt qualified for the Shoot-out in a Chevy Corvette C6. I barely made it among over 1,000 drivers, and qualified 7th or 8th. We ran the Shoot-out in the Corvette and I won.
Well, my best time in two laps with the Cobalt was faster than my best time in two laps with the Corvette.
I could never beat a stock GT3 with a stock Cobalt at an autoX. There are better cars than a C6 for $50k, new and used.

Nothing. I ran on Friday, and they held another event on Saturday, the winner on Saturday got more points than the winner on Friday (me) so he won the city. This is the guy that won the Corvette, we are friends.
GM was the biggest sponsor behind Rev-It Up, they shut it down for this year. I hope they bring it back next year.
I was shocked when I could not get better times than the Cobalt SS (old 2.4 170hp Coupe), and I wasn't the fastest in the Cobalt.

^ stylistically i think it's a good interpretation of the old car.
i know nothing of it's drivetrain and mechanicals.

New Camaro:
should be a great little Grand Tourer for the money.
GM's LS engine along with independant rear suspension should be a nice combo in a USA built GT car.
Chevrolet drivetrain should be ready and willing to take abuse as always.
Probably heavy, and not much for the track, it will make for a nice DD for those who enjoyed the 1969 model.
Like the mustang and challenger, it will be a new generation muscle car.
If they opt to offer a limited build high horse LS engine to produce the same hp as a zo6 or ZR1 corvette i could be tempted to add one to the stable.........
black with white rs stripes... convertible

I agree on the comments on the Camaro. I still haven't seen it in person, but I am tempted to buy one. It seems like a bargain and the best comparing it to the Mustang or Challenger.

As they say, never argue with someone who is ignorant. They will bring you down to their level and beat you with experience. The Old Guy is the poster child for ignorance. As you can see by the Guy who finds it necessary to belittle Corvette, 964, and 914 owners since they seem to be well below his high brow stature. Old Guy, I welcome your attacks but I would appreciate if you would not offend other members of this community. You may find a 914 and 964 to be an inferior car for inferior individuals but I do not. Next time please put more thought into your posts, or at least try (this may be a herculean task for you) to be more mature.
