If you buy that, you can never make fun of the STI's wing again.

650 HP oohrah! That should be fun to drive. The wing has to go, has to. Pictures on a race track? Nah that's no sports car but a damn fun car. Just to ***** the Zoo - if Chevy keeps this up they will be able to run with the Dodges

I assume I am being trolled here, but this chevy will leave the dodge for dead as soon as there is a turn in the road.

Dodge has made it pretty clear they don't care about being fast in corners they are going for straight line speed. Ford and GM are trying to compete with the European manufactures in high performance "fun to drive" cars. There is this feeling that no American car can turn and they want to change that perception. I think we will continue to see Ford and GM going head to head with Europe and Dodge off in a corner doing their own thing.

It apparently did a 7:16 around the Nordschleife, with a manual transmission.

I'm a GM guy. I rarely complain about their styling (although I know that is where most people have an issue with GM, square wheel-wells ya ya haha) but this picture has me worried. Why does that rear quarter panel look so weird? I've loved every iteration of the camaro since they brought it back, gets better every time IMO. But the back tire look really small for some reason, lots of panel between the arch and the deck. I can live with the Toyota Camry center piece in the front bumper, but this particular picture has that rear quarter panel looking off to me.

Wheel arches being of different heights/sizes isn't uncommon. That might be some of an explanation for the difference, which is probably more pronounced/noticeable in the picture since that side of the car is compressed because of the turn and likely accelerating out.

BMW has different height for the arches between front and rear.
