I have always liked these old school Camaro’s, but figured they wouldn’t be the best at racing. However, once tuning was applied it is a lot of fun to drive. It isn’t as crazy as you would have thought it would be. I assumed it would spin the tail out at every chance it could, and just be way too much power to be able to put down on the track, but no. Actually, it is quite civilized to drive. However, it has a touch of oversteer if you are really pushing it, but it is easy to control and I have never felt it was enough to send me into the wall. Of course, a car that looks great and is easy to drive is a real plus in my books.
Also, it doesn’t feel that fast when driving, but your times will be fairly quick. It doesn’t weigh that much, which was another shocker to me, but I do wish it had a 6-speed transmission. One more gear would of allowed it to shift a tiny bit quicker making it an even better car. Overall, I really enjoyed driving this car and tested it on various tracks, and it performed well everywhere.
