Uhhh I need some kleenex please... my keyboard is a mess
Edit: And is it me... or does it seem like they really aren't pushing it that hard? Like coming out of the corners it doesn't seem like they are going WOT.

Thats what it sounds like to me too. I mean it sounds less loud than when the car accelerates at the 1 minute mark in the video. But I don't blame the guy for not going WOT on every turn he's testing an unproven car's limits for the first time on the track

I am very pissed they showed that Porsche passing it. That should not have been shown. And, I have to agree...it sounds horrid.

2.) That was an older convertable 911, a stock 1LE 4th gen could whipe the floor with that. A 5th gen with 400hp, IRS, good brakes, and n-ring tuned suspension would walk away from it like it was in reverse.
3.) The Camaro driver could not be pushing it (they are tuning).

It could walk it in a straight line, but not on the Nurburgring. Sorry to throw a wrench in your "LSX > All" theory. Only thing to beat Porsche around it's own track so far has been the new GT-R. When I see ANY Camaro do that, I'll agree with you. To the price point: It will be that cheap for a base V8 if they want the Camaro to be anything other than a huge flop, like the GTO was.
