Glad to see that all three pony cars are selling in relatively decent numbers.
That Camaro gamble that GM took really paid off too. When we'd first heard that they were building/reinventing a new one I figured it might do 'ok' in the marketplace but never dreamed that it would sell this well for such a continuous period of time like it has.
Kudos to GM/Chevrolet for making it happen.

Haters gonna hate. The ls3 is a superior motor when compared to the 5.0. Nuff said.

Fantastic motor and car, but the majority of posts on this site about the 5th gen would lead you to believe that a stock ls1 fbody can out run one. I bet there are more stock 5th gens in the 12's than stock ls1 fbody's.

Oh I think that's almost a given, I'd guess that the ratio is probably like 4 to 1.
I personally know of three separate bone stock 2010/2011 SSs in the 12s.

A loaded 5th gen camaro SS with manual transmission is 3860 with a full tank of gas.

11.6 @ 119 has been done with bolt ons and slicks.

Shows how simple minded america is. People are dumb enough to buy An overpriced, hideous, obese muscle car that gets its a$$ handed to it by a far superior, less expensive and better looking mustang. All for what? The camaro name? The chevy name? GM is a s**t company always has been. Ford didn't take the bailout people. You know why? Because they make a better product. Its kinda good for me though. Everyone and there mother has a camaro here in the capital region. Cant wait to roll out my "one of a kind" 2013 GT premium and show these mullets whats up.


Seriously, that guy sounds more upset and wrong then anything. It's funny how even his own kind are basically calling him out for being an idiot. The 5.0 is a dam fine car and basically shows GM what they did wrong by letting the Camaro be so heavy but I wouldn't go as far as to say stock for stock the 5.0 hands a LS3 it's ***.

As others have stated, it's dam good to see all 3 of these awesome cars doing so well in sales and bringing us newer and even better models such as a the 2013 GT500 and ZL1 not to mention the 392 Challenger is also something. If it weren't for all the good sales and competition to each other we would be stuck with boring models probably.
