The sunroof takes out about 2" of headroom. The 5th gen fits me FAR better than the 4th gen ever thought of. Im 6'5.5" and its an rough time.
Regardless, the 5th gen is a FAR FAR FAR FAR FAR better car than ANY 4th gen can even think about. /thread

The 4th gen was way better than the 3rd gen in a hell of a lot of ways and Chevy had no break in production. I don't understand why your point is even worth mentioning. It's a baseline requirement that the new generation be better than the one it replaces.

It had damn well better be. They had 6 years of no F-body production while they worked on it. If it wasn't a "FAR FAR FAR FAR FAR better car" in at least some respects, Chevy should close it's doors tomorrow because they are going in reverse.

Its worth mentioning because so many people are bitching about it and saying they are going to keep their 4th gen because blah, blah, blah. Well, then dont complain about it if you arent going to purchase it. There are other cars out there.
Plus, they worked on it for about 2 and a half years. Pretty fast to come up with a completely new car.

Was the 3rd gen better than the 2nd?? Hell no.

4th gens have their place and a lot of people use them to get into a great engine that has a so-so body and chassis wrapped around it. I mean the chassis hasnt effectively changed since 1982!!
When the 4th gen was stock the best you could get on the skidpad was around .86g. What does the 5th gen pull? .92g. Now, that can be the tires but more likely its a modern suspension that allows to car to be bearable by the majority of people that are going to buy it.
I know its not a whole new car but everything you can effectively see is brand new. Im glad they didnt make a GM Challenger. Where every part on the interior is straight from the parts bin.

I used to think the 4th gens looked huge @ first. Then they grew on me. This one may look huge, but Im sure it will grow on everyone that it puts off.

I loved the look of the 4th gen from day one, Although I think the 69 is the best, but I don't like this new one. I saw one from behind on the street the other day and it looked like a chick with no ***. Maybe it will grow on me. I was hoping for something more retro like the mustang and challanger.

They do look tough. I'll give them credit there. It has decent lines for an attempt at the retro styling. but it's still a pig.
I mean seriously the V6 has 304 hp and I watched one pull off a 15.36? jeez, I have 240 hp and pulled off a mid 14 on the worst drag gear ratio imaginable(2.59:1)!
That right there says Gm wasn't thinking with their dipstick on the performance if you know what I mean.

Wow... a lot of whining in this thread. Personally I could never give up my 4th gen T/A for a new Camaro. I would just have to get both of them somehow. Luckily for me, my father is planning on buying one so I get the best of both worlds.
yea no doubt.
