Zl1 is a nice car, there were some pretty big gaps on a few. Looked to be some awkward launches

That car is a monster.

Kind of OT but 6G is so freaking nice! Got to ride in then drive a buddies '16 LT/RS 6cyl and even that thing was a million times better then the 5G(no offense to any 5G owners since they can be badass too). 335hp 7k RPM and even the factory exhaust sounds awesome for a V6 once you get the RPMs going. Beats the living **** out of both the Ecoboost and the V6 Stang hands down. Honestly, I'd take a V6 6G over the V8 5G - not even kidding. Think magazines are getting ~13.5-13.7 out of the 6cyl? That's enough to beat most LT1s and match a lot of LS1 fourth gens in the real world, contrary to what 'Tech makes you think (Yea Yea, I know all LS1s run 12s or they should be burned ).

GM has made tons of progress with the new Camaros...interior is a thousand times better, infotainment screen crisp and high def, fun goodies like launch control, lower weight, higher performance V6 vs V6 and V8 vs V8, and looks way better. It even "feels" more like a sporty Camaro when you drive it and less like a tank like the 5G does. Never been in a car that felt as cramped and massive at the same damn time as the 5G. Still boggles my mind.

"6G are the real deal", source says. Same source believes other cars in this forum are on par or faster than 6Gs are slow.
