Hopefully Chevy Understands the New Camaro Design is More Important than a 0.5 Second Faster 1/4 Mile

I personally wouldn't care if the lower trims of V8 equipped Camaros turn corners better than the Mustang. I just want the engine power to hit nicely between 0 and 60. Manual transmission. 2 doors. And I want good sound and comfortable. To me that's what the pony car segment is about, not razor edge handling.

Sure, do a 1LE model with spine cracking suspension and O-ring tires that last 1,000 miles, but don't set up the base V8 that way.
Unfortunately, we have the conundrum of the auto world...Good, Fast, and Cheap.

You can make a really good car with a great suspension that handles well in the turns and won't break your back, but it won't be cheap. You can have a cheap car that does well in the turns, but it will be back breaking and probably have other issues, or you can have a car with a comfortable suspension that isn't expensive, but it won't handle well in the turns.
