Camaro vs others

Camaro slower than Cobalt SS (in all out race)

turns out it takes big gears to get a heavy ass car like that to move

I like the Dollar per HP figure...That really makes some striking observations. One thought is that if your going to buy a sports car on that basis, then you might as well go for the upscale/uprated version as the price diff is neglible to performance gains. In some instances you get a better deal to go big. Insurance quotes aside.
