thanks for all the replies they have been really helpful.
i also need to try and gain an understanding as to why people will choose a camaro over other muscle cars.
so in terms of yourself, what attracted you to the camaro over other options like the mustang or challenger?
I haven't chimed in yet, but having owned a 1986 IROC for 7 years, and 1977 track day camaro for over 11 years my opinion is pretty much like everyone else... It's a combination of looks, noise, old school basic engineering, power, the individuality in the UK, and £'s for thrills that these cars have....
Other cars such as turbo'd smaller engined may have the same power to weight, but it's a very different kind of delivery. Modern turbo diesels have amazing torque but it's a different less fluid power delivery too. Smaller lighter cars are a completely different experience, currently running a Formula 27 too (Caterham type kit thing) I can vouch it's very feeling, and nothing like as addictive....
Manufacturers are turning to smaller engined turbo cars mainly to fall within more restrictive emissions regs, but even then the actual real world figures are skewed and often don't actually work out better or more efficient than a bigger engine at lower revs in my opinion.
