pretty soon someone will do a shootout and test them back to back, although i would like to see the 135i vs the camaro
My comment was with R&T where the same test process was used for both, but not on the same day, so it's considerable that there is some sight difference in being able to achieve the comparitive maximum numbers in each test. However the point is that previous Posters said the Camaro is a POS (without possibly driving one for a personal opinion) and assumed the 335 toasted the Camaro in performance. The data show the cars a extremely close in every category except PRICE.

You're right. And there are no European car mechanics shops.

Camaro SS would be a blast to mod, huge HP w/ easy N/A mods, and if you add in F/I, watch out!

the suspension needs to be torn out and redone w/ a good set of coilovers and sways and for the love of god GM, please build the Camaro with less weight!!!!

I loved my '69 SS like no other, miss that car every single day. The pure emotion of driving that beast was moving......damn I miss it.

had the works for its time, built T56 transplant out of a Viper, digital F/I, heads/cams, custom suspension, custom stiffened frame, racing seats/harnesses, upgraded brakes, etc.

gah

You sold that,

That sucks, but shit happens man.


Why not get the new Camaro SS?

It will be badass....you can always get rid of it and go back to 335 if you hate it that much.

American quality is 10x better than it used to be so I would bet that that car is sweet.

That car had less than 60k miles on it before it died. Bought it with 45k on the odometer, the ultimate newspaper find. I think it cost 5k.....shit you not. Basically in the overall condition you see. It was bone stock, wouldnt turn over and the brakes all had to be replaced, but after that, pure joy.
