Industry's first knee coolers. CR is sure to point this out in a few months.

Very nice evolution overall, except for one glaring mistake. It has an electronic e-brake! Blasphemy in a rear wheel drive sports/muscle car. That's going to **** a lot of performance drivers off who may want to drift and such. And yeah, the vents are too low. You'll have to have them pointed all the way up to cool your face.

It also makes life a little simpler for the technician........manually-operated emergency brakes, unlike the rear brakes themselves, are not typically self-adjusting. With wear on the rear brake pads/shoes, the handle will get looser and pull up with more and more clicks before taking hold. The technician sometimes needs to periodically adjust the brake linkage to the proper number of clicks....usually two or three. E-brakes, of course, automatically engage or disengage no matter how much wear is on the pads.

Eh, nothing special done here. The front and rear are slightly modernized, but the side profile looks just like the current retro boat. GM had another chance to enter into contemporary sports car territory with a credible nameplate, but decided to cling to the past. This fuddy-duddy mentality is the core thing holding the company back in overall sales. At least they got rid of the toyish gauge tubes.

It's only blasphemy if you don't know how to drive or if your car is under-powered. Pulling the parking brake on a rwd V8 muscle car is nonsense when all you have to do is toss the car and apply throttle.. And drifters modify the parking brakes on the rear because the stock setup is not up to the task, anyway.

Drifting, of course, is not only quite risky on public roads, but, if the road surface doesn't have some slickness to it and allow some slip, places great stress not only on the rear tires but other components like rear wheel bearings, RWD differentials/axles, U-joints, etc.....

A hot lap in the all-new 2016 #CamaroSix. We must be crazy, and Dennis Pittsenbarger must be lucky. Hear him talk about what's new in the 2016 Camaro.
We were the first to drive (and crash) the 2016 Chevrolet Camaro. Click below for more details:http://jalopnik.com/i-was-the-first-...=1431966444367

I'm not necessarily against drifting if it is done in the proper place, under the proper conditions. But, IMO, a public road, on hard dry pavement, is not one of them.

Yes, potholes also cause stress, but the difference is that they are something a driver usually can't do much about.....though some of them can be avoided if you watch the road carefully in front of you and steer accordingly.

weight probably will equalize with what the 15 GT is now. Camaro was always around 200# heavier. They made the car have less headroom and less backseat space, people arent going to like that. Motor Trend said headroom went down from 37.4" to 36.6"
