New Competition? 2012 Camaro V6 bumped to 325 or 330 hp

I would hate one for a DD. The Grand National is pretty sweet as a 1/4 mile sleeper-type car, but actually driving it around on the daily... heck no. At the end of the day it's just a piece of crap 1980s Buick that drives like a 1980s Buick. The only difference is this one goes really fast in a straight line.

A DD is supposed to be a POS, then you go home and get in your Z06/GTR/Gallardo/whatever and have fun. I just really like the look and history of the GN.

Meh, a DD is not supposed to be a POS. Beater is supposed to be a POS.

A DD is meant to be a practical car. It's supposed to be comfortable and/or economical, and inexpensive. It can be fun or pretty, but that's not the primary function.

A beater is just any car that has seen much better days, a car you're driving into the ground. My Mazda6 is both a beater and a DD.
