I always felt that at 54.2", The Chevy Camaro was too tall for a sports car and if i owned one? My goal would have been 52" ride height. Well the GOOD OLE ALPHA platform did not disappoint. I had mentioned the alpha looked like the seat was lower in the cockpit floor. Well my guess should be correct because the Camaro 6 is 1.2" lower than the outgoing Camaro 5 at 53". While still 1.6 inches taller than a Z34, the new camaro is low and getting a 1.5" drop shouldn't be any challenge. A 51.5" Camaro is so tempting with a Loud exhaust and dark tints.

The height, weight and proportions of the Camaro are perfect. Nissan needs to look at the Camaro proportions for the R36. While i love the GTR Aggressive styling. The cars proportions are too big for a performance car. Camaro hit a size sweet spot for a 4 seat coupe and am so excited to see this car in person. The new mustang seating position still needed improvement as the seating position mimicks a sporty sedan instead of a sports car. It had been my main gripe with mustang. The optional recaros were very comfy in the stang but still fail to provide that "one with the vehicle" feel while driving.
Theres no denying the Z seating position is the best in the price range. But i think Camaro will shock us. Camaro 5 seat position was real good. Recaros were excellent. In the Camaro. The new seating position should be next level shyt.
