2016 Alpha platform Camaro

I figure GM learned their lesson in the 80's when they produced a turbo firebird that was faster than the vette. Dumb to make a car a better performer than your showcase.

What you have to understand is each sport vehicle has its own engineering & design teams. They share technology but they also compete. So Camaro guys are trying to get as close to corvette performance as possible. But Camaro research has a smaller budget than corvette. With the Camaro 6. The team was allowed to get the Alfa platform, the LT1 and MRC, so they ran with it like a Superbowl football.

Team camaro just figured out how to do more with less. I think it's awesome.


You're talking about the Firebird GTA. Basically the chassis was lighter on the Pontiac and they stuffed a Grand National engine in it. Which was the undefeatable engine of its day.
