Neither would I - Camaros are assuredly not refined, but they are most
certainly quick. I would probably consider the current Z28 one of the
better buys around bang/buck wise - they have truckish rear axles and
look kinda funny, but they will go like stink and they *will* corner
(on a smooth road anyway) at a surprisingly high limit, although I
would definitely prefer an SP Scirocco/GTI for teeny transitional stuff.
Mannix's time sheet below shows the outcome of this (the same story is
told over and over the more results you looks at - I've got a pretty
huge archive of Sports Car magazine with a lot of SoloII National
results in them).

Actually, that time is including the 10 cones I hit, so actually I ran
a low 36!!! Yeah!!! Oh wait, I guess that means my car is faster than
the F-body cars...
