I never said that the Camaro isn't a dollar for dollar deal, what I said is that it's distasteful to take the result of one competition, where your top-of-the line product bested a competitor's bottom of the line product, and use that to infer your own product's "superiority."
In my view that's deceitful, but I'm more than willing to give GM the benefit of the doubt. If they really believe their own advertising then it would seem a very small step for them to enter, and win, other competitive events that count on the regular participation of Porsche vehicles. I myself can't wait to see the first Z28 show up at my local autocross track, and will certainly and gladly to to Sears Point or Laguna Seca to witness GM's performance head-to-head against the Porsche contingent. For perspective I saw my very first TransAm race at Vernalis in 1967 with Mark Donahue and Peter Revson, pony cars head-to-head with 911's and even a Lotus-Cortina. Things have changed, and I'm pretty sure I know what to expect. |
