^^^ The owner of the Camaro has a good handle on what it takes to go fast on track. And he's right, that the higher drag and smaller engine in the Camaro will likely result in slower laps than the Chainsaw Massacre. The BMW is also being built with some more tech in it, in addition to the suspension. It's getting some traction control and Motorsports ABS. But, it won't ever be as cool as a '69 Camaro.
