Chevrolet has a feature on its traction control on the new Camaro Z28. It is called "Flying Car". and it actually works. Check it out, doubters.

Neat.

Magnetic suspension is awesome. Such a shame in most people's minds the Camaro is still 'a big heavy car that can't handle'.

To be fair, drove a brand new LT2 the other day and it felt like that. Just a big ol' car that drove like nothing special. I will however also admit that it was a VERY comfortable ride, without giving up too much performance.

I wanna try the SS and see if it differs. They're also too thick (giggity) in terms of the plastic panels, they take up way too much space. It makes a huge car small on the inside, I mean heck, I am only 6'3" and I had a hard time turning around to look behind me.

Hopefully the magnetic suspension tech can make it's way down the line. The LT2 is still a conventional setup, isn't it?

I've enjoyed the Camaro, but I'll admit it's been a while since I've driven one. It does feel like sitting in a tank, I know that hasn't changed.

Yeah I think the suspension is only upgraded in the Z28 and added as an option on the SS.

And that is exactly it, on the base models it feels like a tank. A nice sounding, comfortable tank nonetheless. I do also dislike the info center in the middle of the dash (not the GPS/Media screen) since it isn't very dynamic. Or maybe I was too worried about being DD that I forgot to look for the buttons.
