Haven't heard it being THAT fast. Many have spewed either tranny/output or axle on the ground when launching with street tires let alone slick. The camaro stopped shipping to dealers for a bit to get the tranny issue sorted out. In fact, check out the camaro forums and you will be sickened by the quality issues being reported.

I hope it turns out ok as competition is good, but man, they had what, two years to sort it out before it was actually intro'd?? WTF?
First year on any vehicle used to be poison, now pretty much EVERY car maker is building higher quality than even just a few years ago. No excuse for some of this crap though.
