Tyler. I need you to settle an argument between Jess and me. What's best for downtown racing? European sports compact or American muscle?
In terms of sheer power? American muscle. No contest.

The irony is... this "American Muscle" is a contender for one of the slowest fully upgraded accelerating cars in the game. 1252 horsepower doesn't feel like it.

Chevrolet Camaro Z28 Race Spec Performance Review:
The voiceline in the title above comes up often when you drive as Tyler even after you finished the game. It is a conversation where Tyler suggested American Muscle because of it's sheer power. Well the irony is, the Camaro Z28's acceleration is a contender for one of the slowest accelerating car in the game. It's NOS accel is really weak, probably the weakest one so far I've tested and it's engine acceleration is decent but isn't amazing. The Camaro may have 1252hp but it doesn't accelerate like one.

Handling wise has ups and downs. The best part of this car is it's drift recovery speed. With a bit of smooth drifting at exits, you can regain most of your speeds. At medium and high speeds, it's quite responsive to brake drifting but you need to becareful at low speeds because it doesn't respond to brake drift well at low speed hairpin turns. So you must use handbrake for low speed turns. The drift angle is quite limited too for low speed turns.

Basically the Camaro is pretty much a much weaker version of the Lamborghini Huracan. The drift recovery speed at corner exits is only the best thing about the Camaro.

How does it compare with 911 RSR and Regera:
5 seconds slower than the 911 Carrera RSR in Mountain Run. It's drift recovery speed is it's best part but with such weak overall accel, it just stand no chance.
