Default RE: SE has Competition

I just looked at the Subaru outback (a station wagon) to check the 0-60 times.
A regular one does it in 8.2 seconds, just slightly slower than the SE.
A turbocharged one does 6 seconds. So that will beat the Challenger SE and is
about the same speed as a Camaro. The SE doesn't sound too zippy to me.
Looks like it's about as fast as an average non-performance car.
That's pretty funny, thinking about turbo Subaru outbacks beating Challenger SE
and Camaros.

I think GM screwed up big time by not making the Camaro look like a hot muscle
car from the late 60's/early 70's. It just looks like a modern car. It has no nostalgia factor.
They totally missed the whole point of what the resurgence of muscle cars is about.
They had a golden opportunity to start from scratch and make something really hot.
They could've done anything with it. They blew it. The people in charge of body design
at GM SUCK!!!
