Showdown! Z/28 vs. 911 Turbo S vs. GT-R Track Edition A German Rocket, Japanese Missile, And An American Howitzer Walk Into A Bar Fight One million years. As in, if you rewound the clock to 2009, never in one million years would I believe I'd be writing a story where a Camaro would be mentioned in the same sentence as a Nissan GT-R or a Porsche 911 Turbo S. I clearly remember the first time I drove a GT-R in anger because I ran into a pack of two Ferrari F430s, a 355 Spyder, a BMW M6, and a Dodge Viper in the canyons above Los Angeles. After a few miles, it became clear exactly who was driving the dominant supercar. (Hint: Me!) Likewise, I'll always remember the first time I got behind the wheel of a Porsche 911 Turbo S, because every time I looked down, the speedometer claimed I was going 114 mph. And I'll never forget my first stab at a fifth-gen, Zeta-platform Chevrolet Camaro SS, because it was the only time I drove straight off Turn 3 at Streets of Willow. What a miserable, bad car. And yet, here we are. That's right, my friends, Motor Trend is pitting the new Camaro Z/28 against the 911 Turbo S and the Nissan GT-R Track Edition. Carlos Lago and I met up with our favorite professional race car driver and Southern son, Randy Pobst. Usually, we just toss Randy on the track and marvel as he works his magic. This time, we took Randy along for the road portion of the story, too. The three of us headed north to a particularly beautiful road our technical director Frank Markus hipped us to, and then went hog wild with three of the best-driving cars you can imagine.

2015 Chrysler 200 First Drive

Chrysler 200 First Drive | The McLaren P1's MT Record | Infiniti's 700-hp Monster      NEW CARS USED CARS ROAD TESTS AUTO SHOWS FUTURE NEWS VIDEOS FEATURES BLOGS FORUMS WOT

2015 Chrysler 200 First Drive: A True Competitor Chrysler Gets Serious At Last In America's Biggest-Selling Class Let's face it, Chrysler has kinda been phoning in its midsize car entries since, when, maybe the original cloud cars, Cirrus, Stratus and Breeze? This chagrinned the new boss in the black sweaters, who asked his team to explain why the company offered three great entries in the miniscule large-car segment, while two crappy ones (then Sebring and Avenger) were being slaughtered by the Camry and Accord in the mighty midsize segment. The answer amounted to shrugged shoulders and finger-pointing at a Daimler organization model that gave cost-driven engineers full authority over the product with no responsibility for its sales. Marchionne's edict: enough phoning it in; hang up and drive. The 2011 200 was a rush patch-it-up job funded by loose change scrounged from bankruptcy-courtroom couches. Whatever sales that car has garnered are testaments to the power of Chrysler's advertising efforts, like the "Imported from Detroit" campaign. The resources allotted to this 2015, however, car will leave no room for excuses. A Carl Sagen-esque $1 billion was spent just on upgrading the Sterling Heights (suburban Detroit) assembly plant that builds it, for example. The strategy is stupid simple: Make people genuinely want this car by giving it more/better/different qualities than the competition offers. Efficiency is important, so the company's thrifty 2.4-liter Tigershark engine (with MultiAir II) is hitched to a segment-first nine-speed automatic with an impressive 9.8 gear ratio spread (most competitors' six-speeds span just 6.0). This means you can get a shorter first gear for quick launches and a super-tall ratio for highway cruising.
