A 2800 lb. car with well designed IRS and a 3400 lb. car with a solid rear axle are going to handle way differently. I'm not going to say you can't make a Camaro handle decently, since I auto-x with some pretty fast F-bodies, but its a much different style. I like to compare it to choosing between a ninja sword or a sledgehammer. Each will get the job done, but you have to choose whats right for you. A 240 relies most on good supension geometry and balance to maintain speed though a corner. The Camaro's advantage is tons of grip and power despite lots of sloppyness, especially over bumps. Having driven a couple F-bodies though, I can tell you they are not a "driver's car", and driving them hard is more of a struggle than recreational. Plus the dash looks like something that came out of a fire at a Playskool factory.
