Take it to the levy... 5 to choose from in GT3:

It's likely that most of you will only have driven a Chevrolet Camaro once in GT3. Well, that's inaccurate - you'll have driven the car once, in licence test A4, but you'll have done that same 14 second section a couple of million times. This could prejudice you against the cars, to which I say "GOOD!". The Camaro always seems to wallow in corners, even though it's not the heaviest car in the game. It's not underpowered either, but it's just not much fun.

Corvette Grand Sport

The last of the 5th generation Corvettes. I find it loose, sloppy, feeble and annoying. Better to go for the:

Corvette Z06

A completely different prospect to the 5th gen Corvette GS. Taut, well-styled and never under-powered, this car is good to drive. It's obviously aiming at the Viper - which it misses, especially when the new SRT Viper with 8.2 litre V10 and 500hp arrives - but it's still a very good car.

Corvette C5-R
Chevrolet Corvette C5-R

Never really driven this car until pretty much this last week. Then I found out how much fun a racing bodied, 1000hp (fully tuned, of course) FR car can be. An absolute scream to drive, and with very little settings tuning can easily keep up with the AI Toyota TS020 GT-One Race Car. As far as I'm concerned, if you don't have one of these in your garage, you're a monkey. Yes, the one from Trial Mountain.
