Chevrolet Camaro - Animation Time!

Today's Animation Time features the Chevrolet Camaro Rig.
The Camaro drives forward and accelerates. As it approaches the camera it turns, peels off to the side and comes to an abrupt halt. At which point it slowly settles all movement until it comes to a full stop.
