Wifes 370z vs my camaro ss - Page 6 - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Well in reality here we are talking about a 60ft difference being the deciding factor.. a 1.9 for th 370Z and a 2.0 for the Camaro could have the Camaro eating crow. It's not exactly a large difference. Since I haven't seen anyone with 'skill' running a 370Z and knowing the 350Zs have gone 13.1 @ 107mph I have to reserve my optimism a bit but state that it's closer than any 2010 Camar owner would like to admit.

The 350z ran a 13.1... doesn't mean the 370z is going to break 12's. We've seen this with the Challenger SRT8, the RT has hit a 13.1 and, after 2 years I might add, the SRT8 has yet to break 12's.

You're biggest point was there isn't much of a difference, which is why in order to make a fair comparison, you have to assume both drivers are of equal skill level.

We have? The same run that the guy claims 108mph? Or that he picked up 28mph in the last 1/8th? Not stock or an admitted glitch in the timing lights which makes it invalid. And he pulled the air filter...

Well I guess people over at challengertalk are liars. But now that you bring that up I think it was in the "My R/T" thread lol.

There it is. The guy has a 'stock' r/t running with SRT8s and his only rational reasoning was 'I've been racing for more years than everyone else'.

Not to mention if you can't find an SRT8 that has broke 12s bone stock you either are not looking hard enough or simply refusing to look because you don't want to know.

I was specifically talking about the challenger SRT8 and not SRT8s in general. I know the Charger has broke 12's, with a 12.8x being the highest if I'm not mistaken.

Correct, Username is right, the challenger srt8 has yet to break into the 12s, stock of course and to my knowledge. But yeah, the r/t is to the srt like the camaro's v6 is to the v8 (okay, not quite that drastic but you get the idea, big v8 vs bigger v8)

That's my bad..I thought they broke that mark a while ago.

and the 370z is a base base non-sport car so its the lightest at about 3232ibs (from nissan)

more fun to drive? r u serious? the 370 is a wanna be infiniti that blends in so bad in todays coupe market that it goes by unnoticed while the camaro from the sound to the feel to the way you sit in the cockpit makes for a much more fun driving experience.

jap cars are dumb without forced induction. Give me a 370z with a gt35r and now that would be fun to drive

You embarass yourself and make the rest of us look stupid. Thanks you are truly a class act.

So the 370z is not fun to drive because you don't think it stands out, and its N/A??

And we're done.

Mostly because we have a strict No street racing policy.

Thanks!
