Also, "weight, saloom speeds, feedback, braking (with no fade) etc" is nothing but math. In fact, it's like, math in the purist form.
Dude, I think you still don't get it, I am not partial toward the camaro. When comparing the camaro to the 370z both will probaly share some advantages and disadavantages over one another. It is about which car "total package" will translate to faster track times, which is the true test of handleing and power. handleing is not a math equation, when a car is setup properly to inspire greater driver confidence to push the car harder on a track, that is no mathmatic formula. In other words if the 370Z does .99g's of grip in the corners, and the camaro offers .97g's of grip. But the camaro has about 100 more horspwer and 150ft-lbs more torque assuming the feedback and brakeing are virtually on par, the 370Z will still loose on the track. The .02g's the 370Z has on paper over the camaro will not translate into victory on the race track. I can see it now when I meet a 370Z owner on the track, when he says his car can out brake my Camaro 60-0 by 2 ft., I will say congradulations, but you still lost the race.
