The z is shorter, lighter and faster than before.
Not to mention it's handeling has improved!
+ it's leaner figure compared to the bulky Camaro.
But don't get me wrong the Camaro is a beast with it's V8.
Remember the Z is only a V6 and it's a threat to all Camaro drivers!
I just hope that GM doesn't disappoint me as usual with their crap parts and poor engineering.:(


Im puting the Queen on Troll-Watch.


That being said the Camaro isnt 'bulky'. Ill bet you've never seen it.

Second... its 20 lbs lighter. A number which will likely be made up by driver weight.

Third.... V6 doesnt really mean much anymore in this day and age, if you want to get really specific my buddies 2.0L mini cooper will blow the doors off the Z.

Forth, my Girlfriend has a Z. the Quality of parts is EMBARASSING. Its amazing that made it off the line....


and Finally, the number 1# factor in comparison should be $$, and im not sure if you've priced a 370z recently, but Nissan is RIPPING PEOPLE OFF.

Want Leather and the Rev-matching manual?? think 37.5K+++

A tick over 13.0 sec. and you're through the quarter-mile. It's a rush, of course, but not overly dramatic. Try the same thing with this pair's predecessors of 1970 or so and you'll find yourself in a bit of a wrestling match. Ain't progress wonderful? Maybe yes, and maybe sometimes it's fun to wrestle."
