The 370Z lacks 2 back seats and is lighter and smaller than the Camaro. It is not in the same class in my opinion for those two reasons alone regardless of price. Now in terms of performance, the 370Z will match the Camaro's 0-60 times at 4.7 give or take a tenth of a sec here and there and the Camaro will be faster at higher speeds while the Z will be more nimble in the turns. It will make for some interesting races around different tracks around the world..

Now, the base 370Z is more expensive than the base Camaro SS which should make the Camaro appeal to a wider range of buyers as well... Muscle car vs Sports car and they will be rivals since the Mustang GT currently can't hang..

As for the 370z cars interior, it is very nice.. I do agree with you that the interior is better than the Camaro's in many ways, however I love the looks of the Camaro a whole lot more.. I even like the 350Z looks better than the 370z.. The one thing that stands out though with the Z is their manual transmission. I do like the technology behind "SynchroRev Match" so you don't have to do the "heel to toe" maneuver when downshifting. That is something very cool to consider when test driving the new Z..

Either way I am sticking with the Camaro since the Z is way too small for my taste..
