The V6 Camaro is not as bad as you make it sound. Not one professional review I have read has said anything about "deadsports" in the pedal, and none have called it a "slug". However, every review I have read with a car that has a VQ its been mentioned that the engine is extremely harsh and grainy in the upper RPM's, and the engine is so unbalanced that the vibrations can be felt through the shifter and pedals. What an awesome engine 
Verified by who lol?? Some 350Z forum moderator that took someone's word for it that their car ran that time or that the timeslip they provided was actually their time slip?? What a joke. |
Wesman, there's a reason why nobody pays attention to you. Your posts lack coherent logic, consistency, or any validity, and are instead based purely on your emotions, and let's be honest- you are a very emotional person. This is fine, and please don't take that the wrong way, I'm just pointing out that you would be better off posting on a rational, rather than an emotional basis. It's hard for anybody to take what you say seriously when you have been on these boards for years and very seldom do you have anything worthwhile or constructive to a thread besides how you
feel.
This thread is about the 350z vs V6 Camaro. I own a 350z and have driven the V6 Camaro a number of times. Those same professional reviews you mention, rate the V6 Camaro at a 6.1 second 0-60 and 14.5 quarter mile. 14.5 second quarter mile is by no means slow, but by no means fast. I am only pointing out that the oldest and slowest 350z which had only 287 HP was rated at 13.9-14.0 quarter mile in professional reviews, and based on verified times, was clearly capable of 13.6x's. The latest model 350z HR was rated at a 0-60 of 5.1 seconds (a second faster than the V6 Camaro) and a quarter mile time of 13.6-13.7, depending on the professional review- this is also nearly a second faster than the Camaro's quarter mile time, and as has been documented, is capable of low 13's completely stock with a great driver and excellent conditions.
Now, you can huff and puff and get angry, or just accept that the V6 Camaro is a head turner and beautiful car, but if you want to call it a 'fast' car your only option is to upgrade to the SS or spend some money on forced induction.
