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.
And other magazines rate the camaro at 14.3,14.4,14.2 etc... as well as better 0-60 times. Good job on comparing the worse camaro times against the best 350z times lol.
