Really, so how is asserting that road courses, specifically the handling characteristic that makes cars excel on most tracks, are what people should be focusing on not biased or something more than opinion? To back that up, he simply said "this is what the rest of the world cares about." Quite frankly, who cares? This is about the OP's preferences not the world's. Speaking of preferences, I thought weirdest thing was that his preference was allegedly handling, yet someone gave a great comparison involving the Miata, of which he denied. This was meant to show that buying on only one characteristic was simply absurd. To reiterate, he wanted the OP to choose the 370z because it was a "better performer" in mike's eyes; weirdly, he backed this up with looking at one variable, handling, and, ironically, of which he showed his disagreement with Camaro enthusiasts looking only at "drag times," to show which car was the supposedly better performer. In reality, if one wants the track star of the moment, then it would seem to be the Camaro to be your pick. It has outran the 370z on every road course I've seen. Of course the 370z will be able to surpass it in the corners with your average drivers, yet that doesn't count for much in the end.

again most people here look at is drag numbers. go to the camaro VS threads. all drag.... and they rag on BMWs, 370z, STIs etc when those cars are overall better performance wise.
heres my only thing i want this thread to understand.
if you want a good everyday car that is practical, more reliable, cheaper to fix and mod. comes with a softer suspension, with a big engine. and looks fantastic. get the camaro.
if you want a car that is not very practical, only has two seats ,small trunk, tighter and stuffer suspension, higher revving engine. and you want to go at least a day-week, maybe a month without seeing another on the road and you want people to ask you want kind of car is that. go for a 370z. pretty much a car that is driven by 95% enthusiast. geez with that description sounds like a ferrari also lol
