The Z is top dog in your book. Good for you i respect that, its just not in ours. Some of us want the style and the sound of the Camaro, and just the appeal of it being a quick straight line car that you can take out on a double date. But maybe i am wrong there too. You could fit 2 people under the hatch of a Z. All i'm saying is that The 370Z isn't a bad car, its just not the car of choice. Especially for this website. Hence the name Camaro5.
A. Thats 'SS' as in Cobalt 'SS'

B. Its 'Top Dog' on road courses. Id enjoy seeing an argument against that one.

But I'm sure thats not what you meant.


The Ring' favors high speed cars.. not cornering cars. The fact that the SS has such a high speed adv. and only beat the 350z by 4 seconds or so would make me suspect the outcome would be different on a different track.

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."
