370Z and Camaro SS - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Did anyone cross shop these two cars before buying? Obviously I'm a Camaro guy, I've owned 2 already...a Gen 3, and a Gen 4....but the 370Z interior really strikes me as does the gas mileage. Anyone drive both? How did they compare? Funny enough there are no incentives on either of them, so interest will have to be paid. Also checked out the IS350 from Lexus.

370z is going to be more fun... but now as BA as a camaro and will not have a v8 rumble... but does have a nice high pict tone...

370z = fast and great handling looks cool , 2 seats (sports )

SS = fast nice engine, look cool .. but lack handling 4 seats ( muscle )

I've never even seen a 370Z

CynAgain · 06-19-2010, 04:23 PM

Seems like every other car in Fresno is a Z!

LS1owner · 06-19-2010, 04:37 PM

Yeah tough call. If the Camaro had a 2010 looking interior (obviously, being a Camaro fa myself I KNOW this wasn't the idea) I'd be all over it. The 370Z interior INSIDE the SS would be perfect...but I think they call that a Corvette.

I looked but expected a bit better mileage from a naturally aspirated 6. Plus that thing with options gets freakin' expensive.......that and my mother works at the Chevrolet dealership!

LS1owner · 06-19-2010, 04:59 PM

Yeah I'm going fully loaded on either one...the Z is fully loaded at 41k sticker, the SS is 36k ...its close.

Camaro SS - more mod friendly (low to mid 12s with simple basic mods)
Camaro SS - more room (back seat, trunk)
Camaro SS- cool factor - its a Camaro SS

370z - yuppie styling (still looks just like a 350z with minor tweaks)
370z - handles well
370z - interior

Biker chicks, hooters girls, bascially hot girls in general, love Camaros

They're pretty slow.

I was running on low octane yesterday at the track (Thank my friend again) trapping at about 102 running 14s and I still beat one by about seven tenths of a second.... He was running like 14.7, 14.8 at 96~

joes407 · 06-19-2010, 06:26 PM

looks just like a 350z but a little lighter. personnally i like that nismo race version with the rims and spoiler. if i wasnt such a camaro guy i mightve considered one of those. im sure they are still loads of fun and get way better mileage. too bad for nissan i come from the gas guzzler era, ill stick with my 14.7mpg happily.

I was looking at a 370z Nismo but I picked a SS Camaro because the camaro has a back seat. 360+ HP V6 FTW

PS they are not slow. Research it before you post.

Don't you mean 330 hp V6?

edit: nvm you said nismo. but didn't that only get like a 10 hp boost? also its alot slower than it is supposed to be considering it ran seconds behind the camaro around a couple of tracks
