Pondering trading my LS for 370z - Page 2 - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

mikeSS · 10-01-2011, 07:10 PM

i personally i would take the Z over a used vette and SS at the moment. a vette or SS is typical car to get. try something new, get the 370z. i have probs seen about 7 370z on the road since 2009. and i love the styling, its got the wide look. very cool

lost count on SS and vettes.

I mean for 2 years old that is not that bad!

23k for a used 2010 370z with 18k miles and still under warranty.... that pretty good in my eyes. wow are they going for that cheap.

Isn't any wonder that a well maintained stock C5 Corvette that can purchased any day of the week in the 12k-18k range. Is still as stylish as it was the day it rolled onto showroom floors..... these things are low end torque monsters, high speed rollers, that stick to curves like slot cars and can still easily suck the paint off the doors of a brand new Z car...........embarrassing so, any day of the week.

rjdapilmoto · 10-01-2011, 09:22 PM

The 370Z is a nice car...I was considering getting one of these when I was car shopping two years ago. It was between the 370Z, Infinity G37, and the Camaro SS. I've been more than satisfied with my decision..

Don't be an idiot.

Sure it will run good with a manual and it has a better power to weight ratio. I question having a neck snapping take off with an auto trans.

I think you should just upgrade to the SS, which is a better investment, and not to mention, has tons of upgrade potential. As someone else has said, the only thing the 370z has going for it is that it's lighter than the SS or 5.0, but it lacks both the power and torque of either car. I THINK, you'll be much happier with an SS, 1SS if you must. You'll have the head turning looks if you keep it clean, and you'll also have the power and torque that MOST cars you come across will not have. Get the SS.

Fraxum · 10-01-2011, 11:04 PM

No back seat, fade-prone brakes, and terrible resale value. I drove one and like it too, but the more I looked into it the Camaro was a better choice for me.

Neuf Cruz · 10-01-2011, 11:40 PM

I had one prior to this car and abosolutely loved it. Quick, handled amazing, like a go cart. It was the best/ funnest car I have ever owned up until this car. With all that being said, I never fell in love with it like the camaro. Actually never thought I would over a car again. Thought I was only into bikes.
There is something about the camaro that just demands attention and gets it. There is just something special about it that I did not get with the Z. Just wish the quality was as good. Never had one issue in 4 years with the Nissan. Not a single one. Hope I can say the same after 4 years with the camaro. Wait it's been 3 months and I can't say that. But still would take the camaro over it. If you really want a 2 seated then get a 2 seater. corvette!!!

+1. I rented a 370Z a couple of years ago, and it was really fun for the first day. Then it got to be like any small quick car. The Camaro's looks endure, imho. Like Frank Lloyd Wright's architecture - 50+ years after he's been gone, his buildings are more popular than ever. The GM engineers really did their homework when they designed our cars.

+1. Needed the back seat for the nieces and occasional adult passengers, though it is a squeeze.

There is something about our cars, a unique design that pulls you in. Still can't believe it's mine.

Don't like the looks of the 370z. I'd go for something more manly.

frank1557 · 10-02-2011, 01:59 AM

Its your decision and take your time on the decision but in my opinion id trade up to a SS and go with that. Although the 370 is a nice color it just comes down to what do you want.

midnighter · 10-02-2011, 02:01 AM

Do it and get it with the sport package.

You think they could have cleaned the car a little better than that? At least the drivers floor area? Still not a bad looking car, and at that price I'd give it a proper detailing myself.
