Camaro V6 vs. G-37 coupe - Page 2 - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

I loved the G35 but the 37 not so much. I test drove one just to see how it felt and it was quick but I didn't feel the power that I feel in my SS. I personally like the beefy look of the Camaro better and the SS front looks much more intimidating than the G37. Good luck with your choice.

340WHP/280WTQ in a car that runs 0-60 in 5 seconds and the quarter in low 13s isnt any power?

Its a 3.7L V6 and runs about the same times as a 6.2L V8 in the SS in a 3715 LB car thats not exactly "light". I think thats pretty damn impressive. Blows away the V6 Camaro performance. Stang, you must have a super duper SS because those are pretty much the same times your SS will run.

I have an 08 G35 (306hp), and I can honestly tell you that off the line the Camaro V6 will get smoked by it, accelleration is much quicker/smoother, might even beat it in a 1/4 mile, 0-60 times

Don't forget a used Cadillac XLR. It's in the same price range and is very definitely a comfortable, sporty road rocket!'

I would think so. The G35 is a high 13 quarter car and the V6 Camaro is a low 14 second car...

it weighs less thats why, the g37 starts at 35k, its more in the SS class

Wow, you actually believe ANY of that?

What are you puffing on and can you spare some? Low 13's in the quarter? Please show me. I guess I have one of those super duper SS's that runs in the 12's.

G37 is comfortable... nice exhaust note... and it ends there.

Get the G8 GXP for daily driver and practicality

I USED to frequent some of the G forums (G35driver and my37), and I don't remember EVER seeing a stock G37 dyno that high. They were mostly around 260 - 270 at the rear wheels. Also, 900hp on a stock block?? Maybe for a brief second before it explodes.

Instead of the Infinity, I think the Camaro would be the way to go. I suspect the Infinity would be faster however, since its lighter. What do you guys think?

The G37 offers more but is more expensive than the Camaro. I like the G35's better than the G37's. You also have to look at what cost more to maintain too. Love the sound of the G35/7/Z's best sounding V6's.
