If SPEED is what you want, the SS will SMOKE the G35, OR a new G37S.
what do you miss about FWD???

I want the 2011 2ss blk/blk, rs package, white stripe, hurst shifter.
Any explanation you give probably won't make sense to them. Just like it makes no sense to us why they would ever consider the Infiniti to be better.

Their only reason is probably the label. Infinity VS Chevy. Which is a lame excuse...
???

Two different 'types' of cars....

G35 is a luxury sports coupe
Camaro is a 'muscle' car...it's certainly not a car that anyone enthusiast would attach the 'luxury' moniker to..

Most non-sports car people would consider it a step down...and from a 'comfort' and/or 'luxury' standpoint...it is a step down.

I went from a 2004 BMW M3 to a 2010 SS and everyone including myself consider it a step up.

Step down: The only thing the g35 has on the camaro is a color nav screen.

Step up: Performance
maintenance cost
Exterior looks

I have an 05 G35 coupe and 05 G35X sedan great cars but when compared to the SS there is none. The SS blows my G35 coupe out the water.

The people you work with are retarts

I know looks are subjective but...
How is a car 6 years younger, better looking, faster and more eye-catching a step down?
Maybe you will miss some of the nice interior luxuries of the infinity but...

SS > g35 in every way other than maybe fuel economy and comfort/ergonomics.
