Now i have tried very hard not compare the Z to the Camaro because .. Scott said its impossible to compare the two (when talking about weight) and since im one for fairness i took that as, "its impossible to compare the two" but because its being compared, ill entertain conversation. Your nuts. the Camaro is going to be a great handling car, but it still lap's slower than the Cobalt SS, which was beat by the 350. Now the 370 is going to be much more of a track car than the 350, so by using basic logic, the SS wont match up to a 370 on a track. |

Don't care for the 370z at all. I don't like bubble cars and the 370 looks like a bubble car that a fat chick sat on the back end of it. Motorwise -- it may be a pumped up V6 but it is still missing 2 too many jugs to be on my hit list. Above and beyond all that, those cars are produced by a foreign-based company. I fought in 2 wars to defend the interests of this country. There is a conscious decision in every purchase that I make as to not sell out America’s economy to foreign countries. |

Not long enough. I won't go into a political/historical discussion here, but forgetting history has created a lot of problems that we face now. Get back to me with a PM if you want to hear more of what I think.

This car is FUGLY!!!
This is the ugliest rear end on any "performance" car out there, it's squished and doesn't even look remotely fast. (keep in mind i realize the car is fast) but in my opinion a car has to loom the part too, and the Camaro certainly looks the part in every way. The Z cars have always looked like s**t to me, however the front end is a huge improvement on this car and the interior is nice, but the a** end ruined it for me. Not to mention I don't buy foreign cars i agree to remember Pearl Harbor, if you forget the past it repeats itself, this much has already been proven.

Well its impossible to escape the reality that we live in a global economy. Meaning we're inextricably linkied. So taking this disposition of isolationist mentality is not only unrealistic but detrimental to multiculturalism and an appreciation for the variety this world has to offer in so many aspects including consumer choice in what the global automotive industry has to offer.

The SS, imo, will match up to the 370z on a track, and it's got plenty more grunt to pull ahead, as well...but frankly, this is all peanuts until either car is released. |

That car, with street tires and the coilovers adjusted, can be driven on the street about as well as a big cam LSx car, if not more so.

I haven't paid attention to the 'catfish' car since it was a datsun, I was going to guess it could possibly run deeper into the corners than the Camaro, but with that weight distribution, and not enough torque to throw the tail out, it's gonna push (understeer). So, fastest straight line, 'Maro, best cornering, probably alot closer than you think, call it a tie for now, fastest out of the corner, 'Maro....And what's with that high price?
Ok, I'm pickin at you datsun guys just a bit, I'm sure it's a fine car...As long as you don't go revving on SS Camaro's you should be more than happy with your purchase.

I really can't believe people are claiming Pearl Harbor as a reason not to buy Japanese cars.
Hirohito was despised by his people. The Japanese actually called for his head after WWII; not for losing the war, but for war crimes such as fire-bombing his own soil and forcing the country to enter a war that very few of the Japanese wanted to fight. The Japanese were actually very supportive of the Americans that came and restructured the country. The people that run the country today are the sons and daughters of those who wanted nothing to do with the war. Yes, the lessons of the past are important. Let's just make sure that we know what the past actually was. |
