So your leaning towards the camaro again,

camaro of course. the 31K SS1 may well be the performance bargain of the year; brand new LS3 for that price? i wouldn't think much about it. make sure you like the styling though.

A. they are better at driving.

and

B. You can definately get a 4.7 and probably lower if you launch it right w/ manual.

The 370z is going to loose in the straights, but more than that its going to FEEL slower because the huge gap in torque... but the Z will likely outhandle the camaro, just as it should being 600lbs lighter, smaller, and w/ 2 seats. Gas milage will be closer than you'd think in the real world with a slight edge to the Z.

I dunno the article I read was 3400 something lbs and 5.0 to 60 and 13.6 in the 1/4.

So maybe there is a 3200 lb version of the base car that can trim off 2-3 tenths to 60 and 2 in the 1/4 but it is probably bare bones and at that point I wouldn't go for it.

Even at 4.7 and say 13.4 it will lose. It will jump off the line well but the V8 will pull hard and pass it around 80 mph. Motor Trend often puts out times that are never reached again. I never trust them since no other test reviews can ever get what they claim consistantly.

You know, I think I've seen you on one of those live "high speed pursuit" broadcasts on television.

EDIT:...nevermind...I forgot your were from up North.

Is the Nissan really only 30k in Canada?

To get a comparably equipped (to the 2SS) 350z, it's more than $37,000 USD.

yea the 350z is expensive to. but the op mentioned that he can get a 370z for as low as 30k. which is good to hear for him anways. i can see the 370z full loaded marken mild 45k.

Oh yea, it will loose to the SS, im not arguing that, im just saying the handling goes to Z and the straights go to SS, however it will be closer than people think to 60... SS will pwn in drag.

i have a great friend whoe father owns a few infiniti nissan dealerships... i got my last 350z demo with 15000 kms for about 18,000... which is insanely good of a deal in canada... i can get a 370z for around 30, but a camaro after taxes and options will be around 50k... that truely is premium pricing now i love the car so much i still may just pay that steep price, but comparable to it is a 370z, or a prev gen m3... which are both around 30k for me...

welcome to the internet

GatorBlue371 · 12-16-2008, 10:15 PM

if you own a 350 you know what you would be getting ith a 370... same car, but better on every level.

The camaro is a whole different animal.

CaptianSam · 12-16-2008, 10:17 PM

The camaro is a whole different animal. __________________ "With a light touch on the brakes, run the revs up a bit. Slip off the brake and bury the throttle. There's a light chirp as tires scratch for bite. Then comes a sub-5.0-second sled ride to 60 mph. A tick over 13.0 sec. and you're through the quarter-mile. It's a rush, of course, but not overly dramatic. Try the same thing with this pair's predecessors of 1970 or so and you'll find yourself in a bit of a wrestling match. Ain't progress wonderful? Maybe yes, and maybe sometimes it's fun to wrestle."
