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

smokingcamaro · 10-01-2011, 04:08 PM

I was wondering if anybody knows anything about the 370z, I went to the Nissan dealership and drove one and man. It was quicker than my v6 but now as far as looks the Camaro still wins. I know that I could get a used 370z for the same price as my Camaro. What are yalls opinion on the 370z

They perform decently..but if you like the looks go for it. Not my bucket of chicken..up to you though...do what makes you happy.

brAnd7onX · 10-01-2011, 04:24 PM

370z is around the same price as an SS. I would just upgrade to an SS if you like your camaro. Just my opinion though.

The Z starts at like $31,500, you can get an SS for the same price. So you'll have the power and looks.

This is true but it is surprising that the Z's V6 can run with the some of the V8's today. I guess I also want a 2 seater for some reason. If I had it my way I would have both but I can not afford it at the moment. Maybe I should start looking at used Corvette but those are really expensive.

The Camaro SS WILL make you happy; mine makes me feel good every time I look at it, the car is just ooh soo fine.

jtzako · 10-01-2011, 04:46 PM

The 370z will not keep up with a modern V8... maybe the ones from a few years ago like the previous mustang, but not the new 5.0, or SS, or even the Challenger SRT8.

The only thing that car has going for it is light weight. Its curb weight is about 500 lbs less than the SS.

That being said, if you really like the style of the car, go for it.

Get SS, but 370z is a very nice car

Obzen · 10-01-2011, 05:04 PM

370z was actually my first choice before I decided I wanted to stay with a V8. I'd take one over an LS any day. However. Your not gonna find a used one for the same price as your LS unless it's got a ton of miles.

The SS was more of what I wanted but they are completely different cars.

camaroitalia · 10-01-2011, 05:45 PM

the 370z is a very nice car... but if i wanted another two seater i would def go back to a vette. If price is an issue u can get a used C5 1997-2004 corvette for cheaper than your LS. Yeah it will have some miles on it but those engines are built strong, plus that v8 rumble is amazing!

Apex Motorsports · 10-01-2011, 05:51 PM

I like the 370Z a lot. It is a sharp car but it is close to SS money. They are two different animals though.

Caspers2SSRS · 10-01-2011, 05:52 PM

Weighed by the pound the Gen5 SS............is a better investment. Its a macho machine, its quicker, roomer, better looking....................

Used Corvettes are about the same price. Heres one. http://www.carmax.com/enus/view-car/...7-4b8cba8c12d1
