Someone mentioned the ugly rear on the Z car...Now I ask you, is this ugly? Not to me.

I'm not giving up on the Camaro, by no means, but I also appreciate others as well

I think this is

Cool, they even built in a spot for the trailer hitch to go.

Nice to see Nissan planning ahead...

I think that's where the rear-view camera goes.

Otherwise you'd never be able to see out the back.

Its actually a spot to put another marker for the European market. Their laws state they need another marker. They just left blocked out on the USDM version to cut costs.

don't bring a V6 to V8 fight....

the Z might be better for Auto-X but otherwise the Camaro is the better car in my opinion

That's what I'm thinking also...Or rent a go cart track.

Looks ok for a hatchback...At least it don't look like a catfish butt.

If I wanted a 2 seater well north of 40g that car would never make the cut.

No, 275 lb ft torque isn't enough, that's why they used a 7spd. Use e-brake.

andyrew · 11-24-2008, 04:05 PM

To be honest I built this thread with the thought that it was a 4 seater.

Its not a 4 seater, so its crossed off my list... Nuff said IMHO. I need a 4 seater for a daily driver. So does many other people..

Nissan's are a pain to work on. They are very hose happy on the emissions side of things.

These powerplants and suspension will last longer and be easier and cheaper to maintain over many years. I also think chixx will dig Camaro5 more than the vw bug looking 370.

StoutFiles · 11-24-2008, 04:51 PM

The 370Z is a "cute" car. You will be a "cute" person for buying one.

The Camaro is a manly car. You will be a man for buying one.

nickspohn · 11-24-2008, 04:54 PM

meh, i've never really ben a fan of the 350z, more of the G35. this is almost like a toy car compared to the camaro.

The suspension may last longer, but the LSxs are cheaper and easier to work on by far. 16v Pushrod V8 is a very simple design.

Ya know..... I do have to say this car looks a hell of a lot better then the 350.... or even the G35 and the G37 (which this is a "every mans" version).

But honestly.... the Nissan/Renault V6 just doesnt put out the torque needed to get this thing out of a corner quickly.... maybe with some tweaking.

To everyone claiming one will be better than other...who here has driven both???
