For those that are willing to spend 30k for a 2 seat car, the 370z fits the bill if you like the styling. I think you will see a lot more Camaro v6's out there because they cost 7k less and although not as quick, to me it is a more useful all around car. In reality, the feel of the v6 will be similar in both cars until you really get up in the rpm range.

Also, I did not see the curb weight listed, did I miss something?
I agree with most of what you said except the feel of both Camaro's will be different and noticeably so.. Yes going 15mph you won't notice a difference hit the gass, take a sharp turn and you will...
