I agree, but even so.. If the Camaro had been capable of some amazing lap time im sure we all would have heard about it.
Just for the record, the 911 which the 370z kept pace with set a 7:59 nurburgring lap time.

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."
