You do know the Camaro is (or will be) made in Canada.LOL

It's a great car, but not enough torque or room for me.

I am only buying American brands too.

As far as the GTR, leave it alone already.

Buy a Camaro and forget about the rest.

Nissan fixed the GT-R last month with a new software for the launch control. Instead of the car launching at 4,500 RPM, it launches at 3,500. This is better for the transmission. Also they smoothened up the clutch transaction.

OK- Now on to the 370Z. When I sat in it at the autoshow, I felt cocooned and wrapped in it like i was wearing it. It felt awesome. The Camaro could only dream of an interior like the 370Z's. Also the 370Z has awesome track numbers. 0-60 4.7, Skidpad .99g.

One nice cavalier!

Both the 350Z and the 370Z make me feel like I have been wrapped in a straight jacket and then shoved into a tin can. They are, without a doubt, not a car for me. A friend of mine has a 350Z 'vert and I don't even like to ride in it.

Ill admit the materials used on a Vette are not up to par with other cars in the $$ range, but its done very tastefully.

As for the Z... amazing.

The interiors now are way better than they were of times past. They still have room for improvement though...but I am happily satisfied. My buddy has a LP 640 and that interior is not worthy of the price tag of the car..yeah function over form but give me a break

stovt001 · 03-01-2009, 12:37 PM

The Z is definitely on my list, but I'd probably have to get it used.

A. This means nothing.

B. Thats because only idiots buy lamborghini's. Buy a Ferrari/Aston Martin if your looking to blow that much on a car and make it worth it. Plus the LP560 has the best interior of any lambo.

A. Means Alot
B. If you have it to spend..buy what you want!

A. It doesn't mean anything to anyone except for those who have already owned corvettes. If the prospective buyer had no knowledge of prior corvettes then the only point of reference they could make to compare the car would be similar cars in the $$ range. For example, the GTR, the M3, the RS4, the C63 AMG. And i love the corvette, but as far as interior quality goes i don't think it can hang with any of these cars.

B. Agreed. Its your money, w/e tickles your fancy. BUT, don't complain about the interior quality not living up to the price range when thats what you picked.

C. Its Great to be a Florida Gator
