AND GUESS WHAT YOUR CAMARO IS EMPLOYING CANADIANS, NOT AMERICANS. The end result is feeding an American car company, but lets not kid ourselves here, its not an American built car.

And lastly this is a Camaro site, thank you captain obvious, but lets not forget that this is also a CAR enthusiasts site as well. Dont be so hard on a car you have obviously never driven and quit being a fanboy.
look at the g8 gxp and you will know the truth

I agree, the corvette's interior leaves something to desire.. I don't know why the Vette team doesn't hire the Cadillac team since their interiors look a whole lot nicer..

I'm all about owning something nobody else has (or at least not 300,000 other people per year)
:P

However, bench racing is just that...people talking about what's better based on nothing but mag articles and hearsay.
It's weak.

The 370Z is made for handling, and in that, will b!tchslap a Camaro in corners like an abused stepchild.

And the camaros will undoubtedly stomp 370Zs on the dragstrip.



End of story.
the mustang win in the drift competion and the z have lost where all the handle and the great power gone they say''this is the z drifter'' where is the drifter it's bullshit the z are like shit here in kuwait even the aurion v6 with intake and tune it pass the z in drag race what a sham a v6 car with a 4 door with a less price beat the hell out of the z because it's a sick car.:t humbdown::thumbdo wn:: barf::ba rf:

but i don't know about the new one because it didn't come here to kuwait until now.

If you highly doubt the SS will run a 12.8 then you must have a severe comprehension problem. Second, the camaro with the suspension set up it has and the near 50/50 weight distribution will make it a very capable road race car. Not to mention tons of torque for exiting corners.

I KNOW WHERE MY CAMARO WILL BE BUILT! It is still built by a company that uses American suppliers in a country that gives it's fair share back to the American economy. I already read your opinion on the vette interior so I know that you believe the bullcrap that the auto media says about American cars. Here's a little info for you, almost all leather interiors, American or Foreign, are made mostly of vinyl. That's just the way it is. If you want 100% leather in a vette then plan to pay Ferrari prices because that's one of the few cars that use all leather on their seats. Have you ever sat in a C6 vette? The interior feels pretty good to me, no worse than the 370Z.

I think I would kinda reject the premise that the Camaro has to be more performance than the Z.

Try working on it after the warranty expires. I hope your pockets are deep.

Just the vac hoses on all Z's are LOL (suck.. too many hoses etc).

The 370 is a good looking car (got to sit in one recently), will definitely drive one when I’m in the market for a fun/toy/superfluous 2nd car.

I saw the Pontiac Coupe at the auto show recently, fine looking car although it hasn’t reviewed well in the recent mags. May still try that one too, assuming Pontiac is still around.

Hmf. We'll see about who's right when the numbers come out. Because...(unfortunately for some of you, I guess), it HAS ran a 12.5...of course this was with a great driver, but the potential is DEFINITELY there...and you're all underestimating it a great deal, imo with no CAMARO facts to back yourselves up......

370z...psh!
