I wish GTA was advertising with Nissan instead of NFS. Makes sense, since a 370Z is not for EVERYONE, but for MATURE audiences only.

Ok my 4th gen was stolen not too long ago and it has put a dent in my Camaro future. 1. My insurance is going up now because some jackass stole my car. 2. I can only have a rental until the 28th of this month which leaves me with no car until march and no way to commute or go anywhere on my own until march. This 370Z's looks weren't my favorite at all, but they have grown on me A LOT. And now that I see this price with what you get, it seems like a really nice buy and alternative to getting it. I LOVE the Camaro and still want my 2SS...I just hope that my patience can hold out till March.



Sorry for the rant.

BUT since GM is going through a tough time, I think I can get used to 422hp.
Dynamic 50/50 weight balance is a marketing gimmick. Of course the car shifts the weight to the rear under acceleration. The amount of acceleration determines the amount of weight shift, sounds more like marketing than engineering to me. I wish Chevy had a similar car but in reality the Camaro is a much larger 4 seat coupe that compares better to the Infinity G37 than the 370z. 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...

No, what I meant is that the feel of the V6 in the camaro V6 and in the 370z will be similar. That was my point, that nothing has the feel of a v8-especially an LS motor.

It's funny that NFS game sucks. IGN gave it a 4 out of 10 rating.
