The guy is lucky you didn't take him up on his "offer". In any case, I'm not sure what he was laughing at...fairly big price tag, an unfortunatley cheap interior and no better/perhaps worse performance compared to the Z (in fact the Camaro isn't even in the same league as the 370 on anything other than a straight road).
From C&D...
CAMARO
0-60: 4.8ssec
1/4 mile:13.3
370Z
0-60: 4.6 sec
1/4 mile: 13.1
Obviously results like this will vary from magazine to magazine; driver to driver; day to day, etc but it's at least apparent the even the "top dog" Camaro (at the moment anyway) has nothing on the 370.
I've owned three Firebirds (1973 Formula 400; 1976 TransAm; 1979 Trans AM) and one Camaro (2001 Z28) so I've nothing against the F-body and I'm glad the Camaro is back but facts are facts.
