Nissan 370Z Forum - View Single Post - making the switch to a Z, but have a concern

Next gen Z is unlikely to be available before 2016.

Relative to your Camaro, the Z will feel much more nimble, but also less torquey (of course, if you want to spring for FI, the sky's the limit).

Stock (or lightly NA modded) the Z is a very capable all around sports car, but it is NOT a powerhouse, relative to a built V8 muscle car.

I'd go with a 2012 over a 2013 -- the small differences between the two are mainly cosmetic, and the 2012's should be available for a few grand less.

Test drive one and see what you think -- good luck!
