Nissan 370z vs Chevrolet Camaro, MAN you guys were right.

lemansz20 · 11-02-2009, 09:48 AM

So this weekend we went to the autoshow to pretty much figure out what our next cars are going to be. My gf, was looking between the audi A5, lexus is250c, infiniti G37 vert, and the camaro. I was looking at the camaro and 370z, possibly the g37.

I have been reading on this forum and others about the camaro, and man alot of you guys were right. The outside of the car seriously i think looks great as well as my gf. Its when we went inside the car, and what a turn off. I cant believe how cheap the camaro interior looked and felt. My g/f went to feel the dash, and it bent in.

I was just amazed that they could built such a beautiful car, and skimp so much on the part that the customer sees everyday.

We are now going to test drive the cars, but looks like the lexus or G for her. I am sticking with the 370. I loved the interior over my old 350z thats for sure, and it felt like some thought was put into it. THe driving position feels wonderful on the car, and I now cannot wait to drive it. I am hoping the clutch isnt a girly clutch, b/c the auto show only had an auto.

I was hoping for a vert to be there, but nissan I guess didnt have any here yet in miami so they couldnt bring any to the show.

You guys are all very lucky, and I hopefully will be joining you soon. God bless.

I was looking at similar cars such as IS350, C350, A5, G37, etc with my gf also and believe it or not, she chose the Z over all of em.

6spd · 11-02-2009, 09:54 AM

i was this '' close to buying a camaro... until i test drove it. its very hard to find a dealer willing to let you drive one, but i was willing to buy it that night if they let me drive it and i liked it. well... i didnt and now i have a Z. i cant tell you how disappointing the camaro is from a workmanship/quality control stand point. from the cracked paint where body panels come together, to the misaligned doors, to the unfinished paint under the hood, its just a mess. not to mention how crappy it feels to drive, especially the drivetrain. yuck.

looks great though!

lemansz20 · 11-02-2009, 09:56 AM

Oh and here are some pics, the lotus evora if I had the money would be in my garage. THe g/f loved it over the porsches( lucky me) and the car really is gorgeous and I think I can actually fit in this one as I am not a fat guy, but a big guy and the elise was just way to small. The camaro had transformers all over it, i guess some special edition, and the other car I guess is the future of the corvette. It looked pretty interesting, but was grabbing alot of attention thats for sure, took me forever to get that one shot.

lemansz20 · 11-02-2009, 10:03 AM

She wants to at least have 4 seats so we gotta get her the useful car, and Ill have the useless one. The Z i sold b/c I got into some higher end cars, and then well I met her and got rid of everything to buy a place so now I have to budjet a little. Honestly the Z is just a great car, and after the cars I have had in the past and I am pretty young, I have never had more fun in a car then my old 350z. To me, I need to have a fun car to drive, not the most comfortable or the fastest as I know that now. THe Z nails everything for my needs, and my g/f just needs something not boring slow like a civic, but nice and comfortable and it has to look and feel nice to her.( w/e that means lol) I think the lexus will be the car for her, as the G37 vert trunk is kinda small, and since her car is going to be the useful one, trunk space is a little important.

I just need to squeeze a hockey bag in my z haha.

JungleB · 11-02-2009, 10:06 AM

There is a Transformers option for the Camaro. If you go to Chevy's website and build one you'll see it listed.

lemansz20 · 11-02-2009, 10:17 AM

Heres a pic of it on the hood, man hollywood gets the point across anywhere now haha

Lug · 11-02-2009, 10:45 AM

Turns out this guy has a better fit and finish than the stock camaro...

lemansz20 · 11-02-2009, 11:24 AM

lmao, that is awesome and I would have to agree, i bet their are better materials used to get that costume done.

feelzpwr91 · 11-02-2009, 11:33 AM

good luck man!
370's lead the way

Justin1686 · 11-02-2009, 11:43 AM

yeah, my next door neighbor has a brand new camaro in black, first off, such a bad choice of color on that car lol, but yes, its very nice exterior, interior, what were they thinking?.

Def go with the 370, you wont regret it. As for your wife, i was looking almost the same cars myself before i got my Z, the A5 & g37, style wise, the A5 is a beautiful car, even inside, its just if you car about power, you need to step up to the bigger engine, but as far as drivability in my opinion, the A5 is better then the G.

kannibul · 11-02-2009, 11:52 AM

Go for the G37 coupe...

Same engine, more "girl friendly"

One other tip...don't co-sign for her...either you buy it, and let her drive it, or, she buys it and drives it...unless you've been together for 5 years or longer, have been through financial issues together, and work well together on issues...
