Good taste is a rare commodity. Thus the Z's are rare.

I just had a trucker get out of his rig parked in a Walmart Parking lot and peruse my 2011. I don't imagine that too many Camaro owners ever see that.

Domestic owners = more car for the money mentality and like the meme magnet. It is a practical and powerful car the masses.
Z owners = Ok with the 2 seater and is incredibly impractical.
Me = I don't like any other passenger than the one beside me and totally impractical.
I've resigned to the fact that domestics are butt ugly even with the power and handling. That's just me. Oh, the only thing that would make me reconsider is not even a muscle car -- it's the Focus RS.

Question to OP specifically -

Other than your specific lemon car situation, what don't you like about the camaro? What does a 370z give you that a Camaro doesn't?

Just trying to get away from American cars and my troubled Camaro. I like to highway cruise in my Camaro because its roomy, comfortable, and feels pretty good to drive in that situation. But anything else, it feels big, laggy and if I give it too much gas, I am afraid it might fall apart. Haha. I got it for it's aggressive low profile look. I really dislike Chevy. I grew up with Toyotas. I have looked at the FR-S and BRZ, but they don't quite have enough power.

Ok, maybe I took your comments wrong. It seemed to me you were trolling and putting down the Z by suggesting it was not a desireable sports car for whatever reason, and trying to get the forum members to agree with you. So, I take back what I said. 😔

Expensive, Impractible, Loud, Rough, Horrible Visibility, Inefficient, low production numbers..the list could go on, but drive one on a twisty road with the windows down and exhaust roaring and puts a grin on your face from ear to ear.

The Z has taught me that i prefer rareness over simply a quick car. Hence why I was a Volvo S60 Polestar as my DD.

I didn't know they actually released polestars. I thought they were just concepts

Yea. 2-3 years ago i believe. I have yet to see one on the roads here yet. They're affordable for very lightly used models also. I'm really tempted.
