If it were purely a case of HP:$, or Power:Weight, every enthusiast would drive the same car. Given the high number of Mustangs on the road these days, we can see what's driving a lot of people's decisions, and we can expect that to tip in the favour of Camaro purely on power per dollar, and even power:weight ratios.

It depends on what we consider valuable.
Too many people are just looking at the HP as the determining factor for performance. Those who criticize the Z like to point out the lack of HP for the buck, in comparison. Hey that's fine, it's not the most practical price point, but there is no denying the Z's handling. Those who criticize usually haven't been in a Z.

Every time I give friends a joy ride for the first time, I purposely push the turns and they're hanging on for dear life, with a facial expression of WTF was that!, and wet the seats out of excitement. Thank goodness for suede protection.

But guess it's all about who makes it faster to the next traffic light. And if that's the most important thing to the OP, so be it, whatever makes him happy. Just don't underestimate the Z's strong points.

On another note... out of seeing hundreds of Camaros on the street, I've only seen like 8 370zs, and 2 Nismos (not including mine) in my daily drives. I like the uniqueness. But that's my opinion.
