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.
I agree. In my eyes, and perhaps in the eyes of most Z (or similar niche-car) owners, the biggest enemy to Camaro and Mustang desirability is how common they are. You can find fleets of them in rental-lots!

It's all about personal value-judgments. And for some, it really is "... all about who makes it faster to the next traffic light."
