370z or Camaro SS

quadsbaby · 01-06-2010, 04:59 PM

Test drive them both and make up your own mind. I test drove the Camaro and really liked it, but when I test drove the Z it was like falling in love.

here is the question I pose for you: Would it bother you to see your car, same color, model, trim, etc. at every intersection you pull up to and 3 others in the crossing lanes? The Camaro is the new Mustang, everyone has to have one, the Z has been out long before the new Camaro, and I'm already seeing them populate the streets like Mustangs, I've had my car for 7 months and seen 6 370's city wide, personally I hope you go with the Camaro, less Z's equals more exclusivity for the rest of us.

haha honestly I have only seen a couple of both. The thing I like most aout th Z is the technology thats behind it and in it. I hated the 350z. Diff was crap, engine wasn't great, seemed to lack power. The 370z seems to have gotten everything right. Plus the key fob is sweet haha.

You obviously have no idea what you are talking about saying the 350z had a bad engine

I am not going to lie, I have only been so-so on the camaro from the start. but I did think they looked cool - at first. the more I see them the less impressed I am with their look. I think its the whole "retro" deal. looks good when you first see it but gets old quick. I don't know, could be just me, but I wonder how well that car ages.

on the other hand, with the 370Z I thought Nissan did a good job of incorporating retro touches into a very modern looking car.

Basically, you probably can't take a single valuable thing from my post. i just wanted to write something on this topic.

As a z owner for the last 11yrs and current owner of a 280z, 300zx, and 370z I enjoyed my test drive of the Camaro. Not as nimble but still handles decently. Love the exhuast and acceleration. The interior doesn't seem all that bad to me either. Your best bet is to just go drive both and see what you like better.

stop wasting my time. no comparison, Z is better.

My first post was a little rough, so let me rephrase:
Picking your own car is one of the few freedoms we have left. Be a patriot, pick your own car. You don't want to listen to people on a msg board anyway.

OldGuy · 01-06-2010, 08:25 PM

My current Z is the 3rd Nissan I've owned---first two were trouble free and reliable for many years. My '09 Z--- so far no problems. I've also bought 3 brand new Chevys, an expensive new Cadillac and 2 new Oldsmobiles and have consistently had far more reliability issues with them than I should have (I gave GM way too many chances). Two were first year models (as is the Camaro) and they were significantly troubled. There's nothing worse than fighting with GM. I'd go with the Nissan and reasonably expect and receive a lot of years of trouble-free and reliable service from the Z.

By "be a patiot"...know that both cars are not made is the USA, before you make your selection.

When I said be a patriot, I was referring to using his freedom to make his own choices. I'm perfectly aware of where both cars come from.

I know that you know...but others might not!
