Well I guess you have to decide between Japanese sports car or Canadian muscle.

For your particular concern I would say get an Evo X. Or, as someone else stated, a G37S.

I test drove the Camero 2SS last week when I was browsing around for cars. I've already have my heart set on the 370z Sports + Touring + Nav, but I figured it doesn't hurt to see my other options around $40K.

The Camero 2SS was the top notch version at the dealership; the one i test drove was black and had some $3,400 21" Factory option rims on it - crazy...so not worth the price. The MSRP was $45K. So without the rims add-on, it's really apples to apples I'm comparing against with the fully loaded 370z ($41K).

Anyways, although the exterior of the Camero 2SS looks really mean and agressive, even if you don't make this a Daily Driver...the interior was really really cheaply made. Japanese just knows how to keep the interior exciting. The interior not only wasn't exciting, it reminded me of those American rental cars. Just the center console and everything. The gauges are not put in a conveniently visible location like the 370z. The front and Rear windshield is totally small from the inside - I can understand the rear being small since the 370z isn't that much better, but the front windshield is totally squashed vertically. The Camero was really really hard to see through. Also, it may seem like a bigger car from the outside...the trunk access for the Camero is ridiculous, it has a super small opening compared to the actual trunk size. Plus, the best thing they have for NAV is their stupid ON STAR system, no Factory NAV even if you want it. Enought about the interior, so I test drove it, unfortunately AUTO Transmission was all they have...the handling around a sharp turn was really good. It grip just like the 370z, but the acceleration was a dissappointment to me because I was expecting it to be much quicker considering they put the 400 hp Corvette Engine in it - but the car was too heavy.

So my verdict is that the 370z is a better car for me. Hope this helps.

By the way, I test drove other cars such as Porsche and BMWs and I find the interiors of German cars relatively boring as well. The 1 series BMW was practically the same layout since it's previous generations. And the funny part is it doesn't change much from 1 series to an M3, 5 series, or 7 series. They all look the same and very interesting layout. And same with Porsche, their Cayman and Boxster is pretty much the same....but I guess if you're in love with the car itself, I can understand these little minor details don't matter. A BMW is still a BMW and a Porsche is still a Porsche.

I'm not sure if this helps, but I saw a guy driving a new Camaro through a parking lot today. He had a stupid little hat on which was pulled down so low that his piggy eyes could barely been seen, but you could tell he was definately glaring at people. He immediately struck me as somebody who beats his girlfriend and dog, watches dumba$$ movies and drinks sh*tty cheap beer. Also struck me as somebody who probably had crappy tattoos done as a teenager and regrets each and every one of them. Which is probably why he beats his dog.

You're welcome!

haha... hat with the straight brim maybe curved up at the end. I bet he also had a nautical star tattoo (even though he's never been anywhere near the ocean) and a couple swallows (so "jailhouse" generic) tattoo.

That's nothing compared to what I saw happening with a 370z
