They used a wrong picture for the Nismo 370z, which makes me wonder if they even used the right Nismo 370z or did they use a Nismo S-Tune 370z.

Also, I'm not surprised that they claim the Camaro SS is noticeably faster, afterall....the Camaro SS has a much bigger size Engine so if the 370z can have as close of a lap time and acceleration, more pts should be going to the 370z.

By the way, I can't believe the scoop in the front bumper of the Camaro SS is a fake. Unless the Camaro V6 3.6L can perform nearly as well as the 370z, which I can bet it cannot....I'm all for the Z. I can appreciate American Muscle, but it's just not for me. Because in the end of the day, what's stopping Nissan in coming out with a massive V8 engine like the Camaro SS (almost twice the size of the Z) just to prove that the Z can perform better.

Also, like I said previous from my experience from testing the car....the article you provided didn't miss a thing

Interior Design and Special Features

"On the downside, there are a few ergonomic annoyances. The steering wheel is overstyled and doesn't fit human hands the way it should; the same goes for the bizarrely shaped manual shift knob. We also dislike the main gauges (they're hard to read) and the dead pedal (it isn't angled properly for comfortable cruising). Other issues include lackluster interior materials quality, the lack of an optional factory navigation system and the Camaro's tiny trunk opening, making loading elongated objects an exercise in frustration (golfers be warned). Backseat comfort is marginal, as you'd expect -- there's a shortage of headroom and legroom, so don't expect to use the rear quarters for more than short trips. The rear seats don't fold down, but there's a trunk pass-through."

I seriously did not get this vibe with the 370z; of course it doesn't have backseat-boo (but that's why you'd get a G37S), but I loved everything they did with the Z since the 350z.
