Rented a Camaro 2SS for the hell of it this wkend. unbiased review

We got better times in our camaro than the smaller, lighter miatas, minis, and hondas. The track was not set up for long straights either. Most of it was slalom and S turns.

Having both the Camaro and the 370z I'll say I enjoy my 370z far more but only because thats what I'm used to. From the age of 17 I've had Z's. Got my 300zx at 17, bouth my 280z at 18, and just recently got my 370z (had a WRX for a little while in between there). The Camaro to me just has a different feel but is still a worthy car. My favorite feature of the camaro is launch control. Just slap it in first and pop the clutch and you get a perfect launch every time. So easy.

I'll close with this. The Camaro could learn a few tricks from the Z but the Z could also learn a few tricks from the Camaro. Lastly, to the OP, we got our fully loaded 2SS for 34k. No need to wait for a year or more for rebates and stuff. There are deals to be made out there, you just have to look for them

Someone mentioned that they were on the border of losing control in rhe camaro. Interesting. I had read that in magazines as well. I did some interesting burnouts, donuts and wild launches but what I always had was control. The car seemed to do what I say at all times. I was only limited by its enormous size. That was my biggest issue.
