Camaro board "Z only real competitor"

G8 GXP is a nice car. Designed in Australia as a derivative of the Holden Commodore for the US market. Unfortunately as Pontiac is no more they killed the car, although there is rumors it may return at some point under the GM/Chevy name.

The most objectionable thing I feel on the Challenger is just how massive and plain the sides are, they are basically one clean wall of metal and make the car look larger than it is. If the whole car shrunk slightly, it would be perfect especially with the 6 speed manual.

Yeah, the Challenger just looks fat. Its waaay too tall.

wishihadnav · 01-13-2011, 02:39 PM

id take a camaro over a stang in a heartbeat.

As for me, I would take Mustang over Camaro especially the Shelby model. Camaro looks flashy outside and muscular looking... But oh boy, inside, let's not talk about it. = Metal outside = Plastic inside...

Needless to say, I would stay with my 370. My friend who owns Porsche always dream about owning a Z whenever he sees my car. What's up with that?

I hate pretty much every porsche.

I only kinda like the Carrera GT.

CERBERUSlucid · 01-13-2011, 03:57 PM

Thankx for the good read =)

Vegitto-kun · 01-13-2011, 03:59 PM

out of the main american muscles I do have to admit that I like the camaro the most. I hate the butt of the mustang.

Endgame · 01-13-2011, 04:08 PM

I think the Stang takes it by far.... I saw a black 5.0 that was lowered some this past Saturday. WOW. it looked and sounded great.

Vegitto-kun · 01-13-2011, 04:12 PM

I just don't like the butt especially that bigass GT badge

m4a1mustang · 01-13-2011, 06:30 PM

I have plenty of seat time as well. I have no doubt the Brembo 5.0 is the faster car stock-for-stock around a track. It's better balanced, has better brakes, and can put the power down a lot better for a nice exit.

It drives much differently than the Z, though. I'd say it's a lot harder to drive the 5.0 fast than it is the Z.

The only place I could see the Z having an advantage is in Auto X. Lighter, shorter wheel base, and more nimble. Everywhere else the Brembo 5.0 has the edge.

Not knocking on the Z at all... just sharing my experience.
