The new Camaro V-8 is going to be low 4 sec 0-60 car. I think it will easily walk on our Z in straight line. And with very good looking exterior/interior while having same price range as ours, its going to be very tight competition.... By the way, did you guys know that the new Camaro will have Angel light available for sports package? it looks so sick.... |

Plugging in the 370Z's numbers give between 4.7 and 4.8 Plugging in the camaro's gives around 4.3 This calculator seems to come in about .1 to.2 faster than real life so 4.5 sec for the camaro should be about right.

I've no doubt that the new Camaro will out-perform a Z (although only somewhat slightly) in a straight line. However, where I live we have curves and I don't believe the new Camaro will outperform a Z on a twisty road even though I'm sure the handling will be quite good.
There are sacrifices made with the kind of weight the Camaro is likely to carry especially with the higher HP powerplants and the beefing-up that's needed to make a vehicle actually handle that kind of HP safely and reliably.
