No, but that is why I don't buy one.

I sat in one at the auto show, and I felt like I was sitting on the floor. I'm 6 feet tall and I felt like I couldn't see over the dash and hood. The view out of the Z was so much better. Plus the interior was as hard-plasticy as the 350Z. Cool design for the interior, but crap materials.

I like the camaros, mainly because of the engine and its mod potential (and the lovely sound of a V8). Bolt ons should free a lot of power from that engine. But for me it's more than just about straight-line speed. It's about the whole driving experience. And in the regard, the Z wins hands down, imo.

I sat one too, and felt embarrassed for GM putting out such a horrible interior. I think comparing it to the 350 is giving it too much credit. But I had cars with ls1s, ls2s, and ls6s; and if you want a damn fast car that can net serious gains just from bolt ons, it's a winner. I'm just at a point in life where I am willing to sacrifice some HP for a lot more quality.
