Anyone go from camaro to z

red6spd

For some reason people cant or dont want to understand the fact that a SS is not much faster then the Z considering the 90 or so HP difference and the million LB's or TQ difference. And lets not forget the Z was not made to be a stop light warrior where the Camaro was, so I'm getting a little tired hearing about how the Z is underpowered and how it should have more HP for the price. I considered a Camaro for maybe 5 minutes before buying my Z. The thing is huge!! Ugly and just cheap looking with its vake vents and louvers. Ever look at the back of one? you can see the ugly mufflers and crap, it looks like they forgot to finish it. Oh and the condensation in the reverse lights where a little bit of a turn off. Just to add a little bit more insult to injury, did you guys know the new SS Convert weights 4100 pounds!!!!!!!!

1. The Z is not almost as fast as a camaro and the power variables change drastically when modded. The Z goes to 60 somewhere in a range of 4.6 to 5.3 seconds depending on a lot of variables. There hasn't been a camaro tested that has gone slower than 4.9. The camaro quarters between 12.8 and 13.0. The Z quarters in 13.1 to 13.5 depending on cariables.
2. The camaro with a simple intake exhaust and tune that costs around $1400 total will net you quarter times in the 12.5 range and that doesn't include headers or other mods to the engine and tranny. The Z mod parts cost double for half the power and acceleration.
3. Looks are subjective. And who puts louvers and crap on cars anymore??? That's mulletastic. The Z is a superior handler but the 2 cars serve 2 different purposes.
4.4100 lb convertible... well there are only a handful of true performance convertibles. Most convertibles I consider them to be novelty cars anyway, not true sports cars in most cases. Either way you gotta give chevy credit cuz they only lost 1/10th of a second making the convert.

Whenever I rent the camaro SS I get around 20mpg. I rent the auto. And I beat it up since its a rental. Lol. The camaro has its issues and its a hard sale for me as well but 2012 is sounding good woth hp bumps and I personally think the camaro is cool but I do love the Z over the camaro. As it stands today my money would still go to the Z.
