GM:gtfo2: :owned:370z alll the way!!!

1) Even though you fat fingered it, you were going to spell Camaro, "Camero" - bravo
2) You honestly think the 350HP Nismo Z is going to be a huge difference on acceleration?
3) Jappanese? Besides, keep the bias out of the post

God, what is with all these people who have NO idea what they are talking about tossing in their two cents? Please spare us from writing a review on any car - you're more biased than Top Gear reviewing an Aston Martin...

Whatever happened to purchasing a car for its abilities, rather than who makes it, or where it was made?

Its not limited, and it isn't rare. You may as well lose all hope now...

Go get a GT-R if you want that.

Hey, someone's gotta hold it down for the Nissan 370Z28...

mightybobo--Whatever happened to purchasing a car for its abilities, rather than who makes it, or where it was made?

in that case, we would all have caterham cars because they have amazing ability. what do u mean purchasing a car regardless of who makes it and how its made???....that's how most people do it! The camaro is a cool looking car, but like most all of american cars, they use that cheap plastic interior and body panels and the car will probably fall apart in a couple of years. i had a dodge magnum, brand new. in one year, the underpanels of my car flew off going down the turnpike (no i didnt hit anything or damage it). the interior looked cool at first, but in a couple of months you realize how cheap the quality of everything is. moreover, after 2 and a half yrs and 45000 miles, i thought the thing was gonna die if i drove it any more (i kept it well maintained, so dont blame it on that). where a car is made and who makes it makes a hugggggggggeeeeeeeee difference when purchasing a car. thats why many people buy honda accords and toyota camrys. those things last forever! even after yrs of abuse. after 1000000 miles on a camry, u might only have to change a timing belt.

and about Bias...this is a 370Z forum. we are here because we admire and adore THIS specific car. obviously we're gonna have bias towards it.

"2) You honestly think the 350HP Nismo Z is going to be a huge difference on acceleration?"--MightBOBO...considering the Nismo Z has an all new exhaust, i think it will make a difference. maybe not 0-60 so much (i think thats a poor test anyway), but maybe in the 1/4 mile. We saw someone in another thread run a 13.4 in the 1/4...then added those stillen intakes and run almost a 13.1. Thats a HUGE performace leap.

for the OP, when buying a car, look at the looks, the quality, and performance. Whichever one YOU feel is best suited for you, pick it. dont worry what other people will say or think is better. there will always be haters. If u like the camaro...pick it (that's if it ever comes out). It's a cool looking car.

No, we wouldn't - you'd buy the best car in the segment for whatever your specific desires are.

I mean, you shouldn't buy a car because its Japanese or because BMW makes it. You should be buying whatever has the features that you want. If I bought the car that I wanted purely based off what I usually get (a GM vehicle of some sort), I'd have purchased the new Camaro. Sadly, its ABILITIES didn't meet my needs - a better HANDLING car. I wasn't looking for power specifically, this time.

The camaro is a cool looking car, but like most all of american cars, they use that cheap plastic interior and body panels and the car will probably fall apart in a couple of years.

Stereotyping and biased. Ive owned many GM vehicles, and none have "fallen apart in a couple years". Just because it happened to you, doesn't mean it happens to everyone. So how about them engine cooling issues in a car that was designed as a SPORTS CAR, and squeaks and rattles people have been complaining about for the 370? Things like this happen to ALL vehicles!

where a car is made and who makes it makes a hugggggggggeeeeeeeee difference when purchasing a car.

No, it doesn't - reliability varies across the board. Look at Mercedes reliability, or Suzuki - thats Japanese made, and its reliability on average is piss pour compared to Toyota/Honda. Location means nothing.

thats why many people buy honda accords and toyota camrys. those things last forever! even after yrs of abuse. after 1000000 miles on a camry, u might only have to change a timing belt.

Stereotyping, blanket statements, and just plain wrong.

and about Bias...this is a 370Z forum. we are here because we admire and adore THIS specific car. obviously we're gonna have bias towards it.

A true car enthusiast can appreciate ANY car for what it is, and the most important thing is to be able to acknowledge the faults in your "favorite" car. The 370 has plenty of them.

"2) You honestly think the 350HP Nismo Z is going to be a huge difference on acceleration?"--MightBOBO...considering the Nismo Z has an all new exhaust, i think it will make a difference. maybe not 0-60 so much (i think thats a poor test anyway), but maybe in the 1/4 mile.

No, its not a huge performance leap. If you think 18 crank HP is big, you're wrong, sorry. And dollar for dollar, mod for mod, you're barking up the wrong tree in a mod war versus a small block chevy. Besides, you cant even argue anything other than a stock car here, because opening the argument up to mods would quickly lose control.

We saw someone in another thread run a 13.4 in the 1/4...then added those stillen intakes and run almost a 13.1. Thats a HUGE performace leap.

Just because they ran a 13.4 once, doesnt mean they couldnt have run faster. Some 4th gen F-bodies ran 12.9's stock. Others, depending on the drivers skill and the track, could barely crack mid 13's. Drag strip times have FAR too many variables.

Nuff said.

I actually joined the forum because I wanted to be fully knowledgeable/aware about the car, not because I am a fan boy.

But Bobo pretty much summed up everything else.

Brandon26pdx 04-16-2009 05:43 PM

Not really in the same class anyway. 370Z is a true sports car, like C6 Vette. Camaro is a 2+2 GT coupe, like G37S.

scruffydog 04-17-2009 01:10 AM

the new camero is suppose to be super fast...and I mean hella hella quick. But that's if Chevy still decides to go forward with releasing it to production due to their bailout.

I personally love both cars, but they're two different types of car. A 370z is more like a sports car and the Camero is a remake of the beautiful classic muscle car. If gas isn't a concern, then sure get the gas muncher...but I would personally would get the Z because it's much more efficient and provides all the power and performance you need for a day to day car. Speaking of performance, I believe the Z can totally out handle the Camero on a track. Then again, this all depends if you even track your car or do you just drag racing or love taking everyone down on the freeway.

By the way, Nissan 350Z's interior was cheap as hell....as much as i hate to admit it, Nissan isn't much better than most American made cars when it comes to their interior designs - they all suck and look bulky! I would have to agree that not all Japanese cars are great. I currently own a Lexus and I seriously think Nissan's got ways to catch up even when compared to my other car which is an old Honda Accord. But I am glad that they did improve the new 370Z's interior.

Well I wouldnt quite call 0-60 in the mid-4's as "hella quick" - but it'll boogie, thats for sure. Its the fastest muscle car throw-back right now, and it'll be very easy to mod to be made ridiculously fast. Chevy wont stop its release - they're already made, and with how many pre-orders they have on it, it'd be foolish NOT to sell it. Honestly I hope they sell like hot cakes, Chevy needs a "success".

If I didnt want a car that I was going to road course the **** out of, right now I'd have a new Camaro on order. No doubt about it. I like the looks, and I like its performance. The only downside is the fact that its too bulky to track. Sad really, but on the other hand, how many muscle cars are made for the road course?

Ironically, you make a very valid point about out handling the Camaro on the track, scruffy. The Camaro will, more than likely, handle just as well as the 370 on the road considering how LITTLE people push their cars to the limit lol. The Camaro will be more than enough car for MANY people.

OK, time to play devil's advocate on gas mileage though - I know Im a bit of a spirited driver, but even then Im still only getting 20-21 MPG around town (in Sport mode, admittedly). Thats not THAT amazing :). Most people would be shocked how efficient GM's SBC really can be...

And on a lighter note, I think my signature is seriously making people forget...its spelled CamAro!
