Namir 04-13-2009 09:01 PM

The new Camaro has been played out since about a year before release. They've been flaunting that car for years and finally are putting it out there... It's already old and tired.

Agree. I was a huge camaro fan, but I haven't even seen one on the street, and I'm already sick of seeing it, lol.
The interior is a train-wreck of ugly plastic, which I wasn't willing to put up with this time.

Not to mention it gained 400lbs since the last camaro. http://www.coolbuddy.com/icon/animals/ico_Pig08.gif

Ask your self this question! Would you buy a car from a company that may go bankrupt?
The assembly line workers morale has to be down! They could be unemployed tomorrow! They are not going to give 100% effort into building cars knowing that. You could end up with a piece of junk, or a lemon!

frost 04-13-2009 10:23 PM

^ It's GM, so it had a 50/50 shot of being a lemon anyway:roflpuke2:

BanningZ 04-13-2009 10:23 PM

I'd test drive both first then make your decision. Has anyone here driven the new Camaro?

If you were asking me personally to choose for you then I would skip the bloated tank and buy the Z.

frost 04-13-2009 10:29 PM

They had a couple test ones that were getting shipped between a few dealerships here. They wouldn't let us drive, but the sales guy took us for a drive. No doubt it's fast, and if that's all you're looking for, go for it.

Brazilbro 04-13-2009 10:32 PM

only american car you should ever buy is a C6

frost 04-13-2009 10:34 PM

^ had one of those, crappy interior as well. 370 blows it away. And it doesn't even perform as well on the skidpad as the Z.

CrownR426 04-13-2009 10:35 PM

Get the camaro so I can beat your ***!

victort 04-14-2009 01:47 AM

get a camero. simple as that

xDIEGOx 04-14-2009 03:42 AM

Horsepower: Camaro
Torque: Camaro
Handling: 370Z
Weight: 370Z
1/4 Mile: Camaro
0-60: Camaro
Road Coarse: 370Z
Skidpad: 370Z
Braking: 370Z
$ to mod ratio: Camaro
Reliability: 370Z
Interior: Debatable (370Z for me)
Exterior: Debatable (370Z for me)
Back Seats: Camaro

Personally I'd go with the 370Z because I want more than just straight line power. Now if you just want all out power and want the best money to mod ratio then go with the Camaro. I like the Camaro, it's just the thought of everyone and their mom having the weaksauce V6 version that doesn't make me consider the Camaro anymore. It'll be a dime a dozen.

tvfreakazoid 04-14-2009 03:52 AM

Test drive both of them and then make your decision. Plus do you want a 4 seater or a 2 seater!

juan05 04-14-2009 06:04 AM

i actually had this dilema. but im actually going to go with the 370z because first its brand new design. it hasent had 87687687 prototypes. the japanesse quality is really great. the camero inside not really liking it because the sterring wheel is so damn big and im just a 2 seats kinda guy. i dont like giving nobody a ride. 370z i belive is more of a solid car.

cg370z 04-14-2009 08:52 AM

GM makes some nice looking cars, but you can pretty much bet the interior will be horrible, with tons of hard cheap plastic, and over time peices will rattle and fade much faster than on the Z. If you buy a Z, you'll get a much better build quality, and a more unique driving experience. If you buy a camero, you'll get something that EVERYONE will have in the next year or two... just like with the mustang. Definately go with the Z.

StLRedrider 04-14-2009 09:16 AM

Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz:leghump:

SiXK 04-14-2009 09:41 AM

I say go for the camaro.

o0javi0o 04-14-2009 09:58 AM

Go for the Z, all the way.
Give 2 years to the Camaro, and you will have mechanical problems and a cheap plastic interior pos...
GM :gtfo2:... wuuuuuuuu American Muscle.... blah.

Forumite 04-14-2009 01:25 PM

I also say you should wait and drive both. None of us know what you really want in a car, we all have different tastes and obviously different opinions.

I still love my american muscle, not sure if the Camero is enough for me though. Best of luck!

This is the best answer anyone can give. Please ignore all other biased opinions.

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

frost 04-14-2009 08:01 PM

I count 10 opinions that aren't Z biased, not too bad actually :tup:

Pushing_Tin 04-15-2009 12:17 AM

I also say if you can wait, drive both and then maybe even the new Mustang and Genesis Coupe too. I really like the looks of the Camaro, I was turned off by GM's troubles and didn't want to wait until summer or fall for a new car.

frost 04-15-2009 12:21 AM

I wouldn't buy any car without test driving a couple. That's a good way to kick yourself later.

mcheddadi 04-15-2009 01:27 AM

The new Camaro is straight line acceleration and more interior space.

The 370z is you and your gf in the ride of your life :D

Well, I didnt test drive any other car besides the 370 when I bought it. For as much as I like cars there are only a few I would actually buy.

ssqpolo 04-15-2009 08:01 AM

i think the genesis is right for you...great perforamance...and more space!:tup::tup::wtf2:

XBadgerX 04-16-2009 09:11 AM

Please, get Camaro....

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.

ssqpolo 04-16-2009 11:30 AM

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.

what do u mean purchasing a car regardless of who makes it and how its made???....that's how most people do it!

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.
