I have no idea what kind of deal you can get on one, i am talking sticker price only.

regardless, i can't imagine paying $40K for a camaro, so, to me, a camaro priced in the high $30's is not a bargain but instead is the highest price I could imagine for that car. people that like camaros may think $40K would still be a good deal. just my .02.
True I dont think there should be a 40k Camaro either same as I dont think their should be a 40k 370z ( at least a 40k V6 Z ). Which is why I'm glad they both have base versions that keep the main features and come in at the low 30's.

I don't think adding the gound effects kit is a fair comparison. Most of the new f-body owners are not getting it. Using that logic would be equivalent to tacking on a bunch of dealer installed NISMO options and saying the Z is over $40k. Not the case. You can get Zs for much less than that all day long.

You can get a loaded SS for around $35k. Again a bargin in my book. Find me any car that handles well, has 400 plus horse power, traps at 111, and that stickers in the mid 30s? Good luck.

I've seen new vettes going for under $39K lately. That's a far better deal, IMNSHO.

I saw 5 of them on AutoTrader about a week ago when I did a search on new Vettes and filtered under $40,000. None today though. This is THE time to get a Vette if you ever want one, after this recession, you'll probably never see new ones at this price again.

I just went by the option prices on their website. Its safe to say you can get a $34K SS with a few minor options (floormats, etc) for $35K, and you could load it up for a few thousand more. I am not trying to dog on the camaro, the more performance cars out there the better.

does anyone have a good acceleration comparison of the two vehicles (i.e. both vehicles tested by the same magazine at the same time)? I'm assuming the Camaro is faster, just want to see by how much.

Lol 1959 Zenith television.

I disagree. The interior of the Z is way better but the exterior is not better than the Camaro. In fact it is streets ahead. Love the Z!

Oiy... I can't read all these pages from both the camaro thread and the z thread...

TWO TOTALLY DIFFERENT CARS! DIFFERENT PURPOSES!

They both have their pros and cons. Some of the things said by both Camaro fan boys and Z fan boys are totally ignorant.

I've been on both sides of the fence and I can say that it's amazing how dumb the argument is. And fanboy or not for either of the cars, some of the comments made were down right stupid.

"It's better cause it's American"
"Z's a better track car"
"Camaros get shock and awe"
"Z's look better"
"Who wants a 2 door maxima"


Seriously dumb comments. I've owned a few F-Bodies and I've owned a Z. They are two TOTALLY different animals and can't be compared other than having wheels and a motor. They serve the driver differently and have completely different goals, no different from comparing the 370z to the G37.

I think this argument is moot, but leave it to ignorant fanboys to forget that as gear heads we should appreciate the good in any vehicle.

The made in America comment is absurd. It's was designed in Australia and made in Canada. How exactly is it American?

I do think it's a fine car though, and did cross shop it. In the end I'm very happy with the Z and glad I don't have to worry about GM going tits up.

The way I see it, everyone of us who pays taxes bought American and we don't have a car to show for it.

Now that the unions have hustled the taxpayer I will never buy another American car again.
