Which new car? 370z IS an option.

Slightly related... the AM Performance 370Z's were running circles around the Camaros in the corners of Laguna Seca and Mid-Ohio. While many suspension pieces on the AM cars are not stock (AST dampers, custom-fabbed sway bars, etc.), the stock geometry is maintained as per Grand Am rules.

Also, I think it should be noted for GM's sake that the Camaro is a huge leap in the right direction. It's not perfect yet, but it's much better than their other performance offerings in the past (Corvette excluded). Quality and R&D are up!
