370Z vs SS Camaro vs 135i

AK370Z

Your specs are a little off on the 370Z. Here are the specs from Motortrend

Here's the Motortrend specs for the BMW 135i

2008 BMW 135i - Specifications - Quick Test - Motor Trend



As you can see the numbers are identical. Both of these cars will run neck and neck if you can find two drivers with identical driving skills. But when you look at the price, there is a $10,000 difference!!!

The base NIssan 370Z is priced 29,930 and when you add the
SPORTS PACKAGE
price comes to 32,930 (before destination). But a sports package equipped 135i costs somewhere around 36K to 37K (before destination). For a young car enthusiast, that's a lot of money. I know you get the whole BMW amenities with the price, but for many car enthusiasts, who do not care about leather seats or automatic adjustable seats, 370Z is the perfect solution for their need for speed thirst.

Now as Alefcole said, if you're looking for a nice 4 seater and you don't have 74K dollars in your bank to get a GTR, 135i will give you good bang for the money. I actually had a chance to take 135i for a "spirited" drive and I know what the car is capable of. BMW did their homework and the 135i is a great car if you're looking for a 4 seater sports coupe.

BUT if you love 2 seater sports car(like me) then you can't go wrong with the 370Z. I am not a big fan of 4 seaters coupes. It just doesn't give me the true sports car feel.

All the magazines and automotive sites are very happy with the new 370Z. You can see it in their reviews.

Motor Trend: Arthur St. Antoine's 2nd take on the Z34

The camaro should be in a whole different category. It's a great drag strip car with a lot of HP/tq for straight line performance but in the twisty, you'll feel it's heavy weight and inability to turn as quick as the Z or 135. I like the look but Camaro is a NO GO for me

Finally, I'd like to say that both 135i and 370Z are great cars but when it comes to $$$ versus performance, Z is a winner hands down.

I agree, the 370z is the best value for your money, as well as the GTR. Good for nissan for making such wonderful machines.
