i will in time be a thing of the past, but not as soon as you think. those are supercars with very advance trannys. much more than you will find in a 370z or mustang right now. those tranny have shown to be much better than a manual.

but the ones in the current affordable sports are not at that level yet.

Cool, sounds like you're making the switch for all the right reasons. Don't let this forums "cult of mustang" try to passively talk you out of it...

Hey Mike,

You gave me a few tips on the Camaro when I was in the market back in '11. I ended up with a Z of course. They're both nice cars. I think they both look sexy except the Z is hands down nicer on the inside. I think offering two engine packages is fine. After it all it gets more of them produced and that increases parts availability (benefits the Camaro more :p). But to me it wouldn't matter what other people do and I couldn't care less. If they offered a 4 banger 370Z (maybe a 120Z lol) who cares...I just wouldn't buy it. I think Transformers really helped Camaro sales...

The Z is a great car. I wanted an automatic so the choice was obvious because the AT in the Z is wonderful. I have another manual car to play with and the Z is my commuter. Watch for possible oil consumption issues on '09-'10 models but not all of them have this issue. My '11 doesn't burn oil at all and has treated me well. Heck, it still has the new car smell.

I bought my '09 Z new in '09 and it's been virtually perfect.
You may be able to get a new base 2012 in a few months for $30,000 if you shop carefully and bargain hard. I did in December '09.

I wouldn't switch you are deep in it. Just losing money, unless you are that unhappy with it

I had a modded B6 S4 Audi with the V8 and at times I miss that power in my Z. But the light weight and handling of the Nismo is far better. I think I'll go GTM stage 1.5 and then I'll be really happy!

thanks for you comment.

i want a car that is not so typical, and common. thats what i am going now. fast, sexy, rare. and of course affordable .

also, most after market parts are sold to v8 owners. so the fact that there is v6s and v8s. do not do much for after market. only GM parts.

Whats more important?

not being truly happy, or saving money ? when i can afford to take a hit on parts and the car.

It's good to be happy...

When was the last time you drove around town and some random guy "Nice Car" or people walking by does a double take or some chick tells you, I bet you get all the girls with that car......this is something so common with the Z and I have not yet said anything about how it handles in the twisties.........

x2 :happydance:

I did say unless you were truly unhappy.

Sounds like it from your reply lol

Why would a "cult of mustang" talk a guy out of selling a Camaro? :ugh2:





:icon17:

Being unhappy is better than being broke. But since you can afford to take the hit, go for it. :tup:

Wait till you get a Z and see all the women that are non enthusiast driving them, is that going to bug you as well?


FYI I know that there are some females that are enthusiast of the Z, but many are not.
