making the switch to a Z, but have a concern

Jsolo · 10-19-2012, 11:01 PM

Unless you're really itching for a new/different car or there's something wrong with the camaro, who cares what other people drive.

With all the mods you've done, you're going to end up taking a loss on the deal. Is it really worth it to be in a somewhat more unique car? Around here, I see lots of G's (mostly awd), Z's, camaro's, mustangs, etc... The only thing that bothers me is that most of them are automatics. True enthusiasts drive with 3 pedals, not 2

Better not say that to GTR owners lol

Automatics have come a long way. RESPECT!

Lol. True indeed. Some of today's autos are indeed faster than a manual. I get bored quickly when driving. A manual keeps me more engaged to the driving experience.

@m4a1mustang, excellent point. The OP should see if he can find a dealer that will let him take the car for a day or two. Put some miles on it and see if he can justify it to himself to make the switch.

Manual cars will soon be a thing of the past, whether "enthusiasts" like it or not.

Brb IS-F, GTR, C63, Aventadors, 458 italias, etc

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...

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