Factoring in the touring and nav packages and 12 and up models oil cooler you're right. 09-11 base sports and base sport autos were under 3300lbs.

Nissan, as per usual, published optimistic curb weights.

growing up my family always owned a chevy or ford product. ive been the black sheep buying only japanese cars. what it comes down to is the actual plastic used in say my parents ford explorer. the plastic is brittle, fades or discolors quickly, has rough edges and makes god awful noises if it touches another piece of plastic.

all you have to do is one audio project on a domestic to understand the lack of quality put into the material used.

on a side note, my nissan cant hang with the interiors of an acura. which to me is one of the best car makers at selling a resonably priced yet well put together interior. yes there are other better ones but the price jumps up fast.

At least the 5.0 offers real sport seats... the Z's are pretty bad for cornering. While I prefer the Z's interior layout, the stang's isn't bad at all. Just different. Materials are quality and that's what matters most. Whether or not you like the design is a difference of opinion.

The camaro is a pretty badass car, it's just too big. No reason to hate on it just because it's American. There's a lot of amazing american cars and many more in the pipeline to come. No reason to be bias

Except it's made in Canada. The GMC plant in Oshawa,Ontario,Canada is the only plant in the world that makes the camaro.

It's CANADA, not America, so the Camero is still made in Canada.

The 2012 Genesis has less power than the 2013 but IMO looks better, I don't like the redesign on Either the 13 Z or Genesis...

So I drive the 12 Z

I am not sure where you are coming from, the Z with nav has to be one of the better interiors out there! Without nav is a different story IMO.
