So as far as me....

I am a car enthusiast and i respect all makes and models except the cars that try to be like the fast and furious with loud exhaust pipes and super huge wings.

These are called ricers here, and there are dime a dozen. :rofl2:

I thought Camaros were cool for about 1 week until I saw 500 of them over the course of a week and got tired of them altogether. The Z is a benchmark for sports car value just as the GT-R is a benchmark for supercar value. It is inevitable that all other car owners will feel compelled to compare to either one. This is the behavior of someone that is threatened and is convincing themselves that they are worth something and need validation from everyone they encounter. Poor sap. :stirthepot:

E46 M3 has weak subframes and will crack if launched too hard.

I would know that because i owned 2 Z's and an E46 M3.


.....

Really? I didn't know that about the M3. What is your thought on the new 1 series? Really the frame would crack? Wow. :shakes head:

this is why I decided to go with the Z. I hate pulling up to the stop light and seeing myself. An expensive habit, but I spent years in a honda civic (great car BTW) but I was like every other car.

No Honda's were hurt in the making of this comment. :tup:

At the end of the day, I don't care what you drive; just drive. If it makes you happy... say go for it! I just can't get the Porsche Camen S out of my head though. If the maintenance wasn't so damn expensive on them. Anyone here owned one? What was the cost of a typical oil change with full synthetic oil?
Pros/Con's?

Tazicon 12-18-2012 02:04 PM

My car maybe slow, but everytime I turn it on it returns the favor. Nuff said.

Regular maintanence is pricey, but they don't break down. Oil change is around 200-300 USD at the stealerships, but you can you it yourself for far cheaper (around 80-90). Oh but service intervals for the cayman I believe is around 10k miles? So far less often than the Z (which I change at every 3k miles).

I hate camaros and mustangs they are played out that goes for the challengers to, every redkneck out there has one and they think they are ballin. I like Z's because not every other idiot on the road has one and they have a refined side to them to go with the performance. I laugh every time I see a snuff dipping redkneck coming down the road in those cars its entertaining. Not to mention half of them do not even know how to actually drive, meet me on a road track any day and we will see who knows what they are doing behind the wheel. Sorry for the speech but someone needed to tell it how it is.

You might lose the race if there is only a left hand turn...

Nice! I think I know what my next car is going to be. Unless Nissan comes out with another Twin Turbo set up. :)

Real talk

Never argue with an idiot; they drag you down to their level and win with experience :happydance::happydance:

I told myself I wasn't going to respond when I read this. But everyone who has been on this forum a couple years knows that I lack self control lol.

I would definitely say that the LS3 feels, and sounds much more refined than the VQ37. As far as interior? the Z wins hands down in refinement.

Chevy V8s are a dream and the most popular crate engines in the world for a reason.

a simple youtube search shows that the HR 350z w/ bolt ons is neck and neck vs a 2010 camaro ss..... 370z is a faster car period.

That guy is full of himself.

As long as you keep it in a straight line Had a Camaro stop me to ask to race. I told him we should go from point A to point B about 40 miles he said that involved mountain roads, he said it wasn't fair I laughed and told him he only bought half a car and drove away..

280z/300zx 01-27-2013 11:57 AM

While the Camaro is heavy I have no doubt that for 99% of drivers the Camaro would have no problem hanging with a Z on a mountain/canyon road. The Camaro handles really well despite it's weight.

PS. I own both a Nismo 370z and Camaro SS as well as my 280z and 300zx.

Don't knock Camaro. Its a pretty nice muscle car. And as the years past they cleaned up the interior.

As far as the 1/4 mi, I give the edge to SS 95% of the time drivers being equal.
