Just the fact that we do what we do with an "inferior engine says a lot. The Camaro wins on torque delivery and range. In manual. The camaro can lose to a Z. if the driver can't switch em well. An automatic Z can be a camaro's worst nightmare though when comparing stock. That's where its really a drivers race. From a rolling 60? The camaro wins hands down. Still impressive with. Almost 100 less hp and 130lbs of torque.
500lbs difference makes these two totally different cars though.
So both should be respected.

You totally nailed it and i couldnt agree with you more.

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.

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.

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.

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?

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).

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

Is that a 911 in your signature? Got a few pics to share?
