"Check yo'self before you wreck yoself"
Look young buc, you must be out of your mind if you think a V6 Mustang or Camaro is in the same league. Everything new that is faster cost as much as the Z or more. +/-$1,000. Straight line speed doesn't stop at the 1/4 either. But say it does. It barely breaks 14's, traps 100 flat and weighs 3500 lbs. The Camaro's V6, even considering the LFX engine is no faster than the Mustang. To make matters worse for the Mustang it stops going faster at 115mph.

Z's generally run mid to low 13's and trap 103-105mph, automatics a tick or two faster. The Z stops faster, corners harder, and weighs 300-400lbs less. They are not in the same league as you say. A couple members have broken the 13 barrier with a stock Z, but they are freaks of nature and are omitted from my argument.

No I think you miss his point...Your words were that the V6 Mustangs and V6 Camaros were faster...They are not....It will take a V8 Camaro or Mustang to run with the 370Z in the 1/4 mile and even then, they may lose to the 370Z..

I think you may be stretching the term "sports car" with those two.

Sports car - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sports car - Definition and More from the Free Merriam-Webster Dictionary
Sports car | Define Sports car at Dictionary.com
Sportscar - definition of Sportscar by the Free Online Dictionary, Thesaurus and Encyclopedia.
Ford Mustang - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (for kicks search sports car in there. It says sports-car-like... once)
Chevrolet Camaro - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Nissan 370Z - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Nissan Z-car - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Maybe you will understand the difference.

True, the Mustang and the Camaro's are "Sport Coupes"...Not sports cars...
