Camaro a family car?

280z/300zx

the SS is good for 12.9-13.1. The 1LE, like the one in the article, is actually good for closer to 12.7-12.8. The main difference between the two is the 1LE comes with much more aggressive gearing. The motor is the same between the two. The Z on the other hand is more like a 13.2-13.4 car.

I have to agree though, they both feel about the same in terms of acceleration. It's not until you actually race them that the difference will become apparent. I'm actually taking my Nismo 370z to the strip this friday to rune against my fiance's Camaro SS 6MT

Also I'm not sure i agree about the traction aspect with the Z he mentioned. Maybe it's the roads here covered with dust but the Camaro is far better with traction and easier to control compared to the Z. Adding PSS tires to my Z drastically helped over the stock tires but still, the Camaro is superior in terms of traction. Don't get me wrong, my Z will eat the camaro alive in auto-x (done it multiple times already) but in day to day spirited driving the Camaro is just easier to control and much more forgiving when the *** end gets loose

I've been tempted to get a 1LE myself but just can't seem to do it. The Z just looks better, more exotic, and when you sit inside it you feel like your in a sports car. With the Camaro they are a dime a dozen and sitting in it almost feels boring; that is until you hit the gas.
