I can't believe people are saying the z is the best bang for your buck.. It's probably 3rd behind a mustang gt 5.0 and used c6 vette. The. Mods you would have to spend on a z to be faster than those cars is Not worth it.

The only thing holding me back actually from buying a z actually is the performance just isn't there for the money.

And what about the Camaro? The new Z28 smoked the corvette by 3 seconds in the car and driver lightning lap.



Honestly, you buy a car like either Z, vette,Mustang, Camaro, because it trips your trigger. I don't care if any of these new tech are faster than my Z. I love my Z and I didn't buy it because it was the fastest. I bought the Z because it is fast and looks cool doing it and it is what I could afford. And none of those others has synchro rev matching. Well, for 60k,you can get it in a new vette now, five years later.

Lol. Mustang??? With the most numb steering and seats that feel like your sitting on a lounge chair.
Camaro 1LE will rag tag mustang azz around the track.
The Z is for people that like being one with the machine. Mustang are for people who like sitting on a machine and feel nothing but forward movement... Quickly.

Z down on power? Lol. Only if you don't know how to manipulate the throttle. Ride with me... I guarantee you, you'll need a diaper. Lol.

Lol that is freaking funny! Diapers? How about a puke bucket too?
You dont want to ruin your wonderful Z!

I think somebody will be schooled today by the Master!
Come on before you ride with the master named unknown do this wax in, wax out wax in, wax out.

Thanks to Ken Chan for quoting this, I had not yet seen this. I've put all your post together in my mind and it seems like the Z just isn't for you. You have brought up the car not having a good bang for the buck in 4 out of 6 of your post. I don't know what you factor in a sports car to achieve your bang for a buck ratios but I do believe the Z is one of the best cars for the buck. Sure, it's straight line speed isn't the best but where it lacks in one department it flourishes in others.

It's rare, quite fast, handles well, stops well, and it looks better then any car ok the road doing it IMO.
