Though GM is not doing themselves any good by having these problems.

it boiled down to the camaro and the z for me...i do like the look of the camaro and dropping from a v8 to a v6, i definately appreciate the muscle car hp and sound v8s provide. I am glad and satisfied with my decision to go with the z, it actually gets way better gas mileage than the mach did. the z feels as fast if not faster than the mach and has a very euro sound and feel to me, its growing on me more and more each day. eventually i'll get hfc's and catback to open er up...crazy as it sounds but the brakes on the z are one of my most favorite things about the z.
did i mention "z" too many times :)

I have only seen 2 370z and a lot of 2010 Camaro’s both the SS and the V6. I guess Texan's like their muscle cars, because I have also seen a few 2010 Mustangs and a lot of new Challengers.

It shows how rare a 370z is around here, when I take my 370z out I get a lot of looks from people in other vehicles probably because it’s the first time they have seen it on the road.

As far as the transmission failures go I really hope GM gets this fixed. But I have a 2008 Trail Blazer SS (Stock: 390hp LS2 Engine 4.10 4spd) that is notorious for transmission failures as well. I have 35,500 on it so far with no troubles; this would be considered a good transmission because it has made 35,500 (Yes it’s Sad, but true). Some owners on the TrailBlazerSS Forum have fried their transmission with only 6000 miles it really is a hit or miss. I believe this is happening because of the BIG engines they’re stuffing into a vehicle that weigh almost 5000lbs, something is bound to pop!

On the other hand the 370z’s 7AT is awesome quick snapping shifts in manual mode and nice smooth shifts in (D). Nissan has built the car to handle much more horse power (Its Solid). It seems GM built the TBSS and with this news above the Camaro SS to barely handle the stock power delivered. Now the LS2 and LS3 engines are great, they just need to make sure the transmissions can handle the power and weight.

Edit:
Looks like the OP article includes the halt of production.

Have not seen to many 2010 mustangs, but give it time and they will be all over the place. Wonder if the camaro will be around for more than one year after all of these issues.

I give the Camaro 2-3 years tops. The Mustang will outsell it like always. I've been seeing lots of 2010s on the road lately.

I think this is a very accurate statement for the area of Texas I live in as well. There are a handful of 350z's around, 1 GTR, and no 370z's yet. Yet I can't drive 3 miles without seeing a Mustang (new or old) and have begun seeing more and more Cameros and Challengers. Maybe once college gets back in a 370z will show up.

On the topic of all these Camero issues, I'm kinda sad they didn't get a lot of them ironed out before releasing the vehicle. I think it's a good looking car and would hate to see it go under because they rushed it out the door.

I want to see the American car companies get their **** together and produce some high quality machines that are competitive.

bigaudiofanat 07-15-2009 09:09 AM

I NJ I have seen at least 6 camaros and 1 370Z that was in my drive LOL
