I think GM and Nissan traded some tech secrets. We are getting the HUD's and chevy is getting the DRM.

That Camaro interior is awful. It looks like it was designed by Fisher Price.

I used to think so too until I had a 2013 rental. I don't particularly care for the style but quality wise it was very nice. Surprised the hell out of me.

Gauge placement is incredibly stupid though. The Z has it right with the three pods within line of sight. The Camaro tucks them under the dash in the center console.... Wat

The reason for the brutal gauge placement is, retro. The old cars had the same placement.

I really dislike the Nav screen on the 2013 model. Looks like an afterthought.

Hey, at least you can order a Nav with it and it doesn't cost $2k

the Hurst short shifter is much better than the 370z's shifter though.
Some people here would complain about how difficult it is to drive a manual 370z smoothly.

They would have no problem in the Camaro.

That picture doesn't even look real. Looks like some kind of photoshop nightmare.

Quality of materials is fine. Ergonomics has issues. But if some never been in one after 2011? Then they are giving highly limited information. The gauges on the bottom is ergo-horrid but identical to the 68 camaro. So it's done more for nostalgia.

I like the Camaro interior better than my 2010 370z nismo.
nismo had cloth seats. 2SS has leather seats.
cloth seats in a $40k car.

While some people say the Camaro interior looks cheap (probably true compared to other 370z models), to me it looks better than the Nismo's
