Motortrend: Z/28 vs 911 Turbo S vs GTR

I love the Z/28 for the way it does what it does well. The car is such a throwback (naturally aspirated, RWD, 6MT, stripped out, no frills etc...), and from what I've read the one thing folks who have driven the car seem to agree on is that it's an absolute blast to wring the hell out of this thing on a circuit. I think it's so disappointing when manufacturers all too often sacrifice driving excitement and enjoyment for a few precious tenths and ring times. What's also funny is that I've read a lot of snobbish "b-b-b-but, it's a POS Camaro" comments from haters, which is ironic coming from Nissan and GT-R fans given how the pro-Euro snobs trashed on the R35 when it first came to market. That said, as a track weapon and a full-blown tarmac terrorist, you can't take anything away from the Z/28. This thing is a beast when it's in its element. I love it, competition like this from around the way will only serve to make cars like the next GT-R and the next Z better. Kudos to GM for not being shy and for not holding the Camaro back the way they have in years past so as to not piss off the Corvette faithful.
