Chevrolet Camaro Z/28 vs. Porsche 911 Turbo S vs. Nissan GT-R Comparison - Motor Trend

Domestics beating Imports at their own game... for a fraction of the cost at that

I'm all for

, but I smell

Yea....what DE said. A Camaro besting a GTR AND Turbo S???? Folks are stoned at Motor Trend. Reminds me of an old article about the 350Z and RX8 going at it in 2004. The Z made a mockery of the Mazda in EVERY performance test they did. Complete domination but MT awarded the 8 the better car due to a backseat and basically driving comfort...wtf?

So the purpose-built track slut on damn near race tires beat the two street cars on street tires? And people are surprised? These magazines need to have a spec tire they put all their test cars on.

Pretty impressive but a $75k Camaro???

AND in the rain... I just don't see it happening

Not to mention in that comparison every domestic fanboy just seems to gloss over the fact that the gtr slaughtered the z28 in the 0 to 60 and quarter mile...not to mention they are comparing an all out track focused car to a regular street version gtr when they should be putting it against the nismo gtr which will also be an all out track focused car including the tires

Chuck33079 · 03-27-2014, 10:27 AM

GM also has a much larger ad budget than Nissan or Porsche, so there's no surprise that their new car won.

madwi · 03-27-2014, 10:30 AM

for F*cks sake, $75K for a camaro, please stop trying to fill my *** with BS it has enough gas already!

FPenvy · 03-27-2014, 10:31 AM

i feel like the drivers in the GTR and Porsche were told to not push the pedal all the way down lol

This is what gets me. Sure, the Camaro is faster, but what you rather have? A GTR/Porsche, or a $75k version of what the high school kid next door drives?

Chuck33079 · 03-27-2014, 10:35 AM

The Z/28 is going to most likely be sold to someone who already owns several really nice cars. It's not a $75k street Camaro. It's a $75k barely street legal track toy. The guy who wants a bad Camaro for street use buys a ZL1.

Not my style, but good to see these large domestic boats holding their own.
