My new daily driver...

JAYNO20 · 09-12-2014, 03:11 AM

I had a 370z Nismo for almost 2 years. Loved the car, first of its kind I've ever owned. Had a good bit of mods done to it and it was pretty fun to drive. Had a few D-bags key the **** out of it and I mean REALLY key it. Every panel except for the roof was keyed bad enough the whole car needed repainted.

As much as I loved the Z, I have a HORRIBLE track record with getting anything like this repaired and I knew it was going to turn out terrible no matter how much I paid. I was also kind of ready for something with a little more power.

Anyway, I traded it in on a 2014 Camaro ZL1 and let me tell you... This thing is a BEAST. As soon as I hit 1500 miles I threw an intake and an overdrive pulley to spin the blower faster on it and its putting to the wheels damn close to 600rwhp.

Had a mini photoshoot with it the other day in a nice park and thought the pictures turned out pretty well so I figured I'd share them on here (since you guys have been buying all my parts taken off my Z)

nice ride... but it would be better if chevy deleted the back seat to reduce weight... a normal-sized person can't sit back there anyway... same with the mustang... i wanted a 2-seater... so, it was between the z and the vette... z won due to being much more affordable

I'm not gonna hate. The ZL1 is a beast!

With a diet it would be a fun car.

I love the car just not the color. I'm a soulless ginger so having red hair I think has something to do with that but really nice car man! I don't hate on any car as long as its not a moose tang.

Nice ride!

Z-Girl 12 · 09-14-2014, 02:34 PM

Love it!

Not going to hate but the post should be in a Chevy Camaro site. Camaro has a bunch of power but the car is only good on straights, put that thing on a track and it'll be tipping over like a semi trailer truck going through a storm.

Uh not quite. Mag ride ftw. It has proven itself on the track.

nick760 · 09-14-2014, 04:42 PM

With less power and not to bulky the Nissan GT-R blows by it on a track and even in a quarter mile. Even a twin turbo charged Nissan 370Z can probably out run it on a track. But at the end of the day dropping 100k on a GTR for a super sports car is a bit to much for a bunch of people. Don't get me wrong the Camaro is a great pure Muscle Car with power.

For 55k it more than proves itself on the track. Sure for 50 more thousand the gtr will win....

nick760 · 09-14-2014, 04:57 PM

Even the GT-R priced at 100k its still relatively "cheap" compared to other super sports car, I think the only vehicles that can outrun a GT-R is a Buggati Vyron, Lambo Aventador and a Mclaren. Which these cars cost way over $200k.
