370z vs Camaro SS

m4a1mustang · 06-24-2011, 01:41 PM

Yeah but if you go to any Camaro forum all of the decent drivers are pretty solidly in the 12s. 13.4 is definitely one of the slower times for the car. It'd be like if a mag reported the 370Z did the 1/4 in 14 seconds.

Gotcha, just going off what ive read. Dont have any experience with them but to be honest, when i see them on the street, i dont get scared lol

13.4 is hella slow. The average mag times I've seen reported are 12.9-13.1. The average for the Z is 13.2-13.5. Also if you look at any mag and compare the Camaro to the Z you will statiscally the Z is always slightly slower. Meaning that if C&D got 13.4 on the Camaro they probably got 13.5-13.6 for the Z.

And again no, the Z has more traction issues than the Camaro. Dispite the fact that the Camaro has skinnier rear tires and inferior traction ratings compared to my Nismo. And it's not due to the suspension of the NISMO because my previous touring/sport Z wasn't any better.

Yea did some more reading and your right, that 13.4 was a slower time... Im still surprised though about the wheel spin...

Track is way different from the street. Raced multiple new SS's and never once got beat. Dead even every time. This was in a car that ran 14.0@102.88. My old 140K mile WS6 6-speed.

tires and alignment make more of a difference

Camaro with the super charger package VS my GTM stage 2 SC.
Now thats going to be a good race.
11.6 to 11.3 i hope to run once i get the car set up , Who knows it may run slower with traction problems.

Skimped on suspension? or just one of those things?

Question: Do you have multiple dents in rear quarter panel?

I've road tested a stock coupe with the auto stick. I was trying to buy a dealer installed SC 680 hp vert but the banks wouldn't go for it. Not that I lost out. Anyway, the autostick coupe felt very slow compared to my 7at vert. Ofcourse handling wasn't even close to what I remember my Z being stock. I have not drag raced either but street feel isn't even close.

Feel is VERY subjective. I don't like it. My 1995 Trans Am felt way faster than my 2001 Trans Am. I did race LT1's in my LS1, and LS1's in my LT1. I can tell you that it just wasn't so.
