I currently own both a Nismo 370z and Camaro SS 6-speed. I won't get into detail about the two cars but in regards to engine harshness and interior cabin noise the Camaro wins hands down. Thats not to say the Z is inferior, it's just a different car. The Z isn't really harsh until you start pushing past 5k rpm. The interior cabin noise is much higher in the Z but thats to be expected considering it has less sound deadening material compared to the camaro. The Camaro also has a smoother suspesnion where as the Z's suspension is more harsh. This doesn't help with road noise but it does help with cornering performance. Lastly the tires on the Camaro aren't as sport oriented as the Z's, which again attributes to higher road noise. I can get into further detail between the two if you would like on both their pros and cons. I'll end with this though, the Z is the car I chose to buy where as the Camaro is the car my fiance chose to buy. Then again since you mentioned the Vette if would just get one of those. Used to own a 2006 Vette a few years ago, I'm actually considering trading my Nismo for a Grand Sport.
