tbh, i'm really sick of those "car X vs. car Y" threads... just buy whatever you like. I won't be racing the car anyway so I don't care.
i'm personally looking into either the V6 camaro or the Z. I prefer the Camaro atm because I have to drive whichever car I choose in the winter as well and it's a bit less $$$.
