Uh-oh...
Exterior's not horrible, but Ford is WOEFULLY short on power compared to its natural rival, Chevy's Camaro. Hit for hit, Ford's V6 makes, what, 210 hp and Chevy's makes 306... not even close.

Then the V8's... yes, Ford gives up 1.4 litres of displacement to Chevy's SS, but STILL! 315hp plays 400? Yes, the Ford is a little bit lighter, but not enough to give up 85 hp! And a 5 spd? Let's not forget the live rear axle. *Sigh* I'd be worried about the Chevy V6 Camaro (the RS, I think?) if it weren't for the fact it's gonna weigh about 500lbs more than the Z. Then, for fun, throw in Dodge's 4200lb Challenger. To sum up: Domestics 0, Nissan 1.
