While the ride of the Z may not bother a lot of people on this forum, myself included, it's not REALLY a cruise friendly car to most people. It's stiff, you sit low, there's no steering play, and it's loud.
I don't care about that stuff, so they weren't buying factors. I wanted the Z because it's not that common, and I live around some twisty back roads that are fun the zip around on. I also stayed away from the Mustang because used ham sandwiches have better resale value.

The camaro is the best cruise car out there. Seats so comfy, they feel like sex. Loads of torque and immense steering feedback. Performance related downsides like weight,width and outward visibility don't make it ideal as a performance car. But it handles perfectly for the cruising street driver that loves to hit the throttle and have fun, or maybe go to the track for a few drag races...
The enthusiast can do more with a camaro than what i stated, but that's just where my experience with the Camaro took me.
