And I dont disagree on the Z beating the new Camaro at all on the track - there is a reason I bought a new 370Z, versus getting the new Camaro - its too fat! WAY too fat. Ford is getting the new Mustang right. Its like, 400 lbs lighter, and if the new 5.0 comes out, it'll have power too. Pity it'll still be live axle, but oh well - what can you do. At least its living up to its heritage...
BTW, I think the weight numbers are off here - the 1SS weighed around 3900 lbs. Not 3780. Either way, I dont see the new Camaro as much of a "sports" car - more like a hybrid of a Muscle car, with a sports car rear end... |
I had a feeling you would respond the way you did to the install of the cam. I have heard it was not too difficult and could be quite fun! And you are correct about the misstated weight. The SS is heavier than the GT500; imagine how heavy the Z28 would be if released... 4000 pounds+ ??
Either way, it was all hype about how the Camaro was going to be able to challenge the 370Z on the track. The more things change, the more they stay the same. I predict the majority of people will stick to what they are used to, aside from those in the minority such as you.
