I've owned four F-bodies (all purchased new); a 1973, a 1976 and a 1970 (Trans Ams) and a 2000 Z/28.
Needless to say, I love the Camaro/Firebird line but I doubt I'll ever buy another one.
The LSx engine line is incredible and quality, perhaps not quite up to par, is almost certainly not as much of an issue as in the past. The interior is another matter but if I love a car enough I can live with a less than perfect interior.
Bottom line is that everyone buying a new car has to buy the car they are most passionate about and, if they are financing it, won't get pissed off three years down the road when they are making out that check every month.
Having been a significant part of both over the years, I can tell you that the F-body and the Z communities have great people in them...many of whom I'm fortunate to call friends.
Don't let other people sway your opinions...buy what you most want...drive both cars and think about it...both the Z and the new Camaro are desirable but for their own, unique reasons.
