New and confused: (
 

Hey guys I'm new to the forum I'm from the dfw metroplex and I work for GM on on the market for a new car and really loving the 1le camaro I just can't stand the headroom! But I also have a soft spot for the 370z considering I drive. Maxima now. I can't make up my mind. Oh and I'm 6'3" insurance isn't a factor nor price there in the same area and another thing is I'm really looking at going forced induction on one of these I know they both have ungodly potential also no kids or any anchors so 4 seats isny neccesary either just me and my girl. Any help: ) is greatly appreciated I can't make up my mind!

Price not a factor? Forced induction? Hennessey Camaro it is.

Haha let me clarify the price isny going to choose as in if I was gonna spend 40k on a 1le I would spend the equivalent on a z I'm not gonna buy a base z because its cheap as ****. Make sense?

hmmm, well, the 'maro will have more hp potential when you go FI since you're already starting with a big v8. drive both, and which ever one you like the driving dynamics and "feel" for the most, go with that one. Camaro will most likely be easier to get better traction with when you add more power vs the Z. Also, don't forget the Z has a shorter wheelbase too so consider that if you are going to be adding 200 whp or so to the car as far as to how it will drive/behave.

This is true I'm just more of a weight to ratio kinda guy so the z your 500 lbs the less right of the bat ya know

no arguement from me there, after all, you can see what car i chose. :)

True. I drove a base z 2011 I believe and hate the seats but for some reason there was headroom. And I like the rest of the car a lot as well as the camaro. The only reason I think the camaro is good power wise is it seems to be so much easier to extract power from this small blocks than it does or v6's and I know it is harder but Idk it seems so much more exciting to destroy a v8 with your v6 than to destroy other v8s and 6's with a v8 make sense? I hate making decisions involving large amounts of money!

Both great cars, I'm glad I got the Z though. I'm 6'2", 225# & fit in the Z fine. Houston to Dallas 2x month with 1 stop at Buc-ees. Not tired at all when I arrive & I'm almost 40.:twocents:

I'm 6'3" and by far and away fatter than any of you guys, I LOVE the Z, SOOOOOO damn comfortable. I made the Dallas Houston drive 10's of times... And I made a trip from Dallas to Los Angeles EASILY, no back pain, no nothing... (And I'm prone to back pain)


I also used to have an '09 Maxima, and the Maxima's door line was a bit lower to rest my elbow on for really long drives, but nothing to dissuade me from buying another (I rest my arm on the top of the door, there is/was a permanent on both my cars, LOL)

I just don't like the bolsters on the thigh area they were really hard on this particular car

Hmmmmm... I bought mine used, and I flattened those biitches out quick, LOL... You'll get used to it... Worse comes to worse, I have THE BEST leather guys in Houston, and they can modify it however you please


(Text of call me (310)eight nine three-4207 for ANY questions, I had a lot of connections at the dealers there)


EDIT: Dammit... You're in DFW... WELLLLLLLL... The local 370Z group there is an AMAZING group of people, head out to a meet!!! Once you meet the guys, I bet you'll buy a 370

Lmfao I'll have to go to a meet I guess and see

Fast Turtle + Boosted Performance = Pure Bliss

Fast turtle :D first time I've heard that one

I guarantee if you go out more than once you'll feel right at home (I say more than once because you'll probably be awkward the first time)

But Nina, Westin, Devin, Brandon G37, Russell, and a whole bunch of people made me feel at home away from home... Awesome group of people honestly, I consider them all family, no BS

Will do

Welcome!

I don’t understand the Z/Camaro comparisons that always pop up. They are totally different cars other than being in the same price range. So it is going to come down to comfort for you.

Couple of the Pluses for me: The Z looks better hands down and there is way less of them on the road.

^WAYYYYYYY less on the road... I don't really remember how the Camaro was, but the Z has a terrible blind spot, but you get used to it and learn to angle your mirrors differently, lol

blind spots on both are completely horrible lol

Pfft people have brakes anyway :driving:

Zed...... that is all

Touche

Hi

Well hello there

Here's what I did/currently doing.....bought a base 09 Z...strip interior, engine, adding all new brake kit from rotors to coilovers, and planning on customizing my own body kit. If money isn't an issue then I say go with the Z since IMO find it more stylish...but then again, to each's own:tup:

I'm 5"9 and 151lbs and feel I hav just enough room to be completely comfortable. Ur 6'3 and can still fit comfortably? Wow! Anyway, I see atleast 5 camaros a day...its insane. I'm like dang what are they like $12K?! Anyway, i love the rarity of the Z and hands down its just freakishly sexy.

Lol, yeah, I fit nicely, I might look a bit stupid getting in/out if there isn't much room to open the door, LOL

But yeah, the seat is all the way back, all the way down, and I don't drive leaned back at all either...

I DO like the rarity of the 370Z too (especially with JDM tail lights ;-), I see like 10-15 Camaros and Mustangs, I think they look great, don't get me wrong, I just like my Z more.

I think I've decided!

Don't let us pressure you, even though our forum and it's members are amazing, unlike OTHER forums, lol!!!

Either way, stay on the forum an come out to one of the DFW 370Z meets! We like all cars (One of us is a traitor and has a 5.0, and we still allow him to come to meets, lol)

Ya these forums are way more responsive than the camaro 5 forums but I don't think I can shake the idea of a cammed ls3 with a cai, long tube headers, and exhaust putting nearly 500 rwhp :D

As long as you're happy who cares.

You SOB!!! I thought you were siding with us!!!

I'm messing, brother, enjoy whatever it is that makes you happy!
Hopefully I'll see you at one of the meets and if you DO come out, tell me when and I'll try to see if I can persuade the member with the Camaro to come out too!

Her car is the green one on Vossen's website

:bowrofl:




well if you want a me too car then go right ahead lol

Lol, I honestly don't mind either way, we're all car people and we like different things!

I will say that I have never been or visited a forum or group of people as awesome as the 370Z people... Hell, a guy from OHIO was helping me with Calculus last night!!! It was midnight his time!!!

That's truly 1 in a million

that's just how we Z folk are....two days ago I saw a 350Z on the shoulder of the freeway with its emergencies on....I pulled over to help a fellow Z brotheren out.....plus it helped that the 350Z owner was a hot chick :yum:

any and all car people are welcome here, no matter the age, car you drive, cars you like...whatever....... we all enjoy CARS , we Z folk just happen to love the Z a tad bit MOWR! ;) BUT there are all sorts on this forum :tup:......Mustang drivers, camaro drivers, Viper Drivers, S2000 drivers, miata drivers, BMW drivers, GTR Drivers. ...... we are here for a simple yet common interest......CARS :yum:

lol...

Hey, for me is about how much you can customize and the Z is way more flexible than the camaro

3 pages already. This shows you how active is this forum :driving:
