the nismo was marketed slightly wrong is the issue. it's strictly looks and suspension. the exhaust and "ecu reflash" is very minor.

I would have seriously considered the Nismo even if all it had were the cosmetic differences (inside and out). The other stuff was just a bonus for me!

280 + 18 (Nismo gain) = 298 w/o even taking in any drive train loss factor on the additional HP, the numbers add up pretty close. Assuming 17% loss 254 + 22 = 276 276 + 15 = 291 - or about what the OP got.

IMHO, the Camaro is butt-fugly in design to the 370. And, it's near comparing apples to oranges considering 2 seats > 4 seats.
Not saying the Camaro is a total waste. It can compare against other long-lived similar cars--to wit, the Mustang. But to put it in the same showcase as the 370... I don't think so. The G35/G37 and 350Z/370Z series designs are, well, just great. Not perfect, but great. When those designs came out, Nissan scored big.

A tune and CBE that, on paper, generate the 18 hp difference.

Ugh I hate these threads, I dont own a new camaro but seriously this ricer logic is somewhat bothering me. Because its American doesnt mean it sucks. Your logic is that American sucked in the past, for the most part this is true, but the LSX engine is proven.....Its a fantastic engine, thats great for mods, and has just as much reliability as a VQ...... if you leave both stock of course. Now I make this assumption on STOCK stats. IMO the camaro is a massive improvement over the old one and many other cars. Oh and also if you are under the impression that they cannot turn youd be wrong on that too. Now they are not a Z in handling but again HUGE improvment. The people that are bashing are the same people that bash on vette handling when a vette would DESTROY a Z in all performance aspects.

i like the style of the camaro...but don't like the performance. aside from the handling factors..it takes a 6.2L v8 making 426hp to match the speed of the Z. Their 0-60 times are very close...5sec for the camaro and 4.7-5.1 for the Z
Edit: is it just me or does someone else see a problem with needing a 6.2L engine to make that???? waste of liters. |

yes camaro weighs more, If u put the VQ in there it would be a 15 sec car. Not a waste of liters. Plus, just breath on the LSX and it will make more hp lol. The Camaro SS is no joke.
