I am trying to lemon law it, but if I get a new Camaro replacement from them, I don't want to keep it. GM is a monster and I would like to go back to foreign. Has anyone here had a 5th gen Camaro and then switched to a 370z? What are the pro's and con's that I would be faced with? I think the 2 biggest things are the fact the Z is half the size of a Camaro and the trunk space is really small...The size of the car would take some getting used to. Although, the build quality is much better I am sure.



Thoughts would be great! Thanks!


The cons the Z has brought up are pretty much easy fixes that you would eventually get rid of on your journey to building your Z. These issues include but are not limited to the CSC giving out; this issue is fixed with the HD CSC from Z1motorsports or the CSC elimination kit, most members did it all along with a clutch upgrade kit. Then you have the steering wheel lock which is usually a module issue also a quick fix. And lastly there's the fuel starvation which there's someone selling a different pump that solves that issue but it's no biggie if you don't upgrade.

Personally I've smoked many RS camaros on the track and the V8s where the only challenge but the weight really slows them down, their size adds more drag and the V8 muscles cars are usually only good for short quick acceleration and suck on long high speed runs.

I would recommend Asian cars because they have a beautiful balance of acceleration, control and speed. This balance makes them unique and one of a kind when it comes to racing if you think about it. A muscle car is for drag racing more than anything and hyper cars are good for long high speeds? Haha that's how I see it.

Yes you have less space to work with but you end up with a pretty sexy car overall. Alternatively you could wait for the Nismo Maxima they're going to release pretty soon. It's going to future a 3.5L V6 Nismo tunes with Nismo body kits if you're trying to get a 4-door though it doesn't compare to a Z .

Go with a Z man. You won't regret it, plus all those cars (mustang, Camaro, challenger, charger, corvette etc) are WAY too tail happy and is almost a guaranteed wreck. Just throwing it out there. Hope my $0.02 helps haha. Either way enjoy your new ride and have fun! Don't forget to post pics of the new member!
