Umm, no it doesn't. Maybe that's what the review mags say, but that's certainly not the case in the real world.

And "more worse"? Really?...

He's not necessarily wrong. The Challenger apparently can be a second faster, judging by these times, for each:

For those that are wondering, stock 392 Challenger times - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums - Camaro5.com

official 1/4 mile track times

Like I said before, it all boils down to the driver. However, it doesn't matter to me as I would still take the Z before any of the others mentioned here.

I sold my 2005 GTO. Now it's time to look for a new or used 370Z.

I measure it by "Oh Wow!"'s per lunch outing as I don't really race the Zed (yet)...

The Z gets, on average, three more Oh Wow's per lunch trip than my co-worker's 392 Challenger every time... And heaven help me if someone pulls up next to the Z and asks me about it; that puts him in a funk all day.

I chalk it up to my Nismo being the only one I've ever seen in east Denver, and Challengers being present at nearly every 4-way stop out here. And I see similar results between the Z and another co-worker's C63 AMG - he'd fair better though if we had a larger sample size, but the AMG lives in the shop...

Really, the only car here at work that beats the Z in wow-factor is my CFO's dropped and blown 1968 Camaro - but that's not really a fair comparison.

The new vette has engine failures, overheats and looks like azz compared to a C6 which is rock solid and has no issues. Stay away form the C6 z06 however it has valve train issues. Stick with the LS3 engine. If your still thinking about a Dodge Challenger SRT8....I just sold my Dodge Challenger Hellcat and got a 2013 Nismo....the Dodge Challenger is a boat, handles horribly, its long, heavy, wide...I hated it, felt like a big luxury car that went fast...sold it after owning it around 3 to 5 months...Nismo is small, agile, refined, RELIABLE, looks 10 times better than the new vette or Challeger.... all that and it costs LESS!?! A true enthusiasts drivers car ...not a show off hotwheels looking car like a new vette or challenger...
