And while we're talking about the Z vs the Camaro or Mustang, those two still don't hold a candle to the outstanding looks of the Z. They just don't compare at all to the Z in style and design.

Anywho...
Style is subjective; personally I like the looks of the 15+ Mustang while the Camaro still looks like a turd IMO. As far as the C7 'Vette not holding onto corners... it beats the Z in every measurable category. For 2x the price it should, but don't go being an import homer while the domestic is obviously superior in this case. Hell, the GT350 beats the crap out of the Z too, both in cornering (surprisingly) and acceleration (not even remotely close).

Maybe OP's excitement with owing a Z is no longer there? It happens sometimes specially if you have a second favorite. If I ever had to get rid of my Z would most likely be due to practicality (since it's only 2 seats and RWD). Hope that never happens but if it ever did I think my NEXT choice would be.

Subaru WRX

I don't think I could see myself in American Muscle, regardless of how much HP they may have. But as I said before, it's your life and you decision. While you may get burned by some of us regarding your reasons of wanting to change to another car, some of us do bring very good valid points. One thing I'll tell you, Z turns HEADS everywhere, it's a great feeling seeing people smile and point as you are passing by. Camaro's and Mustangs are so common now that they blend in everywhere they go.

I don't know who to attribute this quote to (It could be Curt Cobain); if this is you, you probably own a Z:

"They laugh at me because I'm different. I laugh at them because they're the same.".

Yes, style is subjective, and quite frankly, the new Mustangs are pretty darn sweet looking. The Corvettes are nice from the front and sides, but the back end is totally hideous.

And yes, the new American cars are getting much better in both quality and handling, especially the Mustang and Vette. The Camaro I don't know anything about. With that said, the interior of most all of the American cars is just cheap looking with fake chrome, fake aluminum and fake carbon fiber. They're just really cheap looking. Again, my opinion.

I DO have $50K burning a hole in my pocket, and I'm keeping my Z!
