Noooooooooooo......that's called: Not facing reality!

Nah, just let them buy the Camaro.
It'll help our economy at least! :tup:

People still care about stop light racing? I thought that fad ended when you graduate high school.
Who cares who wins in a straight line.

Real cars go around turns, long straights are for planes to take off.

Agreed (bc I am a pilot.)

I love the Camaro; it looks great, has a ton of power, and the interior's not bad. However, it weighs too much, the tires are too skinny, the body rolls a lot, and it won't be nearly as fun as the Z will be.

While I cannot make any statements of fact, I would imagine 99% of the Camaro board has never been on a road course. Once you've tracked a proper sports car, there's no going back to straightline BSing. I never got the thrill of stumping on the gas for a few seconds and calling it quits (perhaps I just don't properly understand it). There is just so much more to driving.

PS: I have only been considering two cars for my upcoming purchase SS or Z: just conversing on that board has made my mind up for me (forgetting I'm more of a two seat sports car person anyway); its Z all the way.

I'm posting under Rekt in that forum.

I don't mind a little bias for "your" brand, but to ignore math and logic just kind of annoys me.
Where the numbers work for them, they are great numbers. Where the numbers work the Z, those numbers suck, and don't mean anything, and arent valid and so forth.
That being said, some of those guys seem to have their head on straight.

I saw your post. "Nobody will understand that on this forum.

Can you convert that to ET and 1/4 mile language plzzz?"

That's pretty funny man.

Gave me a good laugh too. I was really looking forward to reading some responses to my post, but since there were none except for the above quote (nice job LiquidZ/Rekt), I guess it really did fly over their heads.

They are all having internal discussion on whether thats possible or not, no trolls allowed. lol.

By the way, it was announced the camaro is delayed another month. Production will now start 3/16/09. Can they ever get this effen car going?

18rgcelica73 01-09-2009 10:18 PM

What I think is really hilarious is the fact that you don't see the mustang guys really arguing this point very much, and don't get me wrong I really like the retro styled stang but in motor trend the 370z ran to 60 in 4.7 seconds , the 1/4 mile in 13.3 @ 105.7mph. The mustang 2009 version ran to 60 in 5.2 and 1/4 mile at 13.7 @ 100 +or - don't have it in fornt of me. Sorry but ss camaro's didn't run 13.3's when motor trend tested them they were running 13.7's @ 102 or so. Motor trend in my opinion really doesn't drive the cars as hard as they could to get better times, so this really shows that nissan has done an exemplary job creating this monster in disguise.

LiquidZ 01-09-2009 10:23 PM

I'm glad you all are getting a kick out of my posts hahaha :tup:

I'm just waiting for them to come over here trying to bash our Z. I'll apologize ahead of time admins...

18rgcelica73 01-09-2009 10:27 PM

Well you have a way of speaking what is true which is evading their simple American made biased minds. I was raised on muscle cars but the second I saw what the imports were capable of I quickly became an import minded enthusiast. They will realize what the z is capable of when they come across one on the road and get their asses handed to them in a very fashionable embarrasing way. I myself can't wait to accomplish this embarrasment.

2010 Chevy Camaro SS: 0-60 in 4.6 Seconds

Seems to me edmunds already got some SS numbers no??

The link i provided show some numbers

0-60 in 4.9, 60-0 in 117ft, .90g skid, 1/4 mile 13.4

Hmm looks like the Z has it beat in certain areas...... braking, 0-60, skid, and 1/4 mile

but then again ...this is probably a pre production test car so i dont know?:icon14:

frost 01-09-2009 10:55 PM

That slow? Wasnt expecting that out of a 422hp car. But like you said, maybe that was a prepro. For their sake, I hope so.
