Playboy's 10 Hottest Cars

Best Horsepower Value: Nissan Nismo 370Z
This is our first area of serious disagreement with the Playboy list. At $39,130, the 350-horsepower Nismo 370Z is no pushover, but it's not a value either, especially when considered against the 2010 Chevrolet Camaro SS churning out a tire-smoking 425 horsepower for a list price of just $30,945 for the 1SS, or $33,945 for the leather, Bluetooth and USB-equipped 2SS. It won't carve corners as well as the Z, but this is about a bang-for-the-buck horsepower car, right?

so they say the Z is the best then contradict themselves and essentially rip it

stick to boobs Playboy

No, Playboy put it on their list and Motor Authority disagreed with the selection.

and they spoke of the nismo Z, the nicest yes, but imo the least value buy of the 3 models. Base Sport at 33,000 is the one they should of listed and thats spot on with the 2ss

I saw a Panamera in white on the road the other day and I must say it looks a lot better on the road than it does in pictures.

The new Camaro's reliability record is already muddled by a recall for some electrical part (alternator??). All things taken into consideration, give me a Jap product.

Boobs!!!! :tup:

If all you're interested in is HP for the buck, then MotorAuthority is right - no question the new Camaro beats the Z. And, unfortunately, that's the category that Playboy gave to the Z - Playboy's wrong.

among many other BIG issues:icon17:

The camaro has all that horsepower and torque and it performs slightly faster than a Z in a straightline. The interior is lame. The exterior looks cool from only the front. It doesn't handle as well as the Z. Stops take longer than the Z. As mentioned before the recall. Gas mileage is way worse. EVERYONE and their dead grandma has one now. And with all that torque, a novice track enthusiast with a Z will perform much better. The camaro will just spin tires with all that low end torque to someone not used to it. If we are talking best bang for the buck, I'd include the Z, GTR, and cobalt SS as the top 3. The Z will outperform cars that cost twice as much as it does. The cobalt SS is CHEAP for a car that weighs under 3k lbs with 260 hp/tq and even cheaper to make faster despite it fwd. In fact there is a guy at my work who has a cobalt SS that can beat another one of my co worker's 03 vette Z51 (I think its called the Z51 package?). AND the GTR is an $80,000 supercar that can outperform so many other cars that cost literally 3 times and up as much as it does. Of course there is a mark up on right now however.
