If you can use the power of the Z on the street then the same can be said for the Camaro. On the street these cars are near identicle so to say the Camaro has too much power is false. While it does rock over 400hp and torque it's still heavy and there fore takes longer to move than it's big brother the Vette. One could argue the Vette has too much power for the street but then again you are talking about a 3200lb car with over 400hp and torque, not a 3900lb tank.

Guys this is great info, The Camaro looks great and so does the Z. I think I should of gotten the Z. I'm a small guy 5'6" 160lbs so I think the Z would do fine. Also I want to put it in gear and forget about it.
