It's pretty much all been said, but I will chip in with this:

I'm at 6062' above sea level. At this height, forced induction is NICE. I'm a Chuck Norris roundhouse kick away from Colorado's premeir ski resorts. AWD and forced induction is EVEN BETTER. But I'd still rather have the Z. I don't need a back seat for this car, and the hp it'll give away at altitude it will more than get back with its appetitie for the twisties. And heck, I've got my '01 S4 for the ski mountain runs anyway. So... 135i? Tempting, and though I like the overall look of it, it just misses for me somewhere. Probably the fact that it's really only playing at being a 4-seater and wasn't quite the 2002 reincarnate fans imagined it was going to be. Camaro? Talk to me when you can get it to lose 500lbs, GM. Seriously, a 3800lb car? Really?

It's down to the Z, the M Coupe, and the Cayman S. But I can only afford the price of one of them. From what we've read so far, think I'll miss out on much?

S.

I really wanna see how the Camaro is going to handle with the new multilink in the rear. As far as gas guzzling, ever driven a stock 6 spd LS1 Camaro/Trans Am? 5th and 6th are both overdrives. A few bolt ons and that car will be making 450-500 easy.

Damn im really torn between the Camaro and Z now lol

Yea, but the most important problem the Camero has is that it is a GM Product.


The Big Three are in trouble because they build shitty vehicles.

Vanbibber, my comments made about The Big Three are referring to their products quality, build, fit and finish. If we must bring speed into the equation, and if being quick is the only advantage they have, just remember……When Shitt comes out Quick, It’s called Diarrhea, and we all know that’s the worst piece of Shitt a person can have.

So, would you rather have an investment in which your gains are greater than your peers' investements gains for 2 years, or an investment that over the course of time if FAR more valuable than your friend and their 2 year investment?

BTW, that friend blew threw their money an now have very little to nothing to show for it, while you can now retire early due to your wise investing.

Big 3: Fast cars! COOL! But wait, the glory was short lived as they may crumble.
Europe/Asian Car Makers: Fast cars; not as fast as the Big 3. But wait, they are not begging for money and weeks away from collapse!!!

So, in the end, who really wins? Much more to life that a wild fast ride!!

Prolonged diarrhea leads to dehydration, which eventually leads to death.

Anyone have anymore sh*t analogies to apply to the Big 3?

the camaro all the way if you're going to mod it....the aftermarket for american muscle, especially chevy/gm is impressive. That being said I'd rather have the better handling, more refined Z and will sell/trade my '06 GTO to do so. I will sacrifice straight line performance (my GTO is not stock).

Straight line performance is good but kinda gets old in everyday driving. Once you drive a better handling car, you can never go back to softer mushy suspension cars, EVER!
