Unless you're really itching for a new/different car or there's something wrong with the camaro, who cares what other people drive.

With all the mods you've done, you're going to end up taking a loss on the deal. Is it really worth it to be in a somewhat more unique car? Around here, I see lots of G's (mostly awd), Z's, camaro's, mustangs, etc... The only thing that bothers me is that most of them are automatics. True enthusiasts drive with 3 pedals, not 2 :)

Yeah, Look for me out at the health center at GVSU, I do some of that offices IT work.

Better not say that to GTR owners lol

Automatics have come a long way. RESPECT!

I like the SS, but to me it never seemed anything special, especially with so many Camaros on the road. Maybe I'm bias, but I still like the way the Z looks after nearly 3-1/2 years of owning it.

with what work you got done I would just keep your current car. All that time and dedication put forward to make your camaro that much nicer makes it all the reason to keep it, but if you really like the Z go for it I don't think you will like it because all of the HP your losing.

you do make a good point.

heres is why i think i will like the 370z. i drove my buddies 350z, and loved it. it was fun, i could see out windows, i could take a turn. it wasn't as fast, but power was more useable.

i know i might miss the sound, and power, toqure. but at the end of the day i am just not happy with it anymore.

You should take an extended test drive.

One thing I can say about the 370z comparing to the previous model 350z I noticed the 370z has a slower throttle response and seems to be a longer car when you sit in it like the hood is too big.

Lol. True indeed. Some of today's autos are indeed faster than a manual. I get bored quickly when driving. A manual keeps me more engaged to the driving experience.

@m4a1mustang, excellent point. The OP should see if he can find a dealer that will let him take the car for a day or two. Put some miles on it and see if he can justify it to himself to make the switch.

i talked it over with my father about what i should do. he said the 370z is the car to get. but he is a Japanese car enthusiast since the 70s. so hes bias as hell lol

I may have missed you saying this because i didn't want to read the whole thread, but what trim level / packages of a Z are you looking at? Base / Sport / Nav / Touring / Nismo?

but when i say to my self i would rather have a stock 370z over my modded SS, i know i need to sell it. i am sick of the whole camaro and mustang scene. i hate how they offer v6 and v8s . its just not a true performance car. the car should only have a v8 in it. i hate seeing so many v6 camaros and mustang around driven by non enthusiast. it just bothers me. so i am selling my camaro, and hoping it should cover a used 370z. i think i can get around 25-30 for the camaro.

but heres my concern. i really have never bought a used car before, and also one that has been out for this many years. i am the kind of guy who likes the newest and baddest thing. but as if this moment this is the car i want.

so when is the new Z coming out ? i would like to get at least 2 years out of the car before a new looks comes out.
I havent experienced anything with my 2011 yet with 23k miles. But the paint quality on the car is HORRIBLE!

Manual cars will soon be a thing of the past, whether "enthusiasts" like it or not.

Brb IS-F, GTR, C63, Aventadors, 458 italias, etc
