Camaro a family car?
 
Chevy Camaro SS vs. Nissan 370Z, the unlikely face-off: Motoramic Drives | Motoramic - Yahoo! Autos

Didn't read the article, but I would HATE buckling kids seatbelts in any two door car. Or trying to manipulate a car seat back there.

Not a bad review, random, but not bad, at least it felt open minded

cooltoy 06-19-2013 02:32 PM

I agree. A pretty fair comparison. Just the family car part made me laugh.

Dealing with kids in the back seat is hard enough in a four door car in a tight parking space. Imagine doing it with a long-door coupe. :|

Personally I think that particular Camaro he drove is atrocious looking. As for the review, I believe he hit most of the "general" points anyone putting these 2 cars up against each other would hit. Nicely done.

The article is actually pretty good. My cousin owns a camaro and I own a Z ( obviously ). I've driven it countless times for comparison reasons. The article is spot on. The only thing I found wrong was where it spoke about the trunk space in the Z. I have found I can fit a crap load of stuff in there. Way more than it looks like can fit. Other than that the article was good and very positive for both vehicles.

Just read the bit. Pretty honest. I happen to really like both cars.

And I agree with SAmilitaryman. I found the hatch of the Z to be pretty spacious for a sports car. I can fit all my groceries in easily. I even bought my 25 gallon fish tank in my Z. And a good sized vacuum cleaner. :)

The Camaro does have a nicely sized trunk but the opening is tiny.

odd, it said both were north of 13 in the 1/4, I thought for sure the SS with 426HP albeit heavier was around 12.5 in the 1/4 but apparently not.

"If I weren’t concerned about passengers then I would get the Nissan. It is a fantastic driver’s car, and those SynchroRev Match downshifts were something I would enjoy for a long time."

He's so right on about the sync rev system....Again I'm not "concerned about passengers"!!!

LoL..there was definitely some thought behind the placement in the trunk I imagine. It definitely wasn't effortlessly.

Speaking of parking space, you are going to be hard-pressed to find your Camaro in a sea of 1000 others just like it :confused: .

Camaros have always been one of my favorite cars, but with their current size and quantites that you see everyday, it's not for me (at least for now).

Not much thought actually. I fit 7 boxes of MRE's and a guidon in my Z easily at the same time.

Nice. You on some kind of drill team? Just curious, because for Navy our guidon, if I'm thinking of it correctly is the flag the person in front of the formation carries. We don't really use those unless it's like boot camp or some kind of "ceremonious" march.

I'm an MTI. Military Training Instructor ( Drill Sergeant in laymans terms. USAF likes to put fancy names on stuff. )

I wear one of these.
