Thinking of getting rid of my 40th

MacLean

I’m pretty much in line with everyone else here. I’m not a huge fan of the Camaro and all the versions look the same. I would rather have the Shelby GT500 over the Camaro Zl1. If you are going to spend this kind of money to get a Zl1, then why not pay a couple dollars more and get the new Corvette. The new Corvette is pretty effen sexy, 7MT (if you go this route), V8, lots of power, kick arse gas mileage considering a V8 & the hp it has, and etc. You also need to stop and think which car will give you the most headache down the road to fix and which car is more reliable too.

Sounds like you already made your mind OP, considering that they are two completely different cars I would just part out your Z and buy the ZL1 so you can be happy about it

A modded car is actually worth less if you trade it in so try to find a buyer through the forum or autotrader otherwise return it to stock and get raped on the trade in

Jordo!

Sell your car privately if you plan to sell; remove and part out whatever mods you can.

If you want a Camaro, go for it. Alternatively, wait and see what the next Mustang will look like.

My own (possibly worthless) opinion: I am not a fan of the new Camaro, or really of the new Mustang -- if I had to have backseats, my guilty pleasure would be a blown, black Charger or Challenger SRT8.

I don't doubt the ZL1's capabilities but for me, performance is only one aspect. This is purely subjective, obviously, but I find the exterior/interior styling of the Camaro a huge turn off. It's just trying too hard on the outside, combined with the Wal-Mart special interior. The Corvette is better, but, as a whole, they have never appealed to me. For the asking price of a ZL1, I would rather TT my Z and load it with suspension goodies, because it's more my style. Again this is purely subjective and to each his own. Good luck with whatever you do.

@strangergt -- I had the car for the full day to test drive. Everybody is entitled to there opinion and I am happy you like the zl1 but I do not.

I never said you couldn't hate the thing... but to say it blows at anything outside of a straight line is inaccurate...

I'm not exactly a fan of the GTR... but I'm not about to say its slow.

I have a 2SS, not a ZL1 and one thing i find it to be much better than my old 370z nismo is the V-8 sound (mine has the dual mode exhaust). It just sounds so powerful in normal driving conditions.

Well OP, I think you've pretty much heard it all from here. As a couple of other people here have said, if you are feeling the ZL1 more than the 370Z, then go for it man. Personally I wouldn't let a few other peoples' opinions change my mind if that is all they are. But if you truly are still up in the air about it, think about what you've got, and what you're getting.

One advantage I can see to the ZL1 is that you will have a back seat to throw the kids in. Granted, they most likely will not want to be there past the age of 10, due to lack of space, but at least they will be around for the thrill.

Me personally, I think I'll be biding my time before I get another toy. I hear that Chrysler is thinking about taking the mid-sized car in their line-up (Avenger, 200C) and making it rear-wheel drive. And they have developed a new Hemi, a 6.2L Supercharged V8 that is looking at over 600hp and around 640ft. lbs of torque, which they may drop into said mid-sized rear-wheel drive car. If that all proves to be true, that little beast will truly be a terror, most likely eating a ZL1 for lunch. It's all speculation though, and probably will not happen for a couple of years yet. (News: Barracuda dead, Avenger reborn?)

You may have noticed that I like Chryslers as well as Nissans...

All that aside, a lot of people like the retro look with the new pony cars, and Camaros are definitely enjoying a lot of time in the light. In the end, it sounds like it's just going to be a toy, so at least go with the toy that you like most.

Good luck chief!
