1. Economy is slightly depressed, the towns are not expanding rapidly, I want to live near town without being enveloped soon. I like living on 40-60 acres and miss it from my childhood. Services will be cheaper due to repressed economy, me working in healthcare won't get hit too hard by it. 2. I LOVE the scenery. 3. Last time I was there, the people were very friendly. Don't believe all the inbreeding jokes you hear about that state, they only apply to the southern half I think. 4. Some of my best friends moved there. Every time I make friends here in LA, they get sick of the area and leave.  ____________ Back on topic, the Camaro SS in 3rd gear at 4500rpm is putting down around 1800# of torque to the rear tires once gearing from trans and diff and 370wtq at 4500rpm (taken from a dyno sheet) are figured in. The 370Z is only putting down @ 1379. The tires on the 370Z are superior to what GM puts on the Camaro. The longer wheel-base should serve to hurt weight transfer in the Camaro. The front-weight bias of the Camaro should FURTHER hamper it. Yet it's planted, according to one poster, when his NISMO spins (3rd gear). The ONLY!* logical thing to fall back on is Work being a factor of Time AND! Energy There is no other assumption to be made than that when the go-pedal in the 370Z is depressed, the maximum available power hits the rear wheels over a shorter time-span than when the same occurs in the Camaro, shortening the time-frame available for the car to load the rear suspension and transfer weight/gain traction. *I could not find spring-rates for a stock Camaro SS and 370Z, so I am unable to hypothesize about this variable which WOULD factor.
