I've always had a soft spot for the Z-Cars ever since the early 70's, and I just read the Car and Driver short review of the car and I must say, at least on paper, I am impressed. the exterior dimensions and the wheelbase were shrunk and the HP is up to 330, but torque is a little low at 270. I wonder how much that can be improved. The wheels are a little bit, 19 inches, but hey at least there not 20's. It also comes with 4 piston brakes. They managed to keep the weight at 3300-3400 lbs, meet the new crash test standards, and Nissan claims the car is stiffer than the last model. The question is, will it be a competitive Street Prepaired car. I think the current model runs in BSP. Could this be a potential replacement for the SS when the time comes. I'm not sure, but I do know for sure I won't be buying a 2 Ton pig.

Not that GM couldn't make the Camaro smaller or a little lighter, but if they did, would the LS2/3 or what ever V8 variant they decided on fit? Would the lighter weight drivetrain hold the torque? Maybe there is a reason Nissan limited the torque to only 270. On the other hand, the rear suspension on the Camaro appears to be designed by Peterbuilt. I can't image how they could add any more weight to it. The 'vette and Solstice rear suspensions are far more elegant and lighter looking so I don't quite understand what happened on the Camaro. But the 370 is not my style.
