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.

The funny thing about the weight of the new Camaro is that it is only a little heavier than a well optioned 4th gen. There are bunches of 3700-3800lbs 4th gens out there. Add the excess amounts of steel to make a 5 star crash car, useless mega huge rims, and a handful of other trinkets and it is easy to see where the extra 100bos came from.
I am also better than the 370Z, much like the 350Z, is going to be a middle fo the road performer at best. I have driven several 350's and it is about as boring a driving experience as one can find in anything selling itself as a sports car. |
