Ok I am posting this as i can not decide which I like better.
2002 camaro z28 6 speed manual
2003 nissan 350z 6 speed manual
the camaro has cheaper parts and is faster in a straight line from the factory so i would never mess with the engine.
the 350z is lighter, has what I think is perfect handling stock (nice on bumps and great on corners) and enough power for what it is.
the camaro has more space (rear seats, trunk), but the 350z has a smaller steering wheel, tighter turning circle, perfect gauge placement, cup holders you can actually use (camaro is same as a 3g)
so essentially if i got the 350z i wouldn't mod it at all, the camaro i would probably sink $3k into suspension mods to get close to the 350z. also my last camaro couldn't make it up my 30 degree driveway that the jackass that made it fucked up. theres too much overhang off each end
also, both cars suck in the snow, but at least the 350z i can put in a quaife differential to help out (did wonders for my 3g)
as for insurance i just checked, both cars are exactly $20 a month more for me
the camaro runs on regular gas but i really don't care about that. i would probably have it tuned to run on premium anyways.
the 350z from the factory runs staggered tire widths it appears but i think i could throw 235's up front to make it even. camaro is 245's all the way around
both have identical brake setups: abs 4 channel with front and rear vented and dual piston calipers up front.
the camaro has one of the largest aftermarket supports available should i get the urge (keep in mind trying to use as a daily)
if i can't make up my mind i will just wait until the g37 coupe is cheaper and save in the meantime.
