Life is quite simple, if you got a little bit of Paul Walker in you, a little Need for Speed in your soul, you go with JDM's. If you want those big American horsepower numbers and a loud engine, you get the muscle ponies.
@@zacht9447 hahahahahahahaha hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha 300k in a Camaro maybe if you never go above 60mph or take off hard. JMD>Muscle looks better, more agile, and way more reliable with potential to be way faster than anything in it's class.
0:00 "Every once in a while when we were young we used to make comaprisons like whether a domestic car or muscle car was better then a tuner car because guess what, thats just how we do things when we're old or when we turn 65 years old." Ah. Those young little 65 year olds.
It's because you can't compare the 370z to any of the tuners cuz its already the best tuner car. Gotta compare it to the v8s. That's what I had to do when I was car shopping. I ended up comparing 370z to tuners and it wiped em all out. So I started comparing it to v8s and it can take on alot of them. Especially the older ones. Compared it to even the bi turbo v8 c63 and it does well. This 370z was cheaper than almost all of them too. Cheaper than stis and lancers, and way cheaper than the v8s. Almost 15k cheaper than the v8s. With that 15k you can get 1000 hp on your 370z. So yeah thats why they compared it to the Camaro. Because it stacks up.
Actually kind of smart you didn't get the manual. My slave cylinder went out a few weeks ago on mine. Lol you don't know how fun it is to have your clutch to the floor and not being able to shift.
I'm possible to see out of though 👀 I've owned one. Had to get a Mustang because it was just that bad, almost had multiple accidents because of how bad the blind spots are.
@@Sneaky5.sl0w. I've daily driven my SS for about 9 months now and haven't had a single issue almost hitting people, maybe you just don't know how to drive
Dude Alex i love the way you present in your vids. You keep the audience interested, you dont drone your conversations, and you are fun and full of energy. I love your "So You Want.." those are my favorite. This series is a good second. Keep making these banging videos thank you.
@Steven GENNERO Bootz I’m not sure but I think the nismo has a better suspension better aero and the engine is probably tuned for a little more power. I’m a Chevy guy so I’m not to sure with the nissans. I own a vq maxima tho lol
@Steven GENNERO Bootz If you do get a z, dont get nothing less than the sport model, the base is not worth it and the depreciation is bad on those. I have the 50th anniversary and basically the difference from this to the nismo is the s tune cat back exhaust & the aero & it has a better suspension. If you can find a good price I’d get the nismo but if not, the sport model is damn near the same. But donntttt get a base model! Now if you thinking bout ss or a z, it solely depends what youre doing with the car. Because the performance parts are expensive compared to other cars.
Loved this! I had a camaro and traded it in for a 370. It’s more my style and more of what I like. I totally agreed with everything you said in this video. Camaro is more practical on the daily but I love my z just that much more because it IS just a motor, a manual gear box ;), and 2 seats ready to attack anything. Awesome vid guys
Lol YouWontFindMe hows your Camaro doing? I’ve been wanting one for a minute just because of the easy power you can make. Does it get good gas mileage for a v8?
Brandon B it’s awesome! I daily drive it, always have been since 2018, and I couldn’t be any more happier! (Also I got the automatic which has the Active Fuel Management valves don’t in terms of gas mileage, it’s pretty good for a V8 that’s fbo, it really depends on how you drive tbh, cuz if u drive crazy and fast all the time then it won’t last more than maybe a week, but if you drive normally (u know like how you would in a daily) then it should last maybe 2 weeks? It also depends on how far u go, etc. But I usually get 25, maybe 35 mpg on 93 Octane pump gas (assuming I’m going the speed limit on my way to school) so yes tbh it depends on how u drive and if u have the manual or automatic, I imagine the manual might not be too bad but it’ll probably waste more gas due to not having the AFM valves
When I was in the market for a car it was between these two I went with the 370z Nismo for a couple reasons but a big one is I don't see them everywhere like the camaro. Mustangs, challengers, and camaros are a dime a dozen in south Louisiana. The 370z is here too but you for sure stand out more.
Likewise. I love hp but to me the z just looks perfect and as you said mustangs camaros etc. They're everywhere. So I went with a z and I'll just spend the money to get "mo powa"!!!
BULLSEYE good buddy. That's why I own a 17 Black Nismo. What folks don't understand is the handling, aerodynamics superiority of the Z. Plus, that 350 bhp is more like 400+ when you figure it isn't spinning a huge steel pipe. The driveshat is carbon fiber.....so the Z delivers more real power to the rear axles. I get folks ogling my car almost every other time I take it out. It's almost always the best looking vehicle in any parking lot!

Maybe I’m biased but I’ll still choose the Camaro. It’s something about the V8 shaking my garage door with headers and waking my neighbors when straight pipe that purifies my soul lol but i do want a 370z as a secondary car to fulfill my JDM goal
I got a 2014 370z Nismo, but I was honestly considering a 6th gen Mustang GT, particularly a 2018+ or a Camaro. I decided on the Z even if the other two options would've been the smarter choice out the door. I still love my Z though ❤️.
I had a 370z new off the lot when it came out the first year. I test drove the 2010 Camaro SS in 09 they had just made it to the Chevy dealers. They matched the same in performance but the Z handles like its on rails and to date one of the best handling cars. Couple of mods and your set but the 2016 SS 1LE is a better performing car.
@@ralphsmallblock4367 a base camaro SS will demolish a Nismo Z. You know how I know? because a V6 Camaro 1LE demolishes a Nismo Z, with pretty much the same suspension as the base SS.
zBlacklist yeah but they’re considerably sluggish in the top end on these cars and just make it pretty boring to drive. Almost mind numbing in my opinion
bless/yo/trap i have a 7at 370z and it’s sluggish when cruising, when racing the 7at sounds like a dct. if you have paddles shifters that shit fun as hell.
Sad the Z us automatic, manual is a lot of the fun in my Z. The Camaro definitely has more straight line speed but in the canyons, the Z is a beast and is so rewarding to drive. If you want to take on some muscle cars, force induction and you’re good
Code Cody yeah I don’t understand the people saying that the Camaro gets outhandled by the Z. The alpha chassis in the Camaro is flat out one of the best handling platforms in recent times. I’m not ashamed to admit my VQ would get handily spanked in the corners; the Camaro is just that good.
i like jdm cars im a jdm car guy , but i look at all cars from all places and love them and i got to tell you , THE NEW CAMARO IS A BEAST not only drag but a TRACK beast the camaro platform is faster then most supercars around the nurburgring , people should respect cars from all over the world , especially the new "muscle cars" but now they are proper sports cars putting to shame even the best jdm supercars like the NISMO GTR and alot of euro cars too in the corners , so if you live in america you should really start look into your domestic beasts in a different light , cuz they are AMAZING on the track , in my country we have like 2 SS ZL1 1LE and one of them is setting records in local tracks against one of a few GT3RS! we look at the camaro like A SUPER CAR BTW THE 370Z is a very good handling car its still competitive against cars like the BMW M2
@@Sneaky5.sl0w. Motor Trend said the Camaro was faster on the drag strip most of the time, but the Mustang was faster on a salt flat (basically in the long run). When it comes to the track though the Camaro is usually faster. The GT PP2 puts up similar lap times to the SS 1LE, but needs stickier tires to do so, and isn't as communicative.
I bought a 370z the day before yesterday. It's immediately my favorite car among all the ones I've owned or ever driven. I'm sure if I hopped in a Camaro, the shock and awe I'm experienced with the 370z's power and responsiveness would quickly be overshadowed, but at present, I adore the thing. All stock, with no intention of ever modifying. I don't think it needs it, and frankly, 95% of every modification I've ever seen on a car like this just makes it look tackier.
What timing. I'm currently in the dilemma of keeping my 370z or trading for a 2SS 1 LE or GT350...can't beat the looks of the Z and honestly it's a blast to drive. I've just always wanted a V8...may just end up waiting so I can keep the Z and have both.
I Use to drive a 5.0, not gonna lie the Nismo Z definitely lives up to its name. Ran an fbo 370z nismo w/no tune, gave him the hit twice, almost didn’t pass him until 130mph. If he was tuned I don’t think I’ll would’ve beat him. Mustang had exhaust and intake only tho.
Camaro SS eats the 370z ALIVE in every way it's faster, handles better, gets BETTER gas mileage, is cheaper to maintain, has a better interior/infotainment, and it looks SOOO much better
Bold of you to think I'm going to choose a muscle car over something JDM. Especially since I have a G37 (wHiCh Is BaSiCaLlY a SkYlINe BeCaUsE tHaT's WhAt It Is In JaPaN)
you can’t pretend deterrence of the cringe that is the skyline argument. Admit it that was part of it when you got it. (Because I did the same thing....)
I almost got a Camaro and so glad I didn't. I wouldn't be happy looking at it everyday. Stock for stock, I'll take the 370z and for modded I'd still take the Z. Both cars are great, but my main go to is looks since you can change out parts and make either car faster
@@_Zoctane you sound dumb... Show me a bolt-on only 370z with full interior running 10's in the 1/4mile... a camaro will ALWAYS HAVE A HIGHER TUNNING POTENTIAL then a 370z ALWAYS...
I really like both cars, my mom has 2013 ss and it's fun and comfy. When I was looking for a new car I was looking at a bunch, one being 370z. That was my close second, but the s2000 beat it for me
@@renejuarez3859 i have a Camaro and i second that comment, the last "Muscle" cars by Chevy and Ford were in 2015; yes the new ones might be faster but they lack the cosmetic escense that muscle cars have except for the Challenger.
I love my 2018 Camaro 2SS, it’s my perfect, modded daily driver, I love it! My mods: (no cam but it’s full bolt on, long tube headers, e85, ported tb and intake manifold, axle back exhaust, oil catch can, and that’s about it in terms of performance other than tinted side markers, and tail lights my car looks completely stock but isn’t lol I love it!
@@patrickhalbeisen1440 There's no point throwing on FI on the 370z at that point. May as well get a car that can handle boost from factory. That stock block stuff are only reliable for so long otherwise say hello to forged internals which is $$$$$. And that's quite literally the only way to do forced induction on the VQ platforms properly.
@@patrickhalbeisen1440 if you think they are fast, YOU have no clue about cars. I've driven and raced both. never seen a fast Z in my life. sorry buddy, they're dogshit slow
I didn’t have to watch the whole video to know you are a japanese car enthusiast, you can’t compare a japanese car and a muscle car, these are two different type of cars.
Not really...they are both performance oriented cars with similar price tags. The funny thing is despite what the reviewer thinks he felt the Camaro SS, even without the 1LE package is still the better handling stock car.
@@carhecz4200 You could probably get a V6 1LE used for that much, possibly even new. Heck...here's even a 2017 SS for $27k with 17k miles on it, so it's not that different.
I love 370z's as I own a 370z, but a 6th gen Camaro SS with the 1LE package is the best of both worlds! You get a car from the factory that you can take straight to the track.
While I do appreciate the skill it takes to drive any high power car, I will never complain about it getting easier. That is how it is supposed to work as we learn. Manuals are fun, My 370 is a 6 speed, but any car can be fun if it is simply set up to be. I think my wife's turbo Escape would rip with a 10 speed lol. It rips pretty good now.
Welp, if I lived up north by you guys I donate my car for a GTO vs Challenger vid. That would be super interesting. But on topic I'd pick the Camaro just for the fact there's more space in there than a Z.
He was so biased and admitted it. He likes the 370 bc he’s a ff movie fanboy but this is a comparison which car is better so to sum it up camaro is faster, better looking even he said it, better sounding again even he said it in the video, more practical and it’s a manual and better technology including the magnetic suspension obviously the camaro is the better car.
My thing with the 370 is Nissan lightened it compared to the 350, shaved off almost 5" (100") of wheelbase, and people still say it's not very engaging. I've never properly driven one but i would think with some mods around the suspension and chassis it would be far more fun to drive than a 3700lb car with a 110" wheelbase.
@@cokemachine62590 I bought my used 2016 2ss for 33k in 2016, and I was in the market for 370z in that time too, most of them were late 20s, still no way near half price
@@RidingNomad the 370Z from the video was a 2009 (I think, I've watched a few 370Z videos today).. that's why.. probably a $15-18k car depending on miles
Kawasaki Rider You were shopping for used 2016 models in 2016? And the price difference between the two was still that significant? Yes, it’s not half price he was exaggerating I guess
There's always a lot of U.S based bashing of the Z, but where I live if you want an affordable newer, 2 door coupe with a powerful engine with a rwd drive train there isn't much else. We don't have the muscle cars available you do unless you import them and then you might as well get something else locally for the price. Otherwise you're getting a brz or mx5
Sadly I gotta give thumbs down to both cars because they are automatic. Just a car guy thing, I just see it pointless to buy a fast car if it's auto unless it's a lambo or super/hyper car it ain't a real car it does the work for you. That's the best part of driving fast cars is getting to shift it and choose the Rpms to shift at and be able to rev with the clutch not putting it in N to rev it which is lame lol but nice cars overall for looks

What if you can’t choose and you choose both in 1 car. Can you mix a tuner car with a muscle car? Bring the both into 1 car

zBlacklist and you’re wife’s boyfriend smashes her better
zBlacklist yeah but they’re considerably sluggish in the top end on these cars and just make it pretty boring to drive. Almost mind numbing in my opinion
bless/yo/trap i have a 7at 370z and it’s sluggish when cruising, when racing the 7at sounds like a dct. if you have paddles shifters that shit fun as hell.
@@fananderson3913 God this is best comment I've seen in years and very real.
Just picked up a z. 6 speed manual. Exhuast and tune done. I love it. So much fun to drive. No regrets
Sad the Z us automatic, manual is a lot of the fun in my Z. The Camaro definitely has more straight line speed but in the canyons, the Z is a beast and is so rewarding to drive. If you want to take on some muscle cars, force induction and you’re good
I wish it was manual too but I still love it! 🤘
I’d challenge that one. A 1LE SS has wider front tires than the Z has rear tires AND they both weigh the same.
The Camaro stomps the 370 in every way. It's not even close.
Code Cody yeah I don’t understand the people saying that the Camaro gets outhandled by the Z. The alpha chassis in the Camaro is flat out one of the best handling platforms in recent times. I’m not ashamed to admit my VQ would get handily spanked in the corners; the Camaro is just that good.
Why do people care about how other people shift their car? I never understood this.. none of you will drive their car.
I went from a 2013 G37 Sedan(340rwhp) to a '21 Camaro SS1LE MANUAL!!
370z = Japanese Mustang
Not very accurate. Mustang is a pony car. It's just a straight line big boy. 370z is a genuine two seat sports car. It's a track monster.
i like jdm cars im a jdm car guy , but i look at all cars from all places and love them and i got to tell you , THE NEW CAMARO IS A BEAST not only drag but a TRACK beast the camaro platform is faster then most supercars around the nurburgring , people should respect cars from all over the world , especially the new "muscle cars" but now they are proper sports cars putting to shame even the best jdm supercars like the NISMO GTR and alot of euro cars too in the corners , so if you live in america you should really start look into your domestic beasts in a different light , cuz they are AMAZING on the track , in my country we have like 2 SS ZL1 1LE and one of them is setting records in local tracks against one of a few GT3RS!
we look at the camaro like A SUPER CAR
BTW THE 370Z is a very good handling car its still competitive against cars like the BMW M2
I daily my 10 Z and I love it.
I like both, but I think I'd go with the Z. I love the way it handles
The Camaro handles better. That is not subjective, it is pure fact. Your feelings won’t change that. Google it, get your feelings hurt.
Would love to see a Camaro and mustang comparison
Camaros, are always faster when you match the years. Alwaaays
zBlacklist plus that SS was pretty good looking
@@alabamaautoenthusiasts22 2019 Camaro 10Spd vs 2019 Mustang GT 10spd, Mustang is faster.
@@Sneaky5.sl0w. not to mention modded and how much power stock internals on a coyote can handle
@@Sneaky5.sl0w. Motor Trend said the Camaro was faster on the drag strip most of the time, but the Mustang was faster on a salt flat (basically in the long run).
When it comes to the track though the Camaro is usually faster. The GT PP2 puts up similar lap times to the SS 1LE, but needs stickier tires to do so, and isn't as communicative.
I bought a 370z the day before yesterday. It's immediately my favorite car among all the ones I've owned or ever driven. I'm sure if I hopped in a Camaro, the shock and awe I'm experienced with the 370z's power and responsiveness would quickly be overshadowed, but at present, I adore the thing. All stock, with no intention of ever modifying. I don't think it needs it, and frankly, 95% of every modification I've ever seen on a car like this just makes it look tackier.
alex confirmed doug fan
loved this vid, def do more like this. intro is a bit too long tho
Who doesn't love doug in the car community though
His interactions with the owners in these videos are gold😂
S2000 or boosted Miata?
S2k
Boosted Miata is a literal v8 killer. Do u want to go fast and lose the handling and just drive fast in a straight line or be canyon carver
s2000 hands down
Kswaped Miata
S2K
That Z is so crispy though, much love for the Nissan platform.
What timing. I'm currently in the dilemma of keeping my 370z or trading for a 2SS 1 LE or GT350...can't beat the looks of the Z and honestly it's a blast to drive. I've just always wanted a V8...may just end up waiting so I can keep the Z and have both.
If you're craving power and don't want to spend $10k+ on boosting the Z I would go with 2SS 1LE all day!
350 is OP
Chevy build better engines than Ford. I am a truck driver and I have delivered freight to Ford plant. I would not trust them with anything.
This is probably my favorite FI video now. Love VQ's
Agree, everybody low key wants the Z, but jumping in the pony wagon,,, man boost that Z, by by cammy.
Seriously tho, I love domestic, but would choose a stang Over a cammy
Without hesitation i’d choose the 2SS.
Profile pic checks out
Believe it or not, but I would too
For some reason me too
Two beautiful ladies driving sports coupes, awesome and one is manual even more awesome... Shout out to both of them 💪🏾
We need to see at least one of your 20 porsches you got Alex , come on bud🤷♂️
I started watching this 10 hours ago and I'm just now getting around to finishing it😂😂😂
Step up to a 1LE. Love mine. 370 can't compete.
Nismo.😎
Agreed. And I'd also like to know where she got that car for 30k lol
I Use to drive a 5.0, not gonna lie the Nismo Z definitely lives up to its name. Ran an fbo 370z nismo w/no tune, gave him the hit twice, almost didn’t pass him until 130mph. If he was tuned I don’t think I’ll would’ve beat him. Mustang had exhaust and intake only tho.
I own a 2017 370z Nismo that being said the Camaro is on a different level of performance
I love the Camaro’s license plate lmao 😂
what song is used starting at 0:28 ?
Camaro SS eats the 370z ALIVE in every way it's faster, handles better, gets BETTER gas mileage, is cheaper to maintain, has a better interior/infotainment, and it looks SOOO much better
love how the name of the 370z owner is anna, same name as the need for speed heat character who also drove a 370z
Id pick the 370Z becuase i like FD
🤘
@@clutchkickanna that picture of the z in your profile pic no ways
Ammaar ARgaming614 Rifai yeah that’s her Z
Ammaar ARgaming614 Rifai Yeah it’s mine! 🙏
I daily a Base Z in Quebec city. We get 250 to 300in of snow each year. Its a fun car with the proper tires
Bold of you to think I'm going to choose a muscle car over something JDM. Especially since I have a G37 (wHiCh Is BaSiCaLlY a SkYlINe BeCaUsE tHaT's WhAt It Is In JaPaN)
you can’t pretend deterrence of the cringe that is the skyline argument. Admit it that was part of it when you got it. (Because I did the same thing....)
🙏
@@thetangentshow4797 actually no 😂 I wanted a 370, but I live in Michigan so I needed the AWD. I found out about the Skyline thing after I bought it
You know some people like 15 year old v6 engines that use more oil than tanning salons.
I have a 2014 Taurus SHO because I wanted awd in the winter. It’s my winter beater and beat on it I do.
Grew up up in south Florida is all about JDM baby Tuner head fo life lol 🚗 🚘
It would be nice to know what music you guys used in the video.
Agreed
I almost got a Camaro and so glad I didn't. I wouldn't be happy looking at it everyday. Stock for stock, I'll take the 370z and for modded I'd still take the Z. Both cars are great, but my main go to is looks since you can change out parts and make either car faster
LOL. Stock for Stock Camaro is better. Modded for Modded Camaro is better.
@@svn5994 As I stated I was talking about looks. I prefer the Z. The camaro is just too ugly to me 😂
@@svn5994 lol sound dumb... modded or modded cars would both still be dead even in power... both cars are great.
@@_Zoctane you sound dumb...
Show me a bolt-on only 370z with full interior running 10's in the 1/4mile... a camaro will ALWAYS HAVE A HIGHER TUNNING POTENTIAL then a 370z ALWAYS...
Personally I like the Frankensteins (engine swaps). A 350z with a LS swap is like perfect to me, and you can still do all the turbo stuff to the V8
Tuner........Muscle Car......no comparison
So.....anybody know the song?
Such a stupid comparison. The 370z isn’t even in the same league as the Camaro. Not even close smh
I really like both cars, my mom has 2013 ss and it's fun and comfy. When I was looking for a new car I was looking at a bunch, one being 370z. That was my close second, but the s2000 beat it for me
Yooo I legit was comparing the 2 back in May. I went with a Silver 2SS
That's the best sounding 370Z I've ever heard. How do I make my Z sound like that? Which headers and exhaust?
Okay what is that intro song??
PLEASE!!!
Gosh that LT motor sounds good. I’ve always wanted both of these cars.
Yes! I’ve been waiting for a 370z vid.
Handling on my 350z is what I desire most ,it needs to be as sturdy as possible ,power is good enough
The camaro honestly looks way more of a tuner car than a pony/muscle car.
True the s550 does too kind off i think thats why they say the only real muscle car left is the challenger
@@renejuarez3859 i have a Camaro and i second that comment, the last "Muscle" cars by Chevy and Ford were in 2015; yes the new ones might be faster but they lack the cosmetic escense that muscle cars have except for the Challenger.
I love my 2018 Camaro 2SS, it’s my perfect, modded daily driver, I love it!
My mods:
(no cam but it’s full bolt on, long tube headers, e85, ported tb and intake manifold, axle back exhaust, oil catch can, and that’s about it in terms of performance other than tinted side markers, and tail lights my car looks completely stock but isn’t lol I love it!
sounds amazing! do you have an instagram page for your car?
inlove with that z, she's a thic beauty!
You should 350z vs schassis. Ended up selling my z was to slow for the amount of money I had been dumping into it. Got a built 240sx 410whp now.
Sounds like you already know what would win🤷🏼♂️😂
I would definitely take the 2SS
Great vid btw, really enjoyed it. You’re a well spoken and witty dude, and you know your stuff. Well done
Camaro no question, performance wise it will MURDER that 370 in any metric you can imagine. Looks are subjective but to me it looks better as well.
With the price of the camaro you can fi your 370
@@patrickhalbeisen1440 if you're paying cash that makes sense...otherwise no. they're still slow af
@@robquin2460 if you think they are slow then you habe no clue about cars
@@patrickhalbeisen1440 There's no point throwing on FI on the 370z at that point. May as well get a car that can handle boost from factory. That stock block stuff are only reliable for so long otherwise say hello to forged internals which is $$$$$. And that's quite literally the only way to do forced induction on the VQ platforms properly.
@@patrickhalbeisen1440 if you think they are fast, YOU have no clue about cars. I've driven and raced both. never seen a fast Z in my life. sorry buddy, they're dogshit slow
I like your get down. I could listen to you ramble about cars for hours lol
I didn’t have to watch the whole video to know you are a japanese car enthusiast, you can’t compare a japanese car and a muscle car, these are two different type of cars.
Not really...they are both performance oriented cars with similar price tags.
The funny thing is despite what the reviewer thinks he felt the Camaro SS, even without the 1LE package is still the better handling stock car.
Dolby109 I bought a 2018 sport package Z for 25k under 10k miles. I could never find a sport model camaro ss for that price
@@carhecz4200 You could probably get a V6 1LE used for that much, possibly even new.
Heck...here's even a 2017 SS for $27k with 17k miles on it, so it's not that different.
Thought the same thing lol
I love 370z's as I own a 370z, but a 6th gen Camaro SS with the 1LE package is the best of both worlds! You get a car from the factory that you can take straight to the track.
Is that factory blue on that Camaro or a custom paint? Either way looks awesome and the carbon compliments it well! 👍
Hyper blue metallic! Factory my man
Yep, it’s a really good factory paint considering GM isn’t known for good paint.
While I do appreciate the skill it takes to drive any high power car, I will never complain about it getting easier. That is how it is supposed to work as we learn. Manuals are fun, My 370 is a 6 speed, but any car can be fun if it is simply set up to be. I think my wife's turbo Escape would rip with a 10 speed lol. It rips pretty good now.
You listen to Metallica when driving a Camaro it’s a must 🤘🏽
I wouldn't want to be depressed driving my 50,000 sports car
Eewww no
Welp, if I lived up north by you guys I donate my car for a GTO vs Challenger vid. That would be super interesting. But on topic I'd pick the Camaro just for the fact there's more space in there than a Z.
GTO for me. I may be a little biased though lol
@@GoatGirl314 same here
He was so biased and admitted it. He likes the 370 bc he’s a ff movie fanboy but this is a comparison which car is better so to sum it up camaro is faster, better looking even he said it, better sounding again even he said it in the video, more practical and it’s a manual and better technology including the magnetic suspension obviously the camaro is the better car.
ppl watch FF movies and all of a sudden think the Z is fast on winding roads lmao there's nothing faker than those movies
My thing with the 370 is Nissan lightened it compared to the 350, shaved off almost 5" (100") of wheelbase, and people still say it's not very engaging. I've never properly driven one but i would think with some mods around the suspension and chassis it would be far more fun to drive than a 3700lb car with a 110" wheelbase.
The 370z half the price of the Camaro? Dude they almost have the same MSRP
He meant used market value
@@cokemachine62590 I bought my used 2016 2ss for 33k in 2016, and I was in the market for 370z in that time too, most of them were late 20s, still no way near half price
@@RidingNomad the 370Z from the video was a 2009 (I think, I've watched a few 370Z videos today).. that's why.. probably a $15-18k car depending on miles
@@cokemachine62590 comparing used to new? Lol
Kawasaki Rider You were shopping for used 2016 models in 2016? And the price difference between the two was still that significant? Yes, it’s not half price he was exaggerating I guess
There's always a lot of U.S based bashing of the Z, but where I live if you want an affordable newer, 2 door coupe with a powerful engine with a rwd drive train there isn't much else. We don't have the muscle cars available you do unless you import them and then you might as well get something else locally for the price.
Otherwise you're getting a brz or mx5

370z all the way!😍
Sadly I gotta give thumbs down to both cars because they are automatic. Just a car guy thing, I just see it pointless to buy a fast car if it's auto unless it's a lambo or super/hyper car it ain't a real car it does the work for you. That's the best part of driving fast cars is getting to shift it and choose the Rpms to shift at and be able to rev with the clutch not putting it in N to rev it which is lame lol but nice cars overall for looks
I need a shift boot like that 370z had so people dont know my cars a auto
That's kinda sad, just trade it for a manual lol
Drive it in manual mode we wont tell the difference
Don’t be ashamed, drive what you want. It’s YOUR car, not theirs.
