You hear about the new CAFE laws that may come to pass? they want to eliminate v8's and turn all camaro's, mustang's and challengers into powerful v6's for emission reasons

Of course we will dominate in terms of raw power. There isnt much of anything under $40k that will match us. But in terms on niceness, handling, braking, and styling, we've been out classed many times by many cars.

maybe camaros with bland styling (or the fact that 80% of the ones you see on the road are old, rusty, falling apart with shitty paint jobs and v6, and even the ones who drive V8 think that mustangs are faster LOL)

I don't know about you guys, but EVERY place I go and there is any car enthusiast around they stare, even people who don't know about our cars always wonder what's it gone done to it, and what kinda bodykit it is.

Styling is a thing of taste I guess, I LOVE ws6 style car, or firehawk, very futuristic in my opinion.

I will agree that maybe handling/braking and interior has been surpassed by the new cars, but all that can be fixed w/ the right ammount of $

I'd much rather put 2-3 grand in a complete leather wrapped interior 2 tone seats, Carputer and call it a day. We can always get a big brake kit/suspension mods to help w/ handling and all...

I like the new 370z a lot. I have always been a Z fan I guess, I may look into getting one of these after my next deployment. I'll never get rid of my birds but the miles are getting up there and this looks like it would be fun to drive.

Yea you have a good point Eddie. Ive always been the biggest pesisimst when it comes to my car. But maybe because the stock Z28's leave a little to be desired in terms on exterior styling. Plus i have to remember that our platform is really the exact same from 98' - 02'. Plus there have been large advancements in the past few years.
