Default To Hell With Imports!!!

Well guys...I'm in the process of selling my 350Z and buying an SS. I gave the imports a try for two years and enough is enough. It'll be great to drive American car again.

Unless you're looking to accommodate 4 people or drag race, I won't trade a 350Z for a SS.

Welcome. FYI: The f bodies were made in Canada. So they could be classified as imports also.

seeing prices of headers for the 350z or looking at the engine compartment would be reason enough for me not to get one. its a nice car but ss camaro deffintly more desireable for the hp enthusiest. top end pull.. another reason the 350z in stock form becomes a dog in accel after 85 90 mph. where as the ls1 is still pinnin you in the seat. yes i have driven both. the only thing i like about a 350z more then an ss is the precise steering feel. i think my ss just needs some new parts though were as my sisters 350z i drove (alot) was brand new(11k miles) my 84 outhandles both due to highly $$$ suspension (as long as your out of the gas). still wondering what Your reasoning behind getting rid of it though? id rather keep the 350z if i already had it due to the hassles of getting a different car..
the camaro doesnt outshine the 350z too bad imo. if i was keeping the car stock i would actually take the 350z over any new dodge short of the viper+ any ford under the performance of the gt500 mustang.

350Z is a girl's car. If it came with a turbo, I'd think otherwise though.

Bottom line is this, I own a helluva 02 Camaro SS that I can honestly say is a true Muscle car, nothing you can do to the 350Z will ever earn it that title.

It's also a car for the typical gay male couple. I've seen my of fair share of gay males and 350Z's.

Not again...

So, by that standard, every McDonald hamburger that was made outside of the United States, is now considered to be a foreign food...?

If you say so... Standard or truth?
