If you care about customer service and the way you are treated and don't want things falling apart, and don't want to listen to 100's of rattles coming from your car, go with Toyota. Because the fact of the matter is Nissan's service sucks. The Z was my frist Nissan product, and the happiest day in my life was when I traded it for a Lexus. I now understand what out of the 3 biggest Jap imports, Nissan is number 3, which equals last.

 

With no offense intended to you or your opinions... but I have just never really realized how some of these kids actually have the ***** to compare family sedans to sports cars like the Z. I know at least 3 people who are avidly like this, and they try to bash the Z by comparing it to sedans and saying how sedans are faster.

There is NO family sedan (Evo/STi don't count) that outperforms similarly priced Zs. To get a family sedan that will outperform a Z, you have to go at least $20k up. With all due respect, for $20k, I'd get myself a nice TT and end of discussion.

 

this shouldnt even be an argument get the camry u dont know or appreciate cars enohg to get a Z

 

Do you want a sedan or a coupe?
Do you want comfort or performance?
Do you want an old people looking car, or a flash car?

 

They need to seriously lock this thread...The Camry IS and ALWAYS was a lame a_zz boring car for mindless drones who view cars as a means to get from "Point A to Point B".

ANY comparison whatsoever to the Z is non-substantial....PERIOD!

NOW...LETS DO THIS:

 

 

And fairladyZ sounds mannish????

 

wow ok...look at the Z and look at the Camry? tell me which one looks better? which one turns heads? which one would get the girl? nuff said.

 

Camry FAST FACTS!!

1. Available at Enterprise Rent-A-Car for $39.99 per day ...WOW!! (Cool Points LOST = 2,000)

2. Probably would have to "special order" a Manual Trans. Model from Japan (Cool Points LOST = 10,000)

3. You'll blend right in with your boring a_zz neighbors (who also have Camrys and Avalons) + Your parents and grandparents will give you a thumbs up (Cool Points LOST = 1,000,000,000 + the square root of pi (SQRT pi = 1.7724538509055160272981674833)


It's too painful to go on....but ya'll get the idea

In order to make the Camry "appear" cool ...Toyota hired James Bond 007 to drive a Camry SE in the next Bond flick! Here's a promo pic!!!

 

i wonder what they would say if u posted this in a Camry forum. i think the majority would pick the Z. But i guess in real life, family and everyday driving situations the Camry might suit you better then a 2 seater sports car

 

Hertz rents Zs.

Special order can be for any reason, not just tranny. My MT6 Z had to be ordered from Tochigi.

Basically, the two cars are much too different to measure against "cool" points, but that point has already been beaten to death here.

 

Why are these two cars even being compared. I think your decision is pretty obvious, do you want a sports car or a family car?

 

LOL...you on crack?

 

Has any female in the WHOLE F**KIN WORLD said........

"Hey Take Me For A Ride in Your sexy CAMRY?"

NEVER WILL HAPPEN,... EVER..... OK!!!

Comparing the Z, to the all mighty "CAMRARI" -HAHAHAHA DIE NOW... OK!

Dude get an A4 or a C230 if you want a sedan.

 

You guys are funny. Why's it's so damn hard to accept the fact that the V6 Camry will most likely give any 350Z a hard run for it's money. This is very much the same engine that powers the IS350 to 13.7@102mph stock. The new Car & Driver tested the new ES350 and it did 14.7@97mph and 0-60 in 6.0. The ES350 weighs about 200lbs more than the Camry SE V6. My cousin recently purchased an ES350 and I can firmly say that from a roll, the car does feel all as quick as my G35 auto which does 14.3s@98mph. I think it's entirely plausible for a 268hp 3,500lb sedan to be running mid 14s pretty easily seeing that my bonestock G35 auto with a rated 260hp has done run three 14.3s and six 14.4s with traps in the 97-98mph range. You guys need to wake up. Sure, the Camry is not a sports car, but it is pretty dang quick for a family hauler.

 

someone please lock this thread... i dunno wtf a camry is doing on our forum.

 

+1

 

If that's the case then why are C5s/C6s, Z06's, Ferrari's, AMG Benzs, etc mentioned in this forum too? All those cars are way out of a 350Z's league so why do they get so much mention in here? I guess I'm one of the few realists in this forum that actually understands something about power to weight ratios. Is a Camry a 350Z competitior? No. Does it handle and brake as good? No. Is it comparable in speed? Yes. I think a lot of Z owners will be pretty shocked when Camry's on faster tracks in the Northeast and FL on the winter start posting stock 14.0-14.2 slips. IMO, a stock mid to low 14 second Camry sounds quite odd to me because most people that buy Camry's don't give a lick about speed......but I respect the speed potential of the car plus I think it's buy far the best Camry ever built. I'd definitely choose it over a Maxima or Altima.

 

The Camry can be built to be God's gift to the automotive world. It'll still be a Camry. It will still represent compromise, run-of-the mill, middle-of-the road, etc, etc, etc. Sure the new design looks hot now, but wait two years when every other car will be a Camry......in Beige! with scratches and dings. I will never buy a Camry, simply because it is exactly that.....a Camry.

 

HOW CAN YOU COMPARE Z with CAMRY!!!!!!!!!!
