^ most quality & repair issues you refer to from this forum originate from Zs that are modified in one way or another, either heavily or lightly. stock for stock, i do believe most would agree (as it's been extensively documented as well) that the Z would be more reliable than its comparable domestic counterpart.
Enjoy your camaro....thanks for the z times, and the hell with what anyone has to say if it's not positive. You like cars and that's that. I have seen many a camaro already stomp stock and modified z's. enjoy...becareful

Camaro length: 190"
Challenger length: 197"
Both are still great strides towards bringing back some old school American Muscle which I enjoy.
OP, best of luck with the new Camaro!
No replacement for displacement! I was going to get one but my Clk55 is equally fast and has all the lux amenties. Sorry to say I sat in the new Camaro SS-cheap interior. Also in 3+years they are going to be dime a dozen.
^^ You are correct.
Unfortunately for the Camaro, its “rebirth” happened about the same time GM when into bankruptcy, and the new Camaro is certainly a victim.
On first glance looking at it from the outside, it looks cool and aggressive. Unfortunately close inspection shows a cheap car with heavy and slow handling, a rough shifting transmission, an awful plastic interior, and more deficiencies than any potential buyer wants in this type of car. It’s just a big disappointment.

Both the Corvette and the Z are great cars and I'm happy to have both in the garage. I'm still unsure on the Camaro...really thought I liked it until I (finally) looked at a Challenger. If I were wanting to go resto---I'd buy the Challenger if I could get over my Chrysler-phobia (bad experience with a car and family members' experiences).
