camaro owner !!! need your advice about 350z !!
Having owned both I really miss my LS1, and would stick with the Camaro, if you really just want to get something different, why not a Corvette, maybe an '04 Z06?
thanks for your comments... I know my car is more powerful ...faster than any model 350z....
but I can't deny these facts :
1- my car has ugly interior comparing to the z
2- my car has a very bad handling
3- the camaro is not comfortable as a daiy driving car.. I only drive it at weekends, and when I get home, I usualy tired from the hard driving (m6) and the loudness of the raspy exhaust .
4- the z looks somehow better than the camaro
5- since I got married , I stopped street racing and still love sports cars and I want a car that I drive it whenever I want !! not only at weekends !!
Also, this is a good thread for some general information on the different year and model Z's:

Best bet for you is to go and test drive one, or bug a friend who has one to let you drive it and get a feel for it. Then you can properly make your own decision if its the right move for you.
Also, this is a great resource for learing about the 350z and its different options, models, etc.

Are z28's supposed to be faster than '03 z's?? I'm asking because me and my friend with a 97 z28 took a couple of runs and I took him everytime haha just wondering. We went from a complete stop, a 60 roll, and once I even gave him a two car lead on a roll and still took him

ls2's are a much better race for a n/a z

Do you often seek out the opinions of complete strangers for financial advise and what your personal taste should be. Welcome to the information super highway instead of asking the info you seek it can be found with little to no effort but of course not as little than asking others
Last I knew this was a discussion forum where people discuss things.
ETA SInce I own a Z I'm going to recommend that. A good friend has a Trans Am (similar) and although it has a lot of torque which is fun, that is only one aspect of driving. The Z as others have said is much more nimble. In addition, I get compliments on my car from strangers on a daily basis.

I had a procharged 2000 Z28, which blew up in my driveway, almost killed me. (Fuel line rupture)That was when I said screw the muscle, I'm going import, and got a GST Eclipse. After owning that, I traded it in with 140k miles on it, still going strong. GOT THE 2004.5 Z. Since then, every day, I have a smile on my face while driving. That was 2.5 years ago. Still love it. I liked my Z28, but I am here to tell you, I get more looks and compliments from people for my 350, than I ever did with the Z28. Plus, they are not as common around here. I love it. Handles great, insurance is good, and fuel....omfg that LS1 drink that stuff like I drink beer..... You won't regret your purchase. Get rid of the Z28.
I've owned a Camaro and now a Touring 350ZR By comparison the older Camaros handle like a truck - not sure about the new one. I am in a 6 banger 2010 RENTAL Rustang this week while my Z is in the body shop getting some customization done... Between me and the fence post the mustang handles like a truck too...
For a drive to work there is nothing as exhilarating for the money as a Z... A sweeping on ramp to the freeway and the Z will walk away from almost everyone and be a 1/2 mile down the freeway before the followers exit the ramp. What a wake up call!

i went the opposite, a 350z to a 98 z28 camaro lol. camaros are the best bang for the buck and much more comfortable to drive than a Z IMO. road noise is higher in a 350z. the Z has mad handles in comparison and in looks but costs 2-4 times as much. you'll get worse freeway mileage in a 350z and city mileage has been the same for me in both cars

i used to have a 2000 ss and currently have an '05z, and the ss got more compliments than the z does by far.
Having owned both i really miss my ls1, and would stick with the camaro, if you really just want to get something different, why not a corvette, maybe an '04 z06?

Ummm, why arent you looking at used Vettes! The 05 LS2's are really really cheap now.
The 350Z is just as impractical as a one. Might as well get a Vette. I cant wait to pay my car off and get my LS3!!
The Vette is better looking, gets more respect, handles better and is LIGHTYEARS faster.
Please OP dont consider a Z unless you really just like the car personally. Most people trade there Z's in for Vettes...Remember that.
