Only downside is that there is going to be a V6 Version. That means you'll start seeing one in every block. It will get old pretty fast, just like the mustang, because everyone will be able to afford it.

well ill shed some light on the 18 and getting a z. Honestly if you have the maturity and the strength to keep things in line, honestly you shouldnt have no problem. Honestly i was around 18 when i got my 07z. At the end of last year i wasnt making good decisions, not good at all and got some trouble with the law. I learned my mistake and thank God i never hurt anyone, learn from other peoples mistakes and try not to make them.
Now comparing the 350z and the new 370z to the new camero, the reason why i got a z is becuase one i like sport racing. On that note the z is a good all around car, you got your track racing, drag racing, and of course Drifting
. Its a good all around car and it will help develop what you want in a car in years to come.
The camero on the other hand has sharpen there tools as in handling but still i bet with some after market mod it would be rather good but still not like the z. Yes, bang for your buck you will get with the camera on bolt on mods compared to the z.
What this all ***** down to is if you like the muscle car look or a foreign made car.

lol. Actually from the info we have available now the Z will have better gas mileage, handling and interior. Exterior design is not an arguable plus/minus.

P.S. Yes, that rhymes but it was unintentional alright?

How exactly does that make you an experienced driver? Im 25 now and ive owned fast cars since I was 16(camaro, 3 trans ams, supra, rx7 and this car) I think its more of luck and skill..because Ill admit when I was 18 I was prolly the most immature driver around and luckily im still here with no fatalities or accidents under my belt.

There is no such thing as a fast car in a typical persons budget, virtually every car can do 150km/hr (90mph??) the only variable is how fast it gets to those speeds.
So given you can drive a 350z and a VW Jetta at high speeds, the type of car you own is irrelevant, it's all about the IQ of the driver really. So you're never too young to own any car, just too stupid to own said car.

Currently I am driving a 158hp Scion Xb (AKA the Toaster) so either car would be an incredible improvement. When we got my car the reason I couldn't get a 350Z or something of the sort was because of insurance, so I was stuck with a 4-door, non-sports, less than 200 hp car. My Dad promised me once I graduate and turn 18, next June, then I can get a new car. I am very happy with the Scion, but my fuel-broiling engine that is a heart lusts for more. My top two options are ofcourse the Nissan 370Z and the newest Chevy Camaro SS, both around $30-35k.
Chevy Camaro:
Pros:
422 hp LS3 with Tremec-6060 Transmission from Z06 and Viper.
Incredible Design and fairly nice interior
0-60 mph: 3.8 sec.
Cons:
about 3800lbs
Nissan 370Z:
Pros:
332hp with a 6Sp Manual
about 3100-3200 lbs
Incredible Handling
Cons:
Comparitively low power
more expensive
2-seater
I would like the better performing car all around, and I would like the car to be the best of the two on the Nurburgring because I'm planning to take the car there when I can afford it. Please help me out!!!

What's funny is i can guarantee i have more driving experience in extreme situations than 90% of the 25 year olds on this site with no at fault accidents ever and I'm 19. I am also probably more knowledgeable in the automotive field than 90% of the 25 year olds. Who cares how old someone is? Age does not = maturity or experience.

Driving experience is a relative thing and doesn't directly coincide with age.
