Camaro vs. G37?

[DrJones]

its flattering..... that eveyone wants to compare their car to the G37.....

[WhosUrBuddiee]

My roommate has a 2SS. It blows me away.

Personally power and exterior styling, I think the Camaro wins hands down. For features and interior styling, the G37 wins.
Plus the camaro turns soooooooo many more heads.

You have to compare the G37 with the SS not the v6, because of the price of each... and the chevy takes the power aspect hands down...

and they put a decent looking interior with more then 400hp in a very reasonably priced package, I can see how people think it is better then the G

I mean if looks truly didn't matter and you just wanted a straight line car go spend 8 grand modding an integra and run circles around the SS on the drag strip

all that said, I would still take the infiniti w/o a second thought in my mind, the lack of power can be fixed with a few years of saving up your lunch money to put twins under the hood

I can say exterior is nice,interior is crap.my neighbor has an ss model.I would rather have the g for so many reasons more than the camaro.reliabilty looks.resale.(so see how much its worth In a year or two). Like the last person mentioned tt the g and its game over. V8s are not untouchable anymore like years ago,nothing could keep up with alot of the v8s for late 60s early 70s.

Again you have to go stock to stock or modded to modded. Yes you can put a TT on a G, but if you spend same money on a 2SS Camaro, you will still be blown away.

Awhile ago motortrend took a 2007 Z06 and did cams, intake, ecu, headers, exhaust (about 5k in parts). The car put down 650 rwhp NA with gobbs of torque that would destroy a TT G. I have seen 800 hp NA Z06s before as well with some crazy mods. Put a TT on a Z06, you are looking at 1000+ hp easy.

So no, TT the G and it is not game over. In the end there is no subsititue for displacement. But the camaro will still have ugly interior.

that is true, dollar for dollar you will never beat it, what we really need is a g50 to start from

Interior styling on the Camaro = yuck. Have you seen them? It KILLS the car IMO. Why drive a car that everyone else enjoys the way it looks while you have to stare at this:

No thanks. It's the whole GM one-interior-for-all syndrome

I dunno if that pic does the interior justice - here's another shot of the whole interior. still like the G's better but it aint that bad in this pic.

Ok I see where you are going with this.number 1 a 2007 z06 has like 505 hp to start with not to mention curb weight of just over 3k.bad example look at some of the old supras puttin down over 1000whp.so there is always someone faster.speaking of z06 vetts.one by my house with a supercharger,lets just say he smakes down very expensive cars that cost 3x as much.if speed is only objective by a gtr and modd it to death.see how many camaros can keep up.remember this is nor a nascar.I have seen some pos looking cars tear up some high end cars.

I listed rwhp not crank hp. My example was very good, yours however was not. I was showing how spending maybe 5k you can easily get 200 whp gain on a Z06. To gain 1000hp on a supra, you have to be spending 40-50k.

Try spending 5k on a G37, you will be lucky to get a 30 whp gain.

My example was purely to show, not matter what you do to a G37, it will never be able to match a SS, SRT8, Z06 ect mod for mod. (Someone said TT a G and it is game over, when in reality it is the exact opposite)

What do you mean this is a better representation? Looks like a reject from an episode of Buck Rogers. I have not seen that much plastic since since that last time I watched a Jetson's episode. Sorry to go old TV, but comparing the G to the Camaro is like comparing Buck Rogers to The Sarah Connor Terminator Show. Yeah it's SciFi, but boy do you like the graphics over your imagination. In the G you don't have to imagine a nice interior, it's all around you. That's what sells a car IMO. Plus quality. Like someone said earlier, next year they will be trading it in for the Cash for CLunkers program since $3,500 will be twice book value.

The new picture doesn't really look much better. It still looks like garbage to me. But to each his own. Lots of people must like it because a friend of a friend ordered one in June and they're telling him it'll arrive in early November... wtf, *THAT* many people want this garbage?!? Are they giving away free hookers or something with a Camaro purchase? Or do all these fools really believe a car will help them pick up chicks?

[WhosUrBuddiee]

The interior is crap, but that is what keeps the cost down. If it had the exterior styling, big hp, and nice interior....the price would be around 50-60k. It would be more on CTS-V level. (I love that car btw)

A tt g37 putting down 644whp not good enough for you. Maybe you can buy a gtr & mod it 5k-10k in upgrades. then see how well every other car get ripped up & spit out.

Name one person besides maybe in hollywood on a movie car, who spends 40-50 k on mods period.
even on a supra you dont need no 40-50k to get those numbers.

Most of the ones by me that have at least that hp level are no where near that amount of money.

give me 50k for mods & ILL SPEND NOT EVEN HALF OF THAT & DESTROY ANY SS/SRT8/WANNA BE ZR1(ONLY DOMESTIC I HAVE RESPECT FOR) LIKE EVERY OTHER PRODUCT MADE IN DETROIT OUT WILL GET WHIPPED LIKE A BIOATCH.

have you ever heard of AMG package? do know how much diff. the car is with & without that package.

You can build about anything all it requires is cash.

I saw a tt challenger putting down 950 to the wheels, 8k upgrade.

Personally I have spent just under 3 k on exhaust cobb intake & for a tune.

I am pushing 325whp. so thats like what 380-390 to the crank.

so 60 hp GAIN for under 3k,So keep talking about how much fater a z06 is.

Know A guy by me with a mustang putting down 700whp, not to many cars can keep up with him, including a bentley GT (got abused by the mustang)until he hits a turn or a curve.

If he dont back off he's into the weeds.

A Z06 better outrun a g, or GM should just drop dead from stupidty.

I mean the vette is out what only 40 years.

[Xcalibur]

Pound for Pound, Dollar for Dollar = American Horsepower is cheap and plentiful in those v8s.

That Camaro SS has room for Mods and there will be tons like there is for the Ford Mustang.

If I really wanted something really fast I would of not bought the G.
