Best modern version by far IMO. Really nice looking car.

For some reason, I just don't like the area below the taillight assembly. The "line" with empty space above it. IMO, it would look better if the taillight assembly filled that entire area. Especially if that's a fill-in piece. I also don't like the body piece in front of the sideview mirrors.

On the other hand, manual transmission is a big deal to me. That's where my praises go to. Take that, Zupr4!

I absolutely love the retro tail light design. If we get a 7th gen Camaro I would love for them to take the same approach as well.
The front end is eh to me. I feel like it's too generic. |

I agree. I like it from all the angles except the front. It is growing on me, but they should have put some kind of curves going into the box front end opening or made it smaller. I think the Supra over did it with curves and fake vents, while they didn't do enough to the Z. Still not bad though. The Supra looks better with an aftermarket front chin spoiler and bigger rear spoiler IMO. I'm sure they will come out with some stuff for the Z too. I just don't know if I want to go more the muscle/pony car way like the Challenger or Mach 1 or more the smaller sports car route like the Supra or 400Z.

I'd still rather have our raw power of the big V8.
What's it like driving an SS and then jumping into a 6? Even if it's almost as fast as the Camaro the lack of low end torque I'm sure takes getting used to. |

Depends on the turbo and setup. Some turbo cars have a surge of torque at low rpm and then run out of steam near the top, while others build most of their power near the top end. I don't know about the 400z yet, but the exhaust sounds very good on the new Supra. Granted not as good as a V8 and its a inline six with one turbo while the Z is supposed to have a V6 with twin turbos.

I agree, for the most part. Up until the 6th Gen SS, the Camaro's sucked as a driver's car IMO. The Z's, in particular, would run circles around most cars in a real world (backroad) situation. While the power may be less, some are willing to sacrifice for the enjoyment of the drive. I'm happy to say the my SS has a similar attitude. You wouldn't have caught me dead with a previous Gen.

But I just got used to it and having it out of the way is generally a nice thing IMO, but YMMV.

Yeah, it is fine once you get used to it; I really don't mind it now. It has it's pros/cons just like everything else. However if I were to build a car and there was a choice between the traditional and the electric, I would contemplate a bit.

New Z is a cool alternative I guess. But the V8 in the SS and the instant torque as already been said is something I couldn’t give up. Not to mention the glorious soundtrack. If you value that, you’d surely miss it if you want for a 6.

Yeah, I'm still not sure about the front end styling. I don't really like the headlights on the Supra either. I would like to see them both in person. I think I decided against the Supra though, but don't know if its worth waiting for more info on the Z. I'm still leaning heavily on ordering a 1320. I found a guy that can get it for 4% under invoice and then if I can use the 0% interest for 72 months. That along with a nice trade in equity from my Mustang since trade in values are extremely good at the moment and it may be a pretty reasonable payment. Just wish I had a better idea of what the next gen Challenger had in store. I've heard it could be a bit lighter with pretty much the same drivetrain or it could have an electric assist motor or it could be all electric.
