Thanks for the not necessary correction. I did say all the cars require premium except the COBALT SS. Next time please read before making a correction. Thanks.

Also, Z28 bites the dust.

Jalopnik also gave a Camaro SS a pretty bad review. It's not surprising the GM could ruin what was potentially a good thing.

I think the main difference for the comparo with the G37 is 4 seats vs. only 2 for the 370Z. So there will be some weight and length differences, as well as passenger capacity.

Ok, that might make some sense, but the two cars are still in different classes. Even though the gen coupe is 2+2 and the 370z is not, the class is the same.

For all you naysayers. Here is the Dyno graph from AMS, stock RA vs. Stock 2.0t Coupe. Coupe is blue, RA is red.

Keep in mind too guys that the gen coupe is RWD, not AWD. 206whp/247wtq for a boost controller isn't exactly impressive. Not much tuning available from the A/F ratios as it is running suprisingly lean, and you have to shut the car off and turn it back on again if you hit the boost limiter.

That is with no exhaust or tune. So to me, that is impressive. And on 87 octane!!!!
