However, a Camaro will probably beat a 300zx tt in a straight line. I hate Camaros just as much as the nissan junkie, but straight from the factory, a Camaro will haul ass on the quarter. However, neither the Camaro nor the Mustang has the potentially upgradeable power of the 300zx. Winterz is right that you'll be buying more replacement parts, because lets face it, a '92 american car will give you its share of problems, while the 300zx is a very sturdily built ride. Even though the Camaro is beefier, on any real race it would get murdered by the 300, Camaros turn like RVs, except they're uglier . The 300 is the clear better choice, much more fun to drive, will last you longer, and you can do more stuff with it.

(and even though looks are in the eye of the beholder...300zx has twenty times the bling bling of the other two)

Yeah... that's BS. If we were talking 93+camaro then it might have a fighting chance in a straight line but 92 and below were slowww. The most the z-28 ever made was a 350 w/ ~230hp. And they only offered that w/ an automatic. I think the fastest 3rd gen camaro was the 305ci, 215hp w/ the stick. If I remember my F-bodies correctly. As far as the mustang goes. Again, not likely. 225 hp, best quarter time was the notch back at 14.7. Where the GT's would run ~15.2. LX 5.0 somewhere in the middle. Mustangs didn't make sereious power until 96 w/ DOHC cobra, 305hp.

BTW- Check out my car history link in my sig... look at my old 3rd gen Camaro and Fox body mustang
