If it's a 98+ z28 and you're just looking for performance, it would win hands down.
With the bolt ons and free mods taken care of, your car should be a solid 12 second performer in the 1/4 mile and will run 0-60 in well under 5 seconds flat. You will probably spend a little over $2,000 total to get to this level.
Did you know that having a 500hp sports car could be as simple as a $16,000 to $18,000 used 98 Z28 along with about $5,000 total in modifications? So for about the price of a new Camaro, you could be driving a car that runs 0-60 in the mid 4 second range, 1/4 mile in the 11's, and has a top speed well in excess of 170mph!!! How does that sound?

But I'd take the S4 over it anyways. awd allows you to actually put that power down in most conditions where the z28 would need to have some super sticky tires and great road conditions. The s4 more of a real-life sports car where the z28 would be better for the track.

The z28 is a sledgehammer and the S4 is a Swiss Army knife. Do you want to be stuck with something that has a single purpose, or something that is diverse and tactile? The s4 is luxurious, quick, comfortable, beautiful, safe, and convenient to drive, whereas the z28 is loud, cheaply made, but powerful.


Edit: LOL they gave that Camaro a 5/5 on handling and control? Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight

He would get more inbred trailer-trash *** in the camaro. It's like light to flies. You're going to get real women with the S4.

screw your friend. YOU buy the S4, he let him buy his 28. Then when it comes you can just tell him in person when he meets you from the other end of the street "I told you so....."

There are S4's out there with over 1,000 horse power. But that costs some serious change to get it that powerfull.

The camaro body looks outdated, a bit like a boat with wheels. But eyy, it also has one of the lowest drag coefficients of any car... tell that to the woman your trying to impress, i bet she will get real excited

S4 its obvious
