I've lived with the car for almost two weeks now, and I'm thoroughly impressed. It's a far better car than my 2003 350Z and it has level of quality that my C6 did not. The 350Z was underpowered (so much so that I added an APS TT), but this car is very strong. More power is always better, but with the rev-matching stick, I can't recall any car being this much fun to drive. No twin turbo system needed here.

We drove it back to back with my buddy's '06 911 C4, and even he (a typical Porsche elitist) was stunned by just how good the car is. He commented that the Z was 90% of what the Porsche is for 1/3 the price. The first time he experienced the rev-matching downshift, he had a grin from ear to ear.

I was planning on switching to a C7 in a few years after all the bugs are worked out (2nd or 3rd model year), but I will have to strongly consider the next gen Z or GT-R along with the Vette. For now, this car seems like the best bang for the buck out there.

wish they hadn't mounted a front plate bracket. You don't need one here in Nevada. Build number is 777. Perfect for las Vegas. I'm not big on personalized plates but that's too good a number to ignore. Maybe: 777OF1K

How about TRIPL 7Z for the plate (triple sevenz).

I have one as well and I love it too. Enjoy!

I have always been obsessed with flying and am getting my private pilots license right now. I went with FLYZ (hence the user name). She looks like a beauty!

I think so too.....but you know how Porsches guys are. Elitists. Here's a composite of both cars and my previous car, a C6, in the same location. I think the Porsche is number three. Vette still looks great.

The Z has the better lines.

It's certainly the most modern...the Porsche looked very dated with the short wheelbase.
