I know the future of GM is in doubt however, the engine and tranny of the Vettes are sound and there will always be someone to work on the Vette. Again, I like the drive of the 370 but can't take the chance of a short lived engine or of my constant concern of what might happen. Will monitor the situation for a short while but if this is not resolved soon, I will not purchase the 370Z. For me, it is not about the money with this car or that but what is the most fun to drive.

I'm in a similar situation. The 370z is the car that I really want but this oil temp issue really has me holding back. I live in Vegas where driving in traffic when it's 115+ outside can be a reality. Even worse if I get caught in traffic going back to California while going through Baker where it can hit over 120+. It really sucks that this is becoming such a big issue. Sadly there aren't many other choices of cars to choose from. We already have an 06 Vette so I'm not sure getting a 2nd Vette is what I want. I kind of like the STI but I'm not 100% sold on the whole hatch thing, especially with only 305hp. Hopefully Nissan settles this issue soon so I can get a 370z. If not I guess I'll stick with my old Z's. I mean hell, my 77 280z may not be as fast but it won't over heat the engine either.
