OP, was it a C5 Z06 or C6? I find it hard to believe you liked the Nismo better if it was a C6. And a Corvette is definitely not a muscle car.

It sure is a muscle car................A great handling muscle car but a muscle car none the less.

So just because it has a powerful V8 it's a muscle car? It's a two seater sports car that is lighter than our cars, and way better handling. I don't know to many muscle cars that have Nurburgring times like the Z06 has posted. To me, a Challenger or Charger are muscle cars... But that's just me lol. Not try to thread jack, just wondering why the OP liked the Nismo more. I could see if it was a C5Z..

I agree with MJB. Z06 is a sports car.

The Vettes I have driven sure didn't feel like any of the sprots cars I have driven over the years but ok.

Did they look something like this?

Having just bought a used Z06, I can say that I'm in love, although I have a special place in my heart for my old 370z, God rest her soul.

But opinions may differ. Nothing wrong with people liking the Z more than a Vette. I happen to like the Vette better, but both are fantastic performance cars imo.

Yep its been a while. Life has been keeping me busy. But I'm trying to be more active on the forums.

2007 - C6.....

And I'll be honest, I had had my eye on a Z06 for over a year. Driving them back to back changed my mind.

I was surprised.

I dunno man, for me the nismo just feels so connected to the road. Everything feels so tight and perfected.

Gauge +1 for your sig

my wife says my Z is a better looking car then a vette......... nuff said LOL

My buddy owned a Vette and drove my Nismo, said the Nismo blew his away on the handling! It was a modded 2009 vette with over 400hp.

I am sure the higher end vettes can handle, but from what I hear the lower end ones cant.

I can verify. Imo, z06 handles as well as a 370z. The base vette is a spongy, heavy car compared to either of them.

A couple of the guys in my unit have Z06s and they are beastly as well as greatly nimble. I think it has to do with the wide stance, wheels, and weight. Also the fact they most people are either mesmerized and/or intimidated, lol.
