Said goodbye to my boosted Z at the being of August, dumbest thing I have done thus far in my life...however if I save my dough for another 6 to 8 months I can put hefty down payment on c7...the Z is still one of the most well rounded modern sports cars IMO, my car always turned heads.

Maybe in 6-8 months the halt on sales of C7s will be lifted. :tup: |
The Z has its fair share of issues just like any other car. :)
|
the c7 is a great car but I would wait till 2016 model to get out the kinks..car & driver did a long term test and blew the engine at only 6,000 miles and the are blaming the oil filter lol
|
Not to mention they are gonna make the next corvette mid-engine which will knock the price of the c7 down considerably !

Get a used wrx sti. And please keep the nismo. There is a guy on this forum selling a really nice Subaru legacy for a good price and the thing is really clean. Maybe cooltoy will read this and post the link for you. He's the matchmaker on this forum! And he's damn good at it.

Just repeating what I saw on hot rod magazine and motor trend .Attachment 94213
Still a long shot though ! Lol |
I work for an auto manufacturer(not chevy or nissan) and they did not just spend all the R&D money to make the C7 for 3 or 4 years and R&D another new sports car...wont hapeen anytime soon anyway ;) Cant bash GM when Nissan had how many oil burners in 09-10? THeir failure rate it still lower at this point(from what I can see on their forums, they have had 3 forums members plus the 3 CD cars, but I trust mags as fr as I can throw, there are also many high HP c7s running around, my guess is they were not broke in properly)
I want another sports car, and have been shopping the 50-60k range, I hate german cars, I cant stand mustangs, No 4 doors, the list got real short without not getting something new...only hesitation on the Z is what Nissan come out with next, but at this point I will speculate it will be a 2017 model...I cant wait that long.. |
I feel ya OP. I'm in my mid thirties, and have always been a Z car fan. I bought my first Z, a Z33, in '04 and sold it in '07; bought another Z33 in '08; a JDM Z32 in '10; and a Z34 in '13. I sold the Z32 early this year but still have the Z33 and Z34. I really am considering selling both cars for an '09 Porsche 911 Carrera S.

I'm thinking my next ride will be a C6 GS convertible. I like the C7 to but too many hobbies curtail spending at that level on a car. GL with your decision on that. See you on Corvette Forum? OP- any decisions yet? |
Wow this thread caught more fire than I anticipated. I knew I'd get burned by a few for even thinking about a Ford but I am surprised at all those supporting either decision. I've been driving the Z more often lately and am appreciating every reason why I bought it. I do kinda regret test driving the 5.0 because I'm still a bit ambivalent on whether or not I want something new. I'll keep y'all posted if/when I come to a final decision, but thanks again for all the feedback.
