Too many names (nicks) and too many views and as an old man ( sigh... ) figures I'd screw up.

So, Vette --> Z. You must be un-American! (J/K)

I've had quite the collection of American cars (3 vettes, camaro SS, trans am ws6, 06 gto, so on and so on), just got tired of the lousy quality of everything other than the engine. The gto was the highest quality "american" car I owned, but that's because it was built in Australia, rofl.

Well, surprised by the "goat" quality. (yes, I'm old enough to remember that name).

The Vette, though, in another discussion. It has an incredible history. While I always loved the style of the car, didn't learn what the Vette was till I went to the museum (in Bowling Green, KY) this year. Sad to hear that a car with such a history has been such a letdown in quality.

Then, again, maybe that's the same reason I've been a "tuner" for many many years.

I think corvette is on the way up. The last year or two they have been offering an interior enhancement package that at least makes it look somewhat decent (not the embarrassing interior my c5 had).

Isn't that interior upgrade really expensive?

I did the same thing as you...traded in a Shelby Mustang GT for my 370Z. The Mustang was just too raw and unrefined in looks...great power...but power just isn't the sum total of a car which totally escapes comprehension by the power-heads.

I just laugh now given the piss-azz ugly design of the 2010 Mustangs. And its no secret that Ford knows they made a huge design mistake changing the rear-end design of the 2010. But that is what happens once a car's design is old and tired...there is no place to go with the design....

You never owned a real GTO then.
