Great handling. Good HP-to-weight ratio. Decent price. Just happens to look good, too.

After checking one out in vegas, it is easier to appreciate the car vs. just seeing pics on the webz.

Need to get the long tail version. Top speed 304 mph. Said there was more in it. But was afraid he wouldn't slow down in enough to make the turn coming up.

You need to shake that tree a little harder in the backyard.

I feel like if you are looking for power, a V8 would suit you more.

This car looks great and handles better.

For me the Z looks great right out of the box. I've spent a decent amount of cash on upgrades to the engine and exhaust, but I haven't even considered spending a dime on the looks because it already looks great to me.

For my needs the stock Z strikes a good balance of form and function, however, to answer the question, I’ll take looks over power; it comes with enough from the factory.
