Traded my 2019 Z

latch

Really appreciate your feedback guys that helps a lot. I’ve been struggling with trying to decide whether or not to upgrade the Z to a +15+ Nismo or if I should be looking past that and spending a bit more for a C7. Ive never really cared for big power, I prefer nimbleness, lightness and handing that’s in a small package.

My biggest thing is I want to feel comfortable pushing it on the street without creating danger for myself/others. I don’t want to risk losing that with a C7 because I know Vettes historically could be a little unforgiving. My dream car would be a GT4 or Evora 400+, but those are WAY out of budget for now. I’ve even considered an 86 and boosting it but honestly that probably isn’t worth the headache.

With the C7 you can definitely hoon around in it without losing it if you are half way competent with a sports car. Like Spooler said, the nannies are not intrusive and not abrupt. They let you play with the car and if need be mildly step in to keep you from wrecking. But it won't fix stupid. I never liked the traction control on the 370z. Felt way too intrusive and abrupt, not intuitive. The C7 is very fluid in a sense that you can play without being penalized. Over step it too much and the car will let you know. The C7 is light years ahead of the NISMO and being you already have a 370z I don't think the NISMO is worth trading up to. Also the NISMO was way more jaring of a ride than the C7 is.

As for space, I do feel the Vette, despite being wider, does have less hip room compared to the Z. But I disagree with sitting position as I feel I'm sitting down in it, not on top. But I also have my seat positioned that way. There is some variability with going up or down on the seat. Long trips aren't a problem comfort wise for me but nor where they with the Z. I never use cruise control on any car so I can't really say anything about that. Don't find the pedal overly stiff. I'm 5'8, medium athletic build.

If anything, go test drive one. You'll only know once you're behind the wheel.
