I wouldn't buy a 2005+ GM because the build quality is less then lacking. It's just not there at all. I'm shocked most of the cars make it off the lot.

I know that's a bit of an exaggeration, but I've owned so many GMs that I think I'm an authority on their build quality. If you don't mind your car being in the shop more than you drive it, get a Vette.

Purely subjective sir lol! I understand what you are saying about the quality though. I mainly like domestics because of the RWD V8 platform, thats about it! I test drove a 07 LS2 Vette & noticed the interior was not up to par. Thats the only bad thing I could say. To be honest, im a little scared of the C6 but this is a good thing. That was the fastest car ive driven. A 3200 pound monster lol. On the other hand, the Z could be my 1st import. Its just a beautiful car & performs. Im gonna take my time & be all over the forums. Just tryin to think this through.

Close to 40k for a fully loaded 370Z vs around the same for a C6 used. Hmmmm for about 10k more a used C6 Z06 can be had

actually, if you head over to corvette forums and go into their inventory section, they are listing 09 C6 'vettes starting from 40K. I was VERY surprised to see a red c6 Z51 package for around 41K brand new. I was like

... but, base to base, there is atleast 10K difference. So, go test drive both, and buy the one that gives you best performance vs $$ money. Always buy what YOU think is best for you.

Wow....brand new c6 WITH the z51 package for 41k. That means 07-08 loaded may be had for less than 40k or there about...Gotta love this economys effect on some of the cars we want unfortunately alot of us are feeling the effects of said economy so we cant take advantage of the cheaper prices. Its a cruel joke lol....tough decision for the op...Cant go wrong with either car imho but the C6 is deffinately the performance champ between the two by a good margin.
