550 hp is definitive in the supercar territory, in my book.

the last gen gt500 only has 500 hp... but it is VERY easy to bump that to 650+...

the problem is it is still a muscle car, not a sports car. it won't handle anything like the z. i am just afraid that the z might not have enough power to satisfy me, coming from the vehicles that i have recently had...

It won't be. I had an 04 z06, 06 regular vette, the terminator, and an 06 gto. The power difference is very noticeable. But in the end the high quality interior stole me.

I've had both a 2002 Mustang GT and a 2004 Corvette. And guess what, I'll take my Z over both of them. You're exactly right about the muscle car vs. sports car perception. Just depends which way you want to go.

yeah, that's what i am thinking also... i would rather have a car that is a blast to drive all the time and can carve up the backroads, not just blast in a straight line. plus, i really like the the 370z interior, but i have not actually been inside one yet...
