no transmission problems or any problems at all. im still debating it but i might just stick with the vette for a little longer to see what else comes out.

I've seen a lot of Z06's and thought they were cool, but I just saw my first ZR1 up close and I got sprung. In other words, if you have a ZR1, you won't need any viagra.

New member seriously contemplating making the switch from a C6 Z06 to a
370Z Nismo.....anyone else here do anything similar?

I've been using Corvettes as my DD for over ten years & just ready for a change.

Any and all experiences or opinions are welcome.

Edit: of course I meant "to a" in the thread title.....

I think if you do you should by a Nismo, preferrably a black one...like mine that im selling :D:D:D

you wont need viagra but the wife wont get the pleasure from it as you will shoot your load while driving the car and she wont get it.

I often withhold my sexual favors from her when she pisses me off. :mad: Unfortunately, she's never noticed. :(

If you had a ZR1, you wouldn't need a wife.

Car>Girl.

One has resale, one just costs, both can be fun or lame, but unlike with women, you know what you are getting when you get a car.

Hence why when someone says "My wife..." Screw that. Except in the case of that one guy with no self control where his wife asked him to wait 1 month just to be sure a Z was what he wanted.

plus isn't it a dodge.........just saying

The ZR1 beat the viper in 3 of 4 areas on supercars including the fastest in a mile.

The Viper is a race-car with a license plate. The 'vette will never be that "raw". However, call me whatever you want, I don't want a car that raw for the street. I would find a tree.

Most people already did in the Z, go see your insurance rates

Zr1/Z06 are a hand-full for sure, but they at least have SOME nannys. Hence why I am more interested in a Z06 than a lightly used Viper. I fear I would get away from myself in the Viper.

I was quoted $175mo on a new Z06 FWIW. Not bad, really, single male, calculated for when I turn 25 in a few months.

I parked behind a vette today. It was in a bad part of town. I figured if someone was going to mess with a car they would pick the vette over my Z.

Mythic 10-30-2010 10:12 AM

Vipers are the sh*t! Damn a ZR1, it's awesome too, but for the money a viper will spank that a**...a local friend had a supercharged vette but his baby is his TT viper....the most wicked ride I'll ever know. A TT viper will spank a Bugatti to 200 mph by a few seconds.

But hey I could be bias, I had an 06 SRT-10 Ram that would beast 11's with nothin but spray...

Viper is "higher performance", but it's also harder to live with. Stock/stock.

No cruise control.
A/C has trouble over-powering the heat of the exhaust on all but the newest models.
No electronic traction control/etc. if you get caught in a rain-storm on that road-trip.

Etc. etc. etc.

It's a better track car, but that's it.
