I track my cars, but the corvette just never really did it for me on the track. I loved the car, and had it for almost a whole year after I got the Z, but I finally decided to sell it because there was no reason to have two non-daily drivers and 4 cars between just my wife and me. Both are awesome cars, but I feel the Z is a little more challenging on the track than the C6 and I just like it better right now.

If you are on corvetteforum, you may be familiar with me as the powdercoater known as 'corvette pilot'

If you have had your Z06 for a while, I don't think you will be disappointed with a switch. Change is good.

Hi Mike,
I'm a member of CF & am familiar with your work....your reputation there speaks for itself.

I believe you & I were the only ones there with the OZ Superlegerra's....

Thanks for the welcome Mike.

The dealership has a 370Z demo....not sure which style it is. Will there be a major difference between the base sport,touring? I know the Nismo is a tiny bit faster and somewhat stiffer.

I'm taking it to some of my favorite roads tomorrow on an extended test drive.I'm looking for the 370 to be a scalpel as opposed to the Z06's cleaver.

If all goes well,I'll pick up the new Nismo late tomorrow. It's at a sister dealership 125 miles away & they will bring it when I return with a big grin plastered on my face.

Stiffer, yes, but the NISMO is not really faster than the other models. Nothing measurable, anyways.

If you want some luxury, I'd stick get a Touring + Sport for the leather heated seats, bluetooth, etc.

Otherwise the NISMO is pretty sweet if you're into that, but it is a little bare bones on the interior.
