Nissan 370Z Forum  

Anyone go from a Corvette to a 370??

I had an '06 C6 Z06. Impressive performance, but just too fast for normal roads...can't really enjoy it. Run it up through second gear and you're going nearly 90 mph.

Plus, Corvettes in general don't have a lot of road feel, especially at low speeds. Puttering around in them is a bit boring. But, if you have the right area to run them, they do perform.

Completely. Vettes need room to run. Around town it's like driving the Queen Mary. I've always gotten more pleasure out of driving a lesser HP car at 8/10ths than a big HP car at 3/10ths....
