yeah, MSRP is higher, but they are always selling new ones as low as 39-42 on the corvette forum. My Z stickered at 34, My C6 at 49. I didn't pay that much for either of them, although I did pay 15k more for the vette than the Z

Dear ShadowQuad: Try WALKING 2 miles in 114F-degree weather, and f-e-e-l the difference 2 miles can make, bro'! My main point is reliability, though. Now I MUST admit GM is--it appears--really trying to improve their vehicles, and go the old way of quality, vs mass-production. I hope our Nation gets back on her feet soon, including Ford, Chrysler and GM reliability in cars.

:icon18: Have done, sir. Look, if that 2mpg difference makes the difference for you of abysmal vs. acceptable, then ok. I concede, that's your opinion. You've got every right to feel that way if considering the two cars for purchase.

My opinion is that in a 400+hp sports car, 21mpg isn't the worst I've ever seen, and I could probably live with it. My daily driver gets just over 200 peak hp and gets similar mileage, so in my mind, I could live with it.

That's why they make vanilla and chocolate ice cream, I suppose. Cause I'm right and you're wrong. :rofl2: jk, to each their own, bro.

Ask Kannibul! :roflpuke2:

Who? :bowrofl::roflpuke2::bowrofl:

One of my friends has a vette (2009). We trade off driving to lunch a couple of times a week. You can definately feel the difference in power between the vette and my 370Z, but the vette rides really rough, and the seats are not comfortable at all. My buddy actually says that he likes my Z car better, and says that he wishes that he owned one now that the new has wore off his vette. The most important point he has made...the vettes are all over the place...a dime a dozen. He does not see many 370Z's running the roads in Houston. He likes the Z's body style much better than the vette. Pretty good stuff coming from a vette owner!

A couple days ago a woman and her husband pulled in next to me as I was about to leave a parking lot and she immediately asked how I like my car. After I told her how happy I am with it, she said she almost bought one but decided to get a 2008 Corvette instead. I asked her how she liked that and she said, "it's fun, but high maintenance" and went on to tell me it had some electrical problems. She didn't say it, but her tone of voice indicated she thought she made the wrong choice. I left there a bit puzzled about the fact that a 2008 car has electrical problems.

The Z is much prettier than the Vette.

This thread can now be closed.

A bit on the side, guys: The forum was created to vent our opinions regarding our likes/dislikes concerning vehicles. When I post something--anything--it's not to stir up things; just to express my feel about a given subject. So, as far as I'm concerned, if Vette owners are glad with their choice, GREAT! If Z owners are glad with theirs, GREAT! We're all happy campers! Whatever ride you own, be a happy camper! No problemo!

:tup: It's cool, I like these discussions, too! I hope I wasn't too snarky, because I liked our back 'n' forth.

I will agreed with that. There is people in this forum that thinks they know everything and their opinion is the only one that counts.

Plus a lot of people are here only to stir things up and insult other people to glorify themselves. :shakes head:

I am no longer lusting for a vette - or any other car, now that I own the Z - satisfied customer. I do love the quality of the Z interior, and the refinement of the steering and handling. These are the most important things for me. I miss the torque and connection to the engine that I had in my Camaro SS - in the Z the engine feels too disconnected from the driver, and like others have posted - the clutch in the Z is aweful, no feel whatsoever and it's not smooth. The Z is absolutely devastating on twisty canyon and mountain roads, due to the steering and refinement of the chassis - I doubt there is any car at any price that could do much better.

I wouldnt bet on that if I were you. At any price the Z will get killed by high end cars meant for sports driving.

My buddy that has a Z06 just told me he is selling it for a Z.....

+2 I totally agree with you there. Mad insecure people on here. The insults on here are truly getting boring.
