Comparison the z to a vette

Modshack

\
You can find Vettes all day long at invoice or below and $42K is certainly doable if you go light on option packages.. Check the corvette forum for participating dealers. bought my '08 for invoice at MacMulkins in New Hampshire (great dealer). they are very different cars. I don't miss the Vette!

I'v seen those deals everywhere , do me a favor since I'm in texas. go there intending to buy it and see what the real price is. I'll garantee you you cant get a new vette for 42k anywhere no matter what options. Been there done that. The only thing that was a deal breaker for me was it has to be auto everything else was neg. nobody has them.

nuTinmuch

Yes, yes you can.

Go around to smokinvette or anywhere Kerbeck is mentioned -- you will see people getting insane deals. They make money via volume. They're huge.

Sure you can and you don't even have to leave your living room. Call EVS in WI and ask for Erik the owner. It's been a while but I bet he will sell you a C6 for very close to $42K. He will even deliver it to your door for a few bucks more if you want. He makes it super easy, as easy as ordering a pizza! I ordered 2 C6s this way. Great cars and great dealer!

Don't know who evs in wi is but if you give me his number i'll calll him
Around here is 60k or hit the door , well you can go to the used lot.

Yes you can, I got mine for 39K with options on it! Those internet guys are awesome, they sometimes have Z06 for 60s

Vettes,Cameros,Mustangs,and even the Challengers are becoming a dime a dozen car,people see them every day,most people will walk right past them to see a Z parked at the end of a line with those cars in them because they don't see them everyday.

Although if the Stingray concept becomes the new C7 Vette,that will change Photo Gallery: 2010 Corvette Stingray Concept - WebRidesTV

Actually, even the C7 will get old in a relatively short period of time. All Corvette designs age pretty quickly because they're common in the US, so we see them fairly often. Doesn't mean they aren't still sleek, gorgeous sports cars. They just aren't "exotic" looking vs. their competitors.

Edit: I see your point, though. By the time that happens, 370Z's will also be more common.

Zsteve

already are. I see more and more every day.

Sure. And there will be more and more as long as they keep selling the right number each year. Eventually they'll be as common as 350Z's, especially when the used car market has its way and newer Z's get performance/styling tweaks as years go by.

As I said, though, rarity/exclusivity (or the lack thereof) doesn't change the fact that it's a beautiful, aggressive design. But I think the design of the Stang/Camaro/Vette will age faster because they sell more in general.

Stylewise, it's just miles ahead. I think both the 350Z and the 370Z are some of the only cars I see that I don't instantly want to change something about their looks other than something like a simple drop/wheels.

The C6 is a exceptional car for the price and it gets better each year. My 08 has much better steering feel and is much more confidence inspiring then my 07 was, overall the 08 is a much better car. The C6 is a excellent street and occasional track day car. I never had any issues with engine over heating or out running the brakes on track days. Lousy seats are my only real gripe with the C6. Road feel could be better also but it is hard to complain for the price of admission.

The Z seems to be high on the fun to value ratio also. I agree the C6 and 370Z are very different cars. Many cars are as fun to drive but in very different ways. Having owned both what do you like and dislike about each? How would you compare the steering feel and balance? Which would you say is more confidence inspiring? I only had a brief test drive recently in a base Z and it was good enough for me to consider one! I assume the C6 brakes are better then the non-sport pads of the Z from Car and Drivers experience? How is the over heating issue for the Z?

It would be great to hear back from someone who actually owns both.

Thanks!
