Traded in 2006 350Z for 2010 Corvette

adalsky · 10-08-2010, 11:11 AM

I, too, am interested. I'd like to make the same switch one day.

I'll be happy to update in a month or so with my impressions.
I hope that I get used to the size of the car, as of now that is the thing that most bothers me ..I was able to throw my 350Z around like a go kart..and the Corvette feels like a boat in comparison so far. The seats in the 350 were also better in my opinion.

The 370Z has the best seats out there under 100K that aren't in a porsche, imho.

The 'vette just feels big because it is wide and you see the fenders up front. It's lighter than a 370Z and handles equally well to better in every comparison I have seen. The fenders up front in your field of view just make it feel big to you.

that is true..the fenders up front make the car feel like a cruise ship
i definitely prefer the tighter dimension of the Z

yeah, but unlike the Z, I bet they don't have the feature that when you lay your head back into the headrest, something inside the seat pokes you in the back!

I loved the feel of my C6 seats, they fit me perfectly.

I remember the first time that happened to me with my Z.

Rode in an Evo 8 when they first came out. Yeah, they were awesome when the girl was sliding it around corners, but like you said, I think they were impractical for long-term sitting. The Z's would work well enough sliding around corners, and I don't think I would feel too cramped on a road-trip. I find the Z's interior to be one of the most tasteful I have seen/set in at any price-point.

GTR has excellent seats, pretty comfy and they will hold you well in the twisties. Much better support than the 370z seats and light years beyond stock c6 seats. I think the recaros in the evo would be hell on anything more than a short drive.
