So how is everyone pleased with their Z performance wise?

Naw, the corvette didn't feel like a quality car. Everything just felt like cheap plastic junk. When I had a c5 (z06), I was actually embarrassed to have people ride in the car because the interior was so cheap.

So I guess it just depends on what you're looking for. There are those of us who want little more than an engine with a seat and a steering wheel to haul *** ... and there are those of us who want a bit of comfort and convenience. Nothing wrong with either viewpoint, I just wish I had the brains to know what I was looking for in a car before I went through 19 in the last 10 years

Hrmmm, you must have had an early C6? The ones I have looked at, while not as nice as the Z, certainly don't look/feel that bad. Certainly better than the 350's were.

Mag350Z

Having traded in my 2006 350Z for a 2010 base Corvette about two weeks ago,
I can tell you that acceleration wise the Vette absolutely crushes the 350, and I imagine the same holds true for the 370. The car has 436 HP with 430 Lb/Ft and weighs less than the 370.
Handling wise, the Vette has more grip and higher limits, but to me the 350 was much more tossable and confidence inspiring to drive. Also the 350Z has much better steering.
For the two cars that I owned, the Z had better overall fit and finish. There are a few exterior and interior trim pieces on my Vette that do not fit as they should. Also I drove 100,000 miles with the Z without ever visiting the dealer except for routine maintenance. I can only hope that the Vette holds up so well.
Either way, both cars are excellent values. A base Corvette is not much more than a fully loaded Z. As mentioned, it really depends on what you are looking for.
I went from a 1987 300ZX to a 1997 Z28 and now 350 to Corvette. I think overall the Zs provide a better driving experience. I wouldn't be surprised if my next car will be whatever Z is available in 4 or 5 years. I was very close to getting the 370 but wanted to own a Corvette at least once in my life.

I don't think you get a true feeling for quality just peering at a car, or driving it once or twice, fwiw.
And I'm not even gonna bother throwing 350s in the comparison, as I think everyone here knows about their interior quality.

Yet a lot of people who own 350's refuse to upgrade because "the performance isn't worth it" when compared to the 370. So which is it? performance, or desire to own a luxury interior?

The Z is nothing if you don't compare it to something, so how can you say it's fast, etc without "caring about any other cars?"

Just wondering. Very closed.
At what speed did you feel the Z wobbled? I took one up to about 110-120 or so and it felt fine. Where does it begin to get scary?
