I am honestly considering down-sizing and buying a 370Z in a year or two and a house. The Z06 is fun, but the reality is that WHATEVER you drive, it will feel slow to you after a while, and I love the look/interior of the 370Z's. I'm just holding out to see if the C7 can't inspire me or Nissan add another 50-75bhp to the Z.\

Would like to buy the first or second year of a "new" Z, because Nissan doesn't fix problems, and they don't make improvements, so if you buy the first production year--for better or worse--you have about the same car as the last production year.

Ford and GM constantly make improvements and leave you feeling like *DAMMIT! SHOULD HAVE BOUGHT NEXT YEARS!*
Good point about sport pkg.

As for getting a Z later on, obviously I'm biased and I like the car a lot, but you may miss a lot of that low-end grunt that makes the Chevy so special. But you can always cross that bridge when you come to it, and you strike me as a guy who'll do all your homework before pulling the trigger.

I drove a 370Z and to me, it felt identical to my 2001 WS6. Yeah, it's not going to get up and go like my Z06, but the gearing and tq curve really negated the lack of displacement when compared to an LS1/LS2.
EDIT TO ADD:
Looking at C&D's test data, the 1998 Z28 had a 5-60 of 5.6 seconds. The 370Z did the same in 5.5 seconds in one test, and 5.8 in another (I think the first test was when it was new, as I belive it was the same car tested, that they used for their long-term eval).

Like I said, they felt the same to me.
