Must read now 370 vs Camaro.. !!

I was dead set on getting a C6 vette until I test drove the 370z. I like the looks and cabin much better. Yeah, the extra 100hp would've been nice

It was a TOUGH decision for me to choose the 370Z over a 'Vette. The 370 is a better car in terms of fit and finish... just feels better on the inside... but the 'Vette just blows it away in power. I still have second thoughts everytime I see a nice C6.

In the end it comes down to, can you accept the lack of power the 370 has over the Corvettes downsides.

But if you purely want a race car, a used C6 Z51 is really the way to go, it beats the 370 on handling, braking, power...its rough :-/

No second thoughts here. For me, the Z just fit better. It fills a unique niche without any close cousins. Now if a new Supra or RX-7 were in production well that'd be a different story.
