That's what I meant. I am used to some NVH. I have a 427 flailing around at 7K rpm for crying out loud. When I stab the clutch at 6K+, it's vibrating under my foot, etc. etc.

That's why I asked....noisy/harsh...compared to what?

As to tire noise...325's out back, I cannot hear myself think over the shitty goodyear's.

IC,
Since you seem pretty set on getting a 370z, what shade of gray have you decided on?

You get attention in both cars. The Corvette definitely attract a much older crowd while the Z attracts younger one, but it might partially be the Buick dark red vs the Smurf Blue too.

I don't know what's more annoying. The C4 piece of crap guys saying they have the same car as me or the 280Z guys saying their cars are close to the 370

I don't get any attention in my z06. People ignore it and I like that. I'm not going to have to put up with any bs owning the 370z, either, I hope.

yes... you will, it gets looks and attention pretty much everywhere I go.

People will want to race you all the time with the Z. Most people know better with the Z06, but everybody and their mother wants a piece of the Z! It's going to get a lot of attention.

Mine was red and got a TON of looks. People want to talk about it all the time. People want to race it all the time. People want to stare at it all the time... it's great if you like being the center of attention!

Let's be honest, no one out there doesn't like a bit of positive attention. It's nice cruising by the clubs late at night and causing everyone in line to turn and stare. The Z is super sexy, and there's not much out there that looks like it, so you're going to have to get used to the attention.

Meh. Somehow I doubt that a 370Z is going to draw that kind of attention. For being a small backwater little southern military town, there are a TON of nice cars here (5.2 R8, Gallardo, Ferrari, tons of NSX, SLS AMGs, GT3 and other flavors, Vipers, etc. etc. etc. can be seen on a daily basis). Either way, I prefer to be left alone and don't appreciate strangers approaching me.

Very true, it's a beautiful car with sexy curves. And a nice exhaust only augments the attention.

The base C6 vettes are fast and great, but the looks are too subtle for me. Z06s are sexy as ****. Can't wait to see what they do with the C7.

I love the vette, i had a SC'ed 383 stroked C3 Vette. I wanted a C6 and looked a good bit and test drove a few, but in the end there were just way to many on the road. I still think they are badazz and look when i see them on the road every day. Other than my Z there is only 6 370 in town, i see lambos more offten than 370s. The Vette will always hold a special spot in my heart as it was my first car love.
