Z06 vs. 370Z

Ive owned my 40th 370z for about a month and a half now. I can say that they car is very solid and has a nice quality feel to it. It's a very comfortable sports car. The power is plenty for the street for me. I think as you do and plan to keep the car mostly stock. I've grown out of having to have the most power possible, no car really impresses me power wise anymore and you get used to whatever you drive. I've been road racing motorcycles for a few years, so I'm used to a much quicker acceleration than most cars within a common mans reach can provide. For me, a good smooth power and, and a modest amount of torque are all that is required to have fun driving a car. The z has both. I've also debated the exhaust upgrade, but I think I will stay stock for now. It's quiet on the interstate, but it does have a decent growl when accelerating hard. Are you going to hear it while the stereo is blasting Metallica? No, but I don't think thats what I want.

For what it's worth, I've owned 2 camaro's. The last was a 98 SS (which had the same ls1 motor as the c5). After the shitty interiors rattled me to dearth, and that car started having significant problems at 65000 miles, I swore off Chevy for life. I primarily buy Japanese now, I've got a pilot, an FJ cruiser, and 3 Honda motorcycles. I get a lot more reliability out of the imports. The pilot haas 160,000 miles on it and the FJ 96,000. Both drive like new cars. The 370 is my first Nissan
