Corvette ZR1, GTR...

Both very fast, both very cool.

I'd trade the Z even up for either one happily.

I went the other way, except I had a Z06. Loving my 370Z.

Glad to see that :)

I know you were very selective before purchase.

Truth hurts, come back and tell us after you have owned one and can make an unbias assessment

Yeah, a guy at work never drives his, seems to think it will be worth something if he doesn't put any miles on it. LOL This seems to be a common feeling among some vette owners. I know of three that seem to feel this way.

When I did a time trial a few years back, they hosted a car show along side. Most of the guys thought it was cooler to be dusting it rather than driving it.

Maybe they do have a point because their purse money was highet than our pot

He doesn't even have to own it. He can rent one and take both cars to the track. The Z is a great car. But some people are just unrealistic about the Z potential. The Z would need turbos to run with any of those cars on a track and if you are only stage 1? Its a drivers race. You need at least stage 2 to solidify the win. Until those cars mod too... at the end of the day. Its about how much money you have to make yourself a winner.

:icon17::tup:

agree up to a point, but most would agrew pushrod engine and suspension design have nothing to do with it. Its as dumb as the Corvette guys who think all import sucks and vice versa

^^^

Its just bias on both sides. All imports are dumb. All leaf springs suck. All V8's with push rods is crappy technology.

The one I hate the most? Horsepower per liter. Especially when Civics are talking about it with 1.6L motors...

Did someone say HP per liter? S2000 baby! VTAAAAAAAAAAAK!!!!

Did you poll Corvette Forum yet? The responses should be interesting...

How about the whole lightweight thing, just as annoying. the rx8 guys are the same way, of course they shut up real fast when the Corvette beat it by 10 sec a lap. Aftet he lost, he kept going on and on about the 1.3 liter

I got pay-off for my Z06 1 year after buying it and I only paid TT&L. I kept the miles at the recommended (by the local club) to <4K/year. Maybe something to it?

Now granted, I did pay MSRP for my 370Z, but it was so rare I would have, anyway, as they sell before they even hit the shore it seems.

Don't you just love the Internet... :nutswinger:

Hey, at least I had both cars and have some real world data. :ughdance: Let me know how bad the leaf springs or OHV engines are working when you get one.

I dont get all the import/domestic hating. You get the same BS on the Corvette forums too (some are borderline racists) . is there no such thing as respectfully disagree on something?

Unless there is a "Car Guy" forum, it's not possible. Fanboys are fanboys.

True, just look at the Nascar comments and see how guys are arguing over ford and Chevy and toyota

That's different though. That's more like sporting rivalry. Ferrari vs. McLaren. Ford vs. Chevy.

It's not like "ZOMG my car is SOOO much better than EVERY OTHER COMPETING CAR fanboyyyyy."

Fair enough, but the over obseasive brand loyalty is a little creepy

:iagree:

All import owners are commie pinkos, and all domestic owners are racist hillnecks.
