Trade the Z for 2010 Corvette base?

I am telling you. On this forum you occasionally read about people dying from mainly car accidents, on the Corvette forum it is mainly old age. The track page is where you get good info, but then those guys are really hardcore.

I do see some OLD dudes driving 'vettes. I'll be the same way if I make to those years.

Outside of the track guys, a lot of people buy Corvettes because they dreamed of one as a child. If you think the Z guys are protective about their cars, you should read some of the Corvette guys. I can get entertainment reading posts outside of the tech section here, on the Corvette forum it's mainly guys stroking each other/bragging how much money they make/politics (I am sure you can figure out which way they lean).

I've visited the Corvette forums before, a lot of their cars get the garage queen treatment. One guy was upset that he put 30 miles on his car...

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.

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.

Does it really matter? Thats like the same people who argues the z runs a maxima motor. they got what they want out of it, it works and it performs well.

Its also the same people that say the LSX motor is just an antiquated pushrod V8.

i just say this because my car isn't as fast as a Z06....

ok there i said it!!!!

I still maintain about the interior tho....

I love them both. Had a Z06 bodied C6 and the 370. On the track, I am much more comfortable and confident in the 370, and therefore faster, even with the horsepower deficit. On the street, the corvette was definitely much more of a head turner (than before I went black and orange on the 370, now everyone stares at me when I do drive it in public)

MightyBobo · 03-10-2012, 06:24 PM

Much like a Viper, the Z06 is a fantastic machine that takes a large amount of skill to handle well. Hence why I'd be more than happy with an LS3-powered C6...

Not only skill, but a track. It's pointless on the street, and why I now own a 379.

I can see where this thread is headed.
