Trade the Z for 2010 Corvette base?

CC_370z

Tooling around town on the weekend and ultimately hitting the track and some dragging.

Anyway, after taking a look at the corvette today and a test drive on '08 base. I don't think that I am missing much at all. Maybe it was an '08 and a base used vette. My OP link will have to be transfer with a fee of $550.

After doing some research and visiting some forums, I decided to wait and see how 2014 C7 will look as well as performance. As for the time being, I love my Z and will keep an eye on a used vette... not to mention saving money. However, anything is possible

I say go for it. My girlfriend when we first started dating had a 06 C6 3LT package Vette. Yes my Z had better interior if you were to stare at it and think about it. But I tell you, the 2.5 years that I drove it I was too busy enjoying the cars performance to ever be worried about the interior. I mean it's not like it lacks amenities, it's just cheaper used materials. Then again, I'm not a huge snob about interiors either and really don't car too much as long as it's decent. I mean people bitch about the interior of the Camaro too but my girlfriends 2010 Camaro 2ss doesn't leave me desiring something more. And again, driving the car I'm enjoying the cars performance far too much to be worried about the hard plastic dash.

To each their own. If interior matters that much to you then the Vette is a bad choice; but otherwise I say get it. I really enjoyed the Vette while she had it. So much so I almost got one myself last year. Now I keep considering a grand sport but right now I'm still really enjoying my Z so I keep holding off.

I too plan to wait until the C7 to make the jump but one thing to consider is that the first 1-2 years are probably going to be cars you don't want to own. Statistically first year cars have kinks that need to be worked out. The C6 Vette is a good example of this with regards to the targa top issues and rear diff issues. So keeping that in mind you'll be waiting another 4 years or so before getting your Vette. Or you could jump on this used one and enjoy it for a bit until the C7 has proved it's self. Just a thought.

The only thing you are giving up is acceleration and repeated braking performance, there. Handling felt almost identical to me, although at high speed the corvette's longer wheel-base makes sweeping corners easier, while the 370Z makes better work of lower speed tight corners. JME.
