See ya in the corvette forum. Proud owner of C5 corvette:





Nothing wrong with a Vette. Ah, the radio stack cheapen the interior but, you can fix that really easy guys. Plus can you say HUD. That's pretty nice stuff there. Someday I'd like to get a C6/C7 ZR1.





The 370Z is my DD though. I plan on getting over 250K miles on my Nissan. I'd be glad to get 150K miles on my Vette. Plus, Vette doors are just too big for the big city in my opinion. That's is why my Supercharged Firebird get weekend duty too. It's fast but those darn doors. GM and big doors; what's up with that? I'll have to say the wife likes the Vette better than the Z. That is because of the magnetic ride and she was a naysayer at first. I like the competition mode

Good Luck - OP !!!! Come back and say hi every once in a while. You'll always understand and appreciate a Z I'm sure.

I was going to DD my Z and trade the Accord, but I traded the Z instead because of huge down payment that I get from it.

See you on Vette forum, I'll still be here.

I'm sorry OP, but that car is hideously ugly. I would take the Z and its fewer horses ANY DAY.

Everyone switchs out the Z for whatever it may be for example 5.0, Camaro's, Evo's, STI's, etc. But when you drive down the street and see that 370z slowly creeping by, you wanna be the one driving it lol. I remember some guy on here totaled his Z, bought an Evo and went on a rant that it has Brembos, AWD, Recaro's, Turbo, etc and it's so much fun and he loved it. A month later he made a thread in the classifieds trying to sell his Evo to get another Z or trade the Evo for a Z lol. The Z just has something unique about it, don't get me wrong I thought about those other cars but when I get back in the Z and drive I feel at home.

i couldn't agree more with these last two replies
Z's are the best affordable fast cars in my opinion, best handling as well in my opinion and you get a lot for your money. lets not mention is the fastest V6 engine... i mean I'm sure we can all keep talking about the Z on and on and on... americans don't know much about cars (my opinion). they know how to put you on a straight away and say "go" and you just go... thats why they race "Nascar" cus once you on 6th gear you keep going round and round and don't do ****. put em in Formula1 and they'll be out on the first curve lol... anyways their car are designed for a straight away and thats it and the interior is so poor. but if you happy with it thats all what matters...hope you won't open a thread trying to sell it or trade it because you regret it now.
nobody ever regret their car in the first 2 months... after those 2 months, the real is back !!! lol

I have been a Z addict for 30 some odd years. Why? The answer is simple and somewhat unexplainable -- It's a Z, that's why. BTW -- I am excluding all 2+2's and first generation 300ZX (Z32).

Seriously. I remember when people showed a lot more respect in these forums. It's one thing to share your opinion, but it's another to be a **** about it.
