I'm coming from the other direction. Sold my C6 last summer (it was my third) in anticipation of the C7. Got itchy for a another sports car so I went with a Z this time. Although I miss the sheer power of the Vette, I don't miss it's shortcomings and I find the Z a helluva lot more fun to drive. I've had ten Vettes and three Z's and I'm not sure what my next sports car might be. Usually I'd opt for the Vette, but the next gen NSX, GT-R and Z will be in the running, along with the C7 (unless they really screw it up).

Enjoy your Vette. It's an awesome car.

Below are a couple shots of my C6's and an interesting thread on the Corvette forum that addresses this very subject. Obviously, there are insecure tools on all forums.

I too, wanted to wait for the C7 but, C6 is very capable and a good car. So far I am happy with the car and the acceleration always put a smile on my face. To me I feel that I the 370z is a bit quicker but only time would tell since I haven't really open my Corvette up yet or get used to it yet .

I took the top of my Corvette today and enjoying the wind and air of an open top. It was awesome until I stop at the gas station and it was $4.07 per gallon for a total of $56.00 to fill the Corvette up-same as the 370z.

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.
+1 well put man.

Yeah, there is just something about a Z. I'm on my seventh Z now for many reasons. However, Vettes are pretty nice for what they are.

Wow Vagas talk about tools. I've owned Vette's before, including a SC 69 vert with 4" side pipes, custom stereo and a 4speed. I love my 370Z vert but hate that I cannot track it. It is why I'm getting a ZL1 Camaro. Don't understand all the bashing. On the Camaro site they where bashing not only my Z but also the GTR. I doubt they had even ever driven them so how can you bash what you don't know about?

Some people need the bragging rights I guess. I just want to have fun with a car and there are many to choose from. No need to bash anyone else's choice.....unless you're completely insecure, I suppose.

You can't take idiots like that guy seriously. I like to mess with them, though. Obviously, he's defined by his car and probably doesn't have much a of life beyond it, so I actually feel a bit sorry for him.

Well said. If you actually bought a car based on what other people had to say about it, you'd probably never buy one. How many times has someone said something stupid to you about your car or asked you why you didn't get this or that? Too many. **** 'em.
