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.

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.

I guess that isn't part of the Z community as I waved at a fellow Z and they didn't wave back

Yeah, what up with that.... It used to be in the early days. I still wave at 350Z and 370Z. I get a wave back about 50% of the time now.

Enjoy the ride ...

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I have always hated chevy interiors they just always seem outdated and old looking, even on brand new cars. Its been the same forever too, I would never buy one for just that reason!

I had the same experience. Tested a Camaro, interior was falling apart.

That said, people have different priorities when purchasing cars. For some people, Interior isn't that big a deal.

I have owned a C6 Corvette and gone through 2 350z's,I still would choose Z over the C6,the vette was great but just felt like a spaceship in the city,Z felt more in touch with the road,great car none the less..Im on the Corvette forum as Manny350Z as well...take care

I like to get a 350z if I can find one cheap enough, 2003 or so for a DD. Probably more fun than the Accord Coupe EX-L that I have now.

I purchased my 06 c6 convertible off the showroom floor. Thought I'd have it for a very long time and added some extras to get it to 440 hp. Ended up trading that in on a 2010 mx5-gt and also added more hp. Traded that in on a 2011 ford f350 6.7 diesel loaded. At the end of the day, traded the truck for a 2012 370z coupe with sport package. Now I can't wait to receive my FI TDX CBE system in June.
All those prior vehicles were great and served their purpose with no regrets, but with that said, I have to admit this car is just a great experience every day I drive it.
Best if luck....you'll enjoy the vette.
