back on z vs vette... i'm not a vette hater, but I do have reservations... I have about 30 hours of track time in a vette and while it was good to learn on, I wouldn't want to own one... they are a dime a dozen and to me feel numb and understeer in stock configuration... the interior, while improved recently, seems early 90s vintage to me.... benefit is HPs... but the Z is good for high 300s NA with the right tweaks and with a little weight reduction it won't be too far off a stock vette in the straights... 370z all the way!

I have driven the new Maxima and it is really hard to make a comparison since they are two entirely different beasts. The Maxima is a great sporty sedan with decent pick-up and a ton of bells and whistles for the money. It is not a true sports car, but the new Max is the closest thing to the 4DSC that Nissan has billed it as since the Maxima SE that came out in 2000, which I had one. Inside you will find many of the same options, with the possibility of a few more in the Max depending on how it's equipped. The max has the backup cam, air conditioned drivers seat, Dual Zone, climate control, and the option of the all glass roof. You won't find these things in the Z. The Max is also far and away more practical.
I may be picking up a new Maxima as a second car. I found out that I am going to be a dad one week after I bought the Z, and I will need to get something a bit more practical, but I am not getting rid of the Z. With dealers taking off nearly 8K off the sticker on the new Max it may just be a great deal.

I'm sorry, but I hate hybrids and any car that is built by a company owned by the US government.
