'08 6 speed that I tuned to about 470 HP and re-did the suspension....For a light car it's got a very heavy feel to it. Ponderous is the word with the turning radius of the Queen Mary. Lot of fun for the 1.5 years I had it, but not nearly as satisfying as the Z to drive (for me anyway)

Had an 06 vette. Obviously, it didn't meet my full expectations.

Me too! I still have the vette though, because I do love it, just not as much as I loved my 350z during track days. Oh yeah, I also am keeping the Vette because my powdercoating business is centered on Corvette brake calipers, and it does very well, partly because I am a fellow owner and not just a regular forum sponsor.

I've had 4 240Zs, a 300TT, and a preorder 350. When I saw the 370 in person for the first time at Zdayz this year, I knew I had to have one, and I actually bought it the day after I got back home from that trip.
