I listen to The Smoking Tire Matt Farah's podcast and he said that video doesn't at all represent what that car is capable of. He recently did another video driving through the canyons of California praising how it goes around corners. Matt Farah is also the one that said the Hellcat pulled the same numbers as the Alpha 4C in the figure 8.

If I were to ever get a Vette, It would have to be something a little rare... Z06, or even ZR1. The C7 Z06 is only supposed to be around 78K. Way out of my price range but maybe in a few years.

Not really. What he described will get you around 12.7 second quarters in a Z if tuned properly and on the right tires.

A well F.I.'d Z will run the low 11.

agreed. my best is 12.89 on street tires with intake/exhaust and a tune. with DR's maybe a 12.5-12.7

plus a nice drive mod with me in the drivers seat

Why would you buy a red one?

Actually that was the only one available. But i would prefer a white one.

Vette all day, the new one is amazing. I've driven a bunch, sold a bunch, and have one of the first Z06's on order for a customer of mine. ******* epic.

Drakonis GTR · 09-27-2014, 05:23 PM

I honestly find questions like this to be absolutely pointless. You bought a Z, which is great, welcome to the club. But now you are having second thoughts about it because you remembered that you had a crush on Corvettes. Honestly, why did you buy the Z in the first place if the love of your life is a 'Vette? You could have just saved the money you will inevitably lose on the trade-in and bought the 'Vette first. I think it's readily apparent that you have your heart set on the Vette, so go buy it. Nobody here is really going to be able to persuade you otherwise, and if they somehow managed to do so, you will spend the rest of your time wondering about it and driving yourself crazy. NOT WORTH IT!

And asking a web forum that is already biased towards the Z whether or not you should do said trade to me seems like a waste of time. This group is more objective than most, I will grant you, but you will still get plenty of people who will tell you the Z is the better bet, something that you may or may not agree with. So now we have rekindled the Vette vs. Z fight that happens every time someone asks this question. And believe me when I say that this same fight has happened many, MANY times before. You would have been better off searching the forums for one of the previous bouts. At least then you could have gotten the same info without having any of the eventual flames getting thrown at you.

And since we are on this topic anyway, screw the Vette, go buy a Nismo GTR and go piss of some Vette owners. You may find that more enjoyable.

That's what I did. I actually owned the Z06 first and bought a 370Z earlier this year. Love em both. The 370 is a great little car.

My stock Kawasaki ZX9R (10.3 sec ¼ mi) will beat the Vette in the video. For build and component quality sorry, you can’t beat “Made in Japan”. Both my 350Z and 370Z are engineering and assembly works of art. I have also owned a “68” Firebird 400, “69” Nova 396, a “75” Monza with a 262 V8 and a “62 “ Vette with a 327 / 350 hp drop-in. All of my GM “Hot Rods” disintegrated from the inside out. Push rod motors just don’t have the life span. They were all great fun while they lasted (About 50k miles before major engine repair) Our Nissan VQ37VHR engines are engineered about 3 decimal points greater to the right than the GM stuff. Also, to be fair, you should be looking at the GTR.

Haha yes, point taken. It appears that I offended quite a few people on this forum. My apologies. Some would argue that I fit into the "midlife crisis" category with a Z as well

Codename067 · 09-27-2014, 07:51 PM

Didnt the C7s start around 55k? Those are a steal if you can drop 6 bills a month on a car. I wasn't ready for it yet, even though I considered it for months before the Z.

No regrets though, Im loving the Z!
