Never buy a first year model. Vettes are all over the place so they are not unique. The standard C6 is good, can a Z keep up with it? Not a Z06 C6. Those are fairly rare though. Vette's before that the Z will likely keep up. So I don't think performance is a good reason. With some mods the Z will be in contention with a base C7 and looks elegant doing it. The C7 is all edges and stuff.

Even so, I do like the looks of the C7.

A fully bolt on and tuned Z can maybe...... I repeat... maybe can keep up with a stock C5 vette (0-60/ 1/4). A C5 Z06? No chance. And a C6, base or Z06 would destroy a Z. We already know the answer about a C7.

Not trying to be a GM fan boy... but lets be realistic people. For the money, you get a ton of performance with these cars. And I'm not talking about just straight line speed. Since the C5 came out, these things can handle, brake, you name it. Are they everywhere? Well it is an American made car, so no sh!t.

As far as claiming only old men drive them.... well if that is the case then the majority of 370z drivers I see around my area look like a Jersey Shore characters. And don't even get me started about 350z drivers. Kinda pointless to base your opinion on a car by its drivers. I understand this is a Z forum, but believe it or not there are better performance cars out there. And not that much more expensive compared to the new Nismo with tech +7At package.
