The tuner/import scene is a lot of fun, and the average age of vette owners is 60 (if I remember correctly), so I don't have anyone to cruise with or go to meets with. I want the z because it will be a comfortable daily, with still a little bit of passing power when I need it. I don't ever really use the power (trying to keep the driving record clean ) but its nice to have sometimes. Seeing as how I might end up having to travel long distances soon for work, its a good time to switch into something more efficient.
I don't really think it is more efficient. Chevy says the C6 gets 16/26 and Nissan says the 370Z gets 18/26. It's pretty impressive that a big V8 6.0-6.2L with 400+hp stock gets the same gas milage as a 330 hp 3.7L V6. Both cars have nearly the same drag coefficient's and curb weights.

I have an 08 G37 and while it is a bad *** car, its not like a 2 seater sports car. Also weighs a bit more than a 370 with the same engine, so its slower. I'd give it up in a heartbeat for a vette like yours though. I've really been considering trading it for a 370Z or a C6. Bad *** car bro Good luck with whatever you end up doing.
