HAHA! I was REALLY turned off by the manager at the Nissan dealership I went to. I walked out of the show room in the middle of signing papers for a new 370z. 5 minutes later, my friend called me and told me he was selling his 2002 Z06... Well, I couldn't pass up the deal! He sold the car before I got the cash up front. I was all set on buying a Z06 at that point. Then that day he sold his, I found this one and test drove it right away. After a good thorough inspection over the car (for mechanical issues) I told him I'll take it and now I have it.
As for the interior, Chevy interiors have never been my favorite. I wish they would have done more with the Corvette or the Trans Am. But what's interesting about the Corvettes is that there's a lot of little things I didn't know about that's just way cool. Like the manual shifter night light. The gauges don't look great in the photo I posted, but at night they're a purple-blue color (not green like the picture shows) and they look really nice. The seats are comfortable, but they don't really hold me well, so I'll likely be getting seats from the C6 Z06.
I definitely liked the 370z interior more. But this Vette's interior is very clean and is a huge step up from my 300zx. The dual zone climate control is kind of cool. I don't know how much sense it makes in a tiny cab like the Vette's but still quite interesting. The radio sounds good, but I'll likely be changing the entire Bose system system out for a Pioneer AVIC system. There's OEM looking Double-Din bezels I can get for it.
I gave her a nick name on Tuesday.... "Zox"
