All joking aside, I want a 370Z, and Lou has the "nearest" one to me, on a time-line scale, and even that won't happen until mid-feb. I have to post SOMETHING to keep me busy. I was just curious if there was anything "ugly" about the 370 at the limit that bit people in the arse. I have always owned and driven RWD V8 cars, most of the manuals, and understand the principal of it, but I fully admit I am not god's gift to driving. I leave all my nannies on in the Z06. That car can be a hand-full no-matter how good you think you are. So far I don't think the nannies have bailed me out, because I don't do things I am unsure about in it, but it's REALLY nice knowing they are there. Very unobtrusive, as well.

Anyway, forgive me for killing time while I wait on a 370Z like I want to arrive in America. Looks like Lou's is my best bet.
never driven a z06, or any other rwd car for that matter. but i'd say the z is better balanced and better handling than the corvette. it comes from the factory with a hint of understeer, and you can cure that on the track with a bit of throttle to push it into neutral. so on the road, unless you do something stupid like hard throttle on a slippery road, you won't get the snap oversteer and fishtailing you can get with corvettes. keep the vdc on when it's raining or snowing and you'll be fine.
