Wanted to share this with anyone who cares thought you would get a kick out of it. I was driving by a local used car lot today and a yellow 02 corvette caught my eye. iv'e owned vette's before but it's been awhile. so i thought what the heck i know the owner of the lot so i asked for a test drive. over all the car had been well taken car of with only 72,000 on it.and it was fully loaded....

well it didn't take long to realize i hadn't been missing much. it felt strange sitting behind the wheel. like wearing someone else's shoes. it was an auto
4 speed. first it will not come close to the 370's AT. the vette felt like you had to punch it hard to feel any power. where the 370 feels like it pulls through all 7 speeds. i'm not saying the 370 is faster but imho it does feel quicker going through the gears. the vette is 7 years older but the ride quality compared to the 370 sucks. i'm not going to ramble the vette is faster but it's a brute, and they do look damn good and the exhaust had a good sound. which made me appreciate how quite the 370 is until you punch her. when i got back into my car it felt like it fit like a glove. the lesson i learned was the grass is not always greener on the other side. and the 370z is a DAMN fine sports car for the money.
