My first American car in a very long time after lots of German stuff. I like driver's cars and the Vette just didn't do it for me. The limits were so high you just couldn't have fun on the street. Sold it last April for $40K, bought car #57, the Z for $31.5 and threw the rest in the bank. Couldn't be happier with the decision....YMMV
Out with the old, in with the new...

LOL We're in the same boat. Our Vette was on the "bucket list" as well. 50+ cars later, we finally gave the Vette experience a go. Looking forward to moving on in March. BTW... the Vette was our first American car in 20 years as we've been buying Japanese and German as well. Oh, and now that GM is "Goverment Motors", that even adds more reason to look forward to "out with the old, in with the new".
You are right, the cost factor of the Z will also be a nice change. To us, spending about $43k for a 2010 370Z Roadster / touring / sport will be a bargain compared to what we generally spend on cars. The Z sure offers much for the money.
