Some additional points to note:
C6 has much better visibility. It's like being in a bubble. The 370 has bad blind spots. Probably one of the worst I've ever been in.

Obviously in terms of straight line speed, it's no contest, especially compared to the ls3. A c5 (non z06) is closer.
Both cars are relatively noisy, but the 370z is a bit quieter (until you drive over loose dirt/gravel, then it sounds like your wheel wells are being sandblasted).

If you are getting factory nav, the vette is LAME (with a capital for all 4 letters!). The nissan unit is infinitely better.

OnStar is LAME too.

The Z's seats are fantastic.
My current Z06 has the LS7,so I'll be giving up 155HP,not sure about the torque,but I'm sure it's substantial. Anyone know the weight on the Nismo? I know the Z06 is a tad less than 3200lbs....maybe the 370 can make up some ground on that front?
