The only sports car rated more reliable by consumer reports was the Porsche Boxter.

in Town, Vettes, Camaros, and Mustangs are Everywhere. but there is only one white NISMO...
The Z is more Exotic. we will never be faster than a Z06 with a little work done to it, but I wanted a Jap car that would maybe hold some value and be fun to mod.
I think a GTM stg 2 SC will give the Z06 a run for it's money. I am planning to find out.
and If you want to get a bad *** car don't stop at a Z06, go to a CTS-V!! Nuff said!

The CTS-V has a much nicer interior, but the Z06 is way more of a bad ***. Unless you are talking about some attributes other than handling,braking, and acceleration.
Neither the 370Z or the Z06 are "exotic", and neither is worth crap for holding resale value.
Whatever it takes to run mid 11's@124 or so on a street tire with a half-decent driver is what it will take to give comp to a Z06 in stock form.
As to the age comments I keep seeing, that is just because younger guys usually don't have the patience or the means to save up and buy a Z06 as often as they do cheaper cars like mustangs, camaros, and 350/70's. That's like calling a 1/2 million $$ home lame because only older people have them. No, you have it wrong. Only people who have money have them. I know plenty of younger guys in 'vettes. They just have rich families or good income.

This is my only snag. I drove a few 370Z's, and played with a few 'vettes. I don't go much for NAV systems, so that doesn't bug me, but the over-all look of the 370Z's interior is much superior in my opinion. Quality, the Z's seats are better, and after that it's a wash for me. In the end, aftermarket seats are cheaper than TT systems and don't void a warranty, so if I ever tire of the seats in a Z06, I am in a much better place than needing a TT system to get my jollies.
