Subaru WRX fan reports on Z.

i guess if ure tracking these cars that would make sense.

another thing i dont understand are these cars and coffee get togethers. u guys just sit around talking/bragging about car specs while u could be driving around and enjoying them. maybe great for photographers and museum goers.

car clinics, DIY get togethers, i can understand.

I have tracked my Z twice and do plan on doing some light tracking on the C7 eventually. I do LOVE to do some spirited driving though. Only times I will go to C&C events now are with our local MAZOC group or one of the larger events in the area to see some new exotic car that I haven't seen in person before.

sounds good

I test drive the vette and I'm crazy about it for a host of reasons I don't feel like writing out right now... But in short, as a street car. I still think the Z is still better suited. You get to 60 waaaaayyy too fast in the vette on the street and there's not as much drama that can be had on roads as with the Z. It must've hit 60 well under 4.0 seconds. But I came out of my test drive thinking. Maybe a Z06 as a dedicated track car? The vette was well behaved on the road and it's transitional ability was stupendous. The C7 fit and finish made the Z feel dated. I tested a black vette with red leather. Very nice car. Amazing experience. Getting on the highway Wowed me. That's where the vette took the Z out completely. Especially when I hit the donut exit. Wow... Loads of grip.

For us willing to spend over $70k. There are so many sports car options. Under $70k is starting to lose ground again like the 90's. It's gonna be Miatas and muscle, all over again.

this isn't the "fanboy" in me talking, but the ONLY car i would consider buying over 70k is the nissan gtr.

GZ3

same but I will add:

porsche caymen gts
the new audi TT looks soo promising
I test drove a c7, fun, ran into 3 on my test drive....ehhh....for the price of the c7 id rather get a gen 6 camaro and mod it.

A used Z06 is ALWAYS a great option.

DavidZ370

Dont even care about the stupid rumors, i plan on keeping the Z and next car will definitely be a R35 or the newer model GTRs if they come out in the next 3-5 years

vtec to vvel

for what the gtr is at 120K~.

my thoughts exactly. keep the 370Z as DD and the GTR as a weekend car.

and nah man, gotta get the GT Nismo

u posted 'over 70K' so i thought the sky waz the limit..

vtec to vvel

true, my bad haha. and really man? if sky was limit, you would only go for a $250k car? lol

if sky was limit for me, i'd get 3 GTR's: one for DD, second for garage-viewing/showcar, and last one for track purposes only.
