his car is nassssty

seen and heard it in person a few times.

How's it pull? I've never really seen it take off. It sounds sick with the cam. I'm really only boosting it for the antilag flame show lol.

I disagree. I have worked the numbers already. It's about 50% cheaper than a boosted VQ. If you pawn off all the work... yeah it will be more expensive.

C7 all day!! First off its new vs old so c7 wins. Easy vs hard to obtain = c7 wins. Trouble free for years vs trouble even before you start the build = c7. Looks sexy = yup, c7 looks. Better than Z imo. Design to lay globs of power down in the Twisties and straight vs only going Twisties and totally suck straight = c7 wins. Ohh there is plenty more but you get the idea. I love my Z but I'd trade it for a new c7 any day. Boosted z are cool and rare find but so is a z06/7.

Edit: I forgot to mention that a cam and exhaust v8 just sound nasty!! It always turns my head when I hear one rolling Cuz it sounds like the car is about to go eat a Prius !! Lol. So bad azz!

Short List

C7 warranty. LS 370z no warranty.
C7 new tech. 370z old tech.
C7 no millage on non-engine stuff. 370z has millage.
C7 suspension for track comes with it. 370z need to buy $2k+ coilovers and still aren't as good as the C7.
C7 new car smell.

Or buy a base 981 and swap in a 3.8 911S engine with warranty (Porsche gives core credit for 2.7L engines get $6k back). Mid Engine over everything.

For street use, C7 Z06 for sure. If you track every weekend, stay with 370z unless you are willing and able to deal with replacement parts costs. Tires and rotors alone will burn a hole in your pocket.
