Nissan 370Z Forum  

Anyone go from a Corvette to a 370??

Steve, The Vette might be faster, but the Z is much more fun to drive. I had both for a while, and I do regret selling the Vette a little,

Steve,
The Vette might be faster, but the Z is much more fun to drive. I had both for a while, and I do regret selling the Vette a little, and I might buy a Grand Sport still, but I definitely like the Z better.

And, Chris does have a point. I actually enjoyed my vette less when it was supercharged than when it wasn't and you really can't wring out an NA vette on public roads.

I want to feel that 400 hp and 400 tq, the Z is fun but it lacks the TQ to me, now I was looking at the GS too but they werent giving me anything for a trade in for my Z so the deal couldnt be done, but I will wait for the 2014 vette and try to SC the Z in the mean time. I have plenty of roads here in TX to let the vette loose.

If I get the GS, it will be an addition, not a replacement. It would give me the justification to gut the z

The Z feel dirt slow compare to the Vette. You can make up for some of it with a smaller tire to get you shorter gears.

no transmission problems or any problems at all. im still debating it but i might just stick with the vette for a little longer to see what else comes out.

I've seen a lot of Z06's and thought they were cool, but I just saw my first ZR1 up close and I got sprung. In other words, if you have a ZR1, you won't need any viagra.

I've been using Corvettes as my DD for over ten years & just ready for a change.

Any and all experiences or opinions are welcome.

Edit: of course I meant "to a" in the thread title.....
I think if you do you should by a Nismo, preferrably a black one...like mine that im selling

I often withhold my sexual favors from her when she pisses me off. Unfortunately, she's never noticed.

If you had a ZR1, you wouldn't need a wife.
