Those motors get great mileage for the power.

Well I wont see to much of the 2K rpm for the first month I think, except when the wife is in the car. By the way she is thinking of things to do so she can ride in it. She didnt do this with the Z.

Good luck with the vette! They just seem soooo wide to me. But the power...that part I understand!

What's funny is it's just an optical illusion. The C6 Corvette is 72.6" wide. The 370Z is 72.8" wide. The Vette is not very tall so it appears wider than it is.

You're not kidding, Steve! It is quite an illusion. I had no idea they were so similar in width.
edit: I'm also surprised to learn that the 370 is only about an inch wider than the 350. It looks much wider to me. I've got to get my eyes checked...

The wheelbase of the 370 is 4" shorter than the 350, so that probably contributes to the 350 appearing much narrower.

Thats why I say the vette is just as much a DD as the Z. Even more so to me as I think the vette has a smoother ride in all.

Same with my 5.0! I've had only one Corvette driver rev his engine, didn't bother me, I'm not a teenager nor do I have the mentality of one.

That's kindof funny. The 'vette looks "right" to me and the 370Z looks tall and skinny. The only way I look at them and appreciate them is from the side. From the front family car stance.
