No feeding please!
Everyone has his or her's on opinion about what they think is best...

That's what make's these boards interesting and fun. But bashing will get you
know where. I have owned both cars, vettes and Z's two of each.

why even compare the two at all. there is none. the vette is on average comparing apples to apples 18,000 to 25,000 more...

and sorry if you don't like 370.com why keep learking around........

Too much to reply to here guys, but thanks for all of your help.

Looks like I'll be picking up a 370Z within the next month, a couple of issues with the Challenger have come up since I first posted and my gut feeling tells me the thing is a ticking time bomb and it may be worth it to just flip it before I pick up too many miles and it isn't worth much.

This forum really has been great and given me some good insight into the car which allowed me to weigh the pros and cons of the decision. Will post pics of the old and new rides when I pick it up, currently in the middle of a move so may be delayed.

One last question...red or white?

White looks awesome when the light hits it just right and you see the metallic flakes.

i used to be a fan of red cars and have owned 3 but nowadays, they look too flashy. so i would pick white.

I was looking at used when I bought mine, so I would have taken what was available in my price range. So I ended up with white. And I love it. Like steveg78 says, the sun brings out all kinds of tones in the pearl white finish. I think the color compliments the lines of the car as well.

Police attention considered:
Red if you are brave. White if you aren't.

Red certainly looks better.

I looked at all the white cars we had locally and the bumpers were freakin horrible. Make sure to check the match in the daylight if your going white.

I almost bought the Challenger SRT8 over the Z, happy I was lucky in my decision. I think its a really nice car but its unfortunate it is having issues.

Anyway red or white, White I think would be a more classy look if that's what you want. Red if you want to stand out and shout here I am.

People say you get pulled over more with a red sports car. But I had a red Camaro I got pulled over less then I did with my blue Hyundai Tiburon.
