Vette Owners Never Fail to Surprise Me...

Just cant see the 3.5 again. My 370Z was pretty damn fast but I just didnt like the high revs and I still wanted more power so thats why I went to the vette. I do love the style of the 370Z tho and the interior is maybe a little better than the vette but I love my power.

:iamwithstupid:

And this is why 95% of them watch NasCar and can't understand Formula1 and how a 3.5l V8 can make 800hp and rev to 19,000 rpm. :shakes head: I can understand someone wanting a V8. Wanting a American icon vehicle. Wanting to mature a bit and get away from the "Tuner" scene. But to say they didn't like the "high revs" has to be the gayest reason behind getting a different vehicle.

I got rid of a 2006 Z51 vette and went to the 370z with no regrets. The vette guy you quoted is lost.

:tup: I agree 100%! But to say I didn't like ANY "performance" car due to it reving high is gay. "Wow look at the GSX-R 1300 Busa. Holy shyt its crazy fast! But I'm going to get a Harley cause I don't like how the Busa revs to 14k rpms. :shakes head:

I think he was referring to the coarseness of the VQ35/37 engine @ high rpm. I'm not a fan of it, either.

:iagree: This. I currently own two (older) Corvettes as well as the Z. Plus, go drive a C6 and then tell me if you can't feel the difference - there's way more low-revs torque in a Corvette than there is in the Z.

I gave up my RX-8 because I couldn't stand a 9000 RPM redline. All my friends with their 6000 RPM redlines would tease me terribly, telling me to go commit suicide doors.

:rolleyes:

who cares. c6 is my next car

Jordo!

Reving high is fun, but who doesn't want more torque at lower RPM's?

I get it.

That said, it's not like you have to rev the Z all that high to get it moving...

It's not all vette driver, just this one guy's opinion.

The power delivery is different, and the v8 is torquier in the low rev range.

But who cares? Both cars are fun, sleek, powerful sports cars.
