Z06 vs. 370Z

Shamu · 10-30-2011, 02:21 AM

I was considering a C6 when I was looking at the Nismo. I didn't buy the C6 due to lack of gold chains and chest hair.

hmmm, but you can at least grow chest hair correct?

I don't know what's more annoying. The C4 piece of crap guys saying they have the same car as me or the 280Z guys saying their cars are close to the 370

I don't get any attention in my z06. People ignore it and I like that. I'm not going to have to put up with any bs owning the 370z, either, I hope.

yes... you will, it gets looks and attention pretty much everywhere I go.

People will want to race you all the time with the Z. Most people know better with the Z06, but everybody and their mother wants a piece of the Z! It's going to get a lot of attention.

Mine was red and got a TON of looks. People want to talk about it all the time. People want to race it all the time. People want to stare at it all the time... it's great if you like being the center of attention!

Let's be honest, no one out there doesn't like a bit of positive attention. It's nice cruising by the clubs late at night and causing everyone in line to turn and stare. The Z is super sexy, and there's not much out there that looks like it, so you're going to have to get used to the attention.

Meh. Somehow I doubt that a 370Z is going to draw that kind of attention. For being a small backwater little southern military town, there are a TON of nice cars here (5.2 R8, Gallardo, Ferrari, tons of NSX, SLS AMGs, GT3 and other flavors, Vipers, etc. etc. etc. can be seen on a daily basis). Either way, I prefer to be left alone and don't appreciate strangers approaching me.

Very true, it's a beautiful car with sexy curves. And a nice exhaust only augments the attention.

The base C6 vettes are fast and great, but the looks are too subtle for me. Z06s are sexy as ****. Can't wait to see what they do with the C7.

A z06 is a supercar, many car journos have referred to it as such.

The supercar definition is open to interpretation. Some believe it is based on a performance standard. Others believe it's a combination of performance + exclusivity. And by exclusivity I mean high barriers to entry. Limited production numbers, prestigious brand name, and high cost...

If you go by performance alone, the Z06 is definitely a supercar.

But if you factor in the other bits that you get with a Ferrari, Lamborghini, McLaren, Bugatti, etc... it isn't.

KaienZ34 · 10-30-2011, 10:32 PM

I love the vette, i had a SC'ed 383 stroked C3 Vette. I wanted a C6 and looked a good bit and test drove a few, but in the end there were just way to many on the road. I still think they are badazz and look when i see them on the road every day. Other than my Z there is only 6 370 in town, i see lambos more offten than 370s. The Vette will always hold a special spot in my heart as it was my first car love.

Odd.370z is very common here. About like a mustang 5.0.

Say it ain't so........

Every 3-5 cars rolling around in Central Texas are Mustangs in various years models and trim levels. I thing they are pretty good for what you get, but I have had my fill. I see a lot of Z33/V35s out there on the orad these days, but I credit that to deployment spending and such. I can cound on both hands how many Z34s there are in my area. I see them even less when I go home to Baltimore on leave.

On the other hand, there is ONE ZR1 here (that I have seen)........

KaienZ34 · 10-31-2011, 12:11 AM

Well if we're talking ZR1's i've only seen 4 on the road here. Nowhere near as common as a normal C6, hell even my 60yr old neighbor has a yellow vert C6 with a black stripe down the center.

Skeeterbop · 10-31-2011, 12:12 AM

When I was out at ft hood I saw a ZR1 at a car meet. I think i saw maybe 5 different 370z before moving to el paso (was at fort hood for roughly 2 months)

ImportConvert · 10-31-2011, 12:26 AM

Cop in my apt complex has had two 370s, there are 1 or 2 outside the hospital I work at most Monday mornings (same cars, employee). Hmmm... off the top of my head those are the cars I see every day.
