Damn it. I'd love to disagree, if I could.

I love that body style. I actually hope to own one some day as a weekender.

Maybe a magnetic ride control vette rides better than a Z but the base suspension???? Hahahaaaa... yeaaaahhh right. Sell that dream somewhere else...

To a degree yes but...

Just traded in my 09 Z06 Vette for a 12 370Z. I have had 5 Vette's (90, 95, 98, 07 & 09), some to over 100K, and have never had any mechanical issues. Agree the 98 C5 was a little harsh compared to 370Z but new C6's, especially with selective ride control, are much better than C5. 370Z still has a more plush feel. 09 Z06 with 7 liter was a race car for the road. Significantly more power and cornering grip than 370Z but also costs twice as much so it should be. Reason I traded was to cut payment in half and 370Z was the only vehicle that I liked enough to get rid of my Z06. I do miss my Vette but I also really like the new 370Z. Visibility and storage space is lacking but I like everything else. Still breaking the new car in but but really enjoying the change.

I'm very tempted by a newer Z06 with the fancy suspension, but this is a $100k+ car, otherwise the Z wins over any lesser vette, easy.

RichardGD 05-28-2012 11:31 AM

Have nothing but praise for the Z06, except for cost of tires ($2k) and oil changes (10.5 qts). But you have to pay to play. Biggest issue was that Z06 really shines at high speeds and I live in a congested area. Found that I would be really frustrated after a drive because I could never even get into 6th. Probably same frustration with 370Z but so far still excited about playing with all the electronics so don't mind sitting in traffic. Really wish 370Z had oil temp gauge though. Have always used this to know when I could start getting onto the gas pedal.

What? My c6 can easily outpace my 370.

The Vette Grand Sport is worth looking at.
