BTW, I do wish the Vette had the seats from the Z. The seats really are the weak point.

But, from a performance perspective, the Vette is a big step up from the Z. Not even a race.

The Z does have better steering feel (especially with the Sport package), but the Vette just has much higher limits, even with its dated rear suspension setup.

I think that is evident from the price differential.

Again, I'm a huge fan of the Z, amazing what Nissan was able to do at this price point. Just different strokes for different folks.

Also, the new GranSport trim will be great, but I just don't think the $10k premium is worth the wide body and Z06 brakes. I prefer the base coupe looks over the Z06.

To answer the pricing question, my Z listed for $41.8k and the real value today was between $30-$32k. Because of my problems and dealer damaging the car (plus my friendship with the GM) we were able to get substantially higher dollars. I only lost $1100 of wwhat I actually paid. I can live with that.

Again, I want to thank everyone on this board. Very well informed and thoughtful folks.

Thanks

And to my fat azz, I think the vette seats are much more comfy. The Z ones kind of squeeze me in for daily driving, although I think I will prefer them on the track.

As for the dated part, brand identity is huge and a good thing, is the 911 dated too?

I still love them both!

When I was 11, I saw the StingRay and fell in love with it.......Corvettes rock! Have fun with it.

P.S.,

You mentioned about 911's. Perhaps, you should do what I did---I kept my 911s with my Z.

cheers and, again, good luck.
