z or vette

Zoren 370

OP how old are you if you don't mind sharing.
2nd question whats your priority why you want a sports car?

midlife

HaHa, so does the Z.

Tick64

Haha yes, point taken. It appears that I offended quite a few people on this forum. My apologies. Some would argue that I fit into the "midlife crisis" category with a Z as well

As much of how I love the new styling, interior and performance of the new c7, the thought of owning a GM car which totally turns me off, especially the fact of the amount of recalls and GM is not allowed to sell 2015 untill all recalls are rectified.

I do understand where your coming from. GM sucks!
But when it comes to vett. Its a different ball game. Its their Gem,its the very essence of their existence.

Just as Nissan sucks with their Sentra's but when it comes to the Z and with the GTR its like a different world to them.

Nola? Have you owned a vett?

No sir, but I've long been in love with them. I have been keeping up with them pretty heavily since 04ish. I would love to own one but I can't afford one nor would my wife allow it. I've usually been impressed and still am with the new Vettes but at this time it feels wrong recommending a Vette.

Personally I'd keep the Z. My car eats vetts all day. My father owns a Vett and I've driven it many times fast yea, but over priced and everyone has one. Plus for half the price you can make a z way better. I'm just a Z lover, so Z all the way

Your Z won't eat a C7 Vett, trust me! In fact it won't even be close.

NoLaKrewe

That's my thing, I wouldn't switch from a car with fairly little problems to a car with so many problems they have already stopped selling them

Z for sure! If I had the extra $$ I'd buy a used or new GTR over a Vette. GM

I like the newer ones (in hardtop) but I'm not sure how I'll feel about them 10 years from now. Zs age well and you can always go FI if you want it to be stupid fast.

If I could have any Vette it would be a C3 modded all to hell. Nothing between 1982 and the new C7 really impresses me to be honest.

having owned both, I liked my z, but love my C7. it rides nicer, much better interior. honestly if the z had a better engine i think i would have kept it, but it just wasnt smooth/powerful enough. still love the z looks though!

Heh, heh...

I can't believe people are saying the z is the best bang for your buck.. It's probably 3rd behind a mustang gt 5.0 and used c6 vette. The. Mods you would have to spend on a z to be faster than those cars is Not worth it.

The only thing holding me back actually from buying a z actually is the performance just isn't there for the money.

And what about the Camaro? The new Z28 smoked the corvette by 3 seconds in the car and driver lightning lap.



Honestly, you buy a car like either Z, vette,Mustang, Camaro, because it trips your trigger. I don't care if any of these new tech are faster than my Z. I love my Z and I didn't buy it because it was the fastest. I bought the Z because it is fast and looks cool doing it and it is what I could afford. And none of those others has synchro rev matching. Well, for 60k,you can get it in a new vette now, five years later.
