I've concluded that the interior of the Vette is only bad to those who have never sat in it.
I will reiterate...in terms of interior quality, feel, and design, it is no better or worse than the 370Z. Neither interior is anything to write home about, but at the same time not bad enough to show up on the radar of complaints. You want a nice interior? Go buy a Range Rover and quit bitching. It's funny how no one seems to realize that to come close the base Corvette's performance and have a snazzy interior, one would have to move up to a $90K+ Carrera S. |

The '08 Range Rover Supercharged I got for my girlfriend has been the most unreliable car we've ever had. But, sure...it is built well in terms of feel. Thank God the lease is almost up. |

Oh man JoeD. Sorry to hear it. We've had really good luck with ours. (Think about all the systems in that car that most don't have. Yeah, like people say, "Just another thing that could go wrong.") We've had a few minor quibbles here and there, (Check engine light which turns out to be nothing but a reflash, and the power tilt wheel that went out, but all-in-all, they've been awesome. Hence, we MUST buy another. Ha ha! We have an '06 Sport SC and '08 Full Size SC. We love them. Like you said, they are pretty cool to drive. Our friend who posted should just get what he'd likes. You'll run into things you don't like on any car. (My Z has plenty of flaws, but I still love it.) Go with your gut, and you'll usually win. |

Boosted, anything is possible, but it's really beside the point. The Z does it (quickly and regularly) while stock, on a racetrack, and the Vette doesn't. What did you have for FI on your Vette? Supercharger or turbo? |

I would get the Vette anyday over the Z. what kept me away was not wanted to spend that kind of money in this economy right now. If it wasnt for the economic downturn, i would buy the Vette.
I'm not hating on the Z at all, heck i own one. But I sure would have liked the Vette a little more. |

I have an 03 350Z and a 06 C6 (Z51, 3LT) and I have driven Modshack's 370Z. Both my cars are modded. The Vette is very fast and it's more comfortable than my 350Z on the highway, but it's not as much fun to drive. In my opinion the C6 lacks the overall feel of the 350Z and the 370Z. It feels bigger and heavier than it is because of its width and long wheelbase. The steering is also vague compared to the Zs and the shifter notchy. It's not as much of a driver's car as the Zs are.
If you want a nice 06 C6 mine is for sale with only 7,200 miles. It's got bolt ons and a tune as well as a custom leather interior. I purchased the Vette brand new in January of 2007. My next purchase is going to be a 370Z.

A Z with the latest technology, synchrorev, vvel, powerful yet efficient vq37vhr, etc.... A vette still using 2 valves/cyl, pushrod engine, etc.... (why not add carburettors while at it?) A Z someone young with youth and vigour may drive. A vette driven mostly by 50 yr old men with a midlife crisis. A Z with class, something a well educated professional may drive, beautiful curves, euro style looks. Think Porsche 911 carrera. A vette that is the car of choice for rednecks. Think Dale Earnhardt Jr. Vettes are crap. The only good ones were the stingray/mako shark generation. Besides, you're talking about a base stripped down vette. not a z06 or even the grandsport/z51. Apart from the overbloated engine giving decent straightline acceleration, everything else on that vette is inferior to the z, brakes, suspension, wheels, tires, handling, interior, fit and finish, quality and reliability, etc..... |

If you read what he said, he was getting a really really super special offer due to connections and friends in high places. A new vette will never be that cheap. Heck, that seems to be below invoice I'm guessing.
