3180# 2-seater > 3800# 4-seater

$54.5k base?

New cheaper priced GT500, 3800lb 4 seater > Used 3180lb 2 seater...

I guess, but my Z06 was brand new and I watched them build it, and then I went on a free trip (minus $500 for air-fare and a condo) to Vegas and learned how to drive it.

All so much cooler than the soul-less "well, I went and ordered one, it should be here in 6 weeks" Ford rigamarole.

Over the past however long, we get it bro. You love your corvette and its a superior machine to even the space shuttle. I'm just sick of seeing the same damn posts about it over and over and over and over on this 370Z FORUM. Give it a rest will ya?

All hail corvette. you win. move along.

Which reminds me, I beat a Z06 corvette on the track with a 2800lb 2 seater. 160HP at most, does this mean Nissan 240sx > Used 3180lb 2 seater?

Lug 05-26-2012 02:37 AM

numbers huh? ok....

662 hp > 505 hp

631 tq > 470 tq

203 MPH > 195 etc...etc....etc......
Plus, the GT500 can carry more groceries and 2 extra hot chicks! I assume Z06 owners can only handle 1 hot chick at a time.....pity. :(



:D

A-effin-MEN bro. I'd probably donate a kidney for this thing.

I sold my Z and just picked up a 2010 Gt500 loaded and with only 9k miles. I love this car, it is not the fastest, most refined...etc...but it does one thing perfectly, it is damn fun to drive. There is always something faster, sometimes it is us and sometimes a Bugatti rolls up LOL

Meh, one is a helluva muscle car, one is helluva sports car, but I like my 370Z quite a bit obviously. Sounds like a few people are on the rag, oh well. Not my problem :)

I bought a Z06 over the GT500, and a 370Z over a 5.0. What can I say? raw numbers < what I enjoy most = sports car.

I still think GM is only worried about the gt500/camaro, corvette is a different product.

I was just yanking your chain, the Z06 is simply one of the greatest sports cars of this era. Well, except for the not carrying two extra hot babes part. :D

I would agree with import. The Vette is a totally different car to the GT500.

I don't think Ford has come out to beat the Vette with the Z06... It's just like people trying to compair the GT500 to the GTR. Again, different car

Everyone is just gunning to out do the Prius in 0-6mph acceleration. So far none have succeeded.
