Jetstream blue is a great color, this car really looks good anyway you paint it. I was considering Yellow and Black as well. Almost bought a JSB one a few months ago.

That Z06 is exactly what I'd get color wise.
I wish the Grand Sport had the motor of the Z06. I like the targa tops. I guess they lose a lot of structural strength when they are targa topped and that is why Chevy decided to go hardtop on Z06 and ZR1. The 2015 Vette looks good though. If they have a 2015 Grand Sport with 500+ HP I'll go that way. Until then I'll enjoy my 370Z and 50th Anniversary Special Edition Vette. I'd gladly trade off the Z and the older vette for a 500 HP C7. Well then, maybe not .... Congrats on your Vette !!!!

If you think it pulls hard now, slap in a nasty cam, some LTH's, and a CAI and you will think you got rear ended by a dump truck every time you floor the gas pedal. A gain of about 100 HP (depending on cam specs) and you can do it all for roughly $3500-$4500.

This is where muscle rules.

Well JDM is not cheap that's for sure. Muscle cars are cheap HP. Not saying that in a bad way either. I wish I never laid eyes on the Z. But because I have I can never look a American muscle the same again. unless they change the domestic look.

All domestics look different from one another, can't just group them all because they are from the US. Dodge vs Chevy vs Ford... each is very different. It's not the country that determines the look, it's the design team.

People never asked about my 350z since there was a million of those things sold, but the 370z was different. When the new Camaro first came out it was pretty awesome, now... there are WAY too many.

Agreed, along with new M3 and Cayman S. Will be looking to possibly swap out the Z in 2016. Give Chevy & BMW a couple of years to get the majority of the bugs out, plus my Z will only be 3 model years old, so I should still have good resale value.
