I just started searching for C5 Zo6's online and realized I could get a lightly used one 03-04 for low 30K. Not bad. Affordable to most of us who bought a Z. I just would have hard time rolling in the Vette and being "that guy" No offense to the OP I think the car is totally sick, but don't know if it fits me.

I found a 1997 Acura NSX with 32,000 miles for $36,000. Black, tan leather, absolutely immaculate. Im thinking of jumping on it. I'd rather do that than just be another vette rolling down the road (though i completely respect them, its just not me).

Dark Side As Well!
I pulled the trigger as well and purchased a 2007 Vette C6 Coupe Machine Silver.
Though I have not posted much I did really enjoyed my three years with the forum and the 350Z Roadster.

Im guessing you have a 10 second 350z
?The Z06 has superior Handling (multiplied by 10
)The Z06 will leave Bus-Lenghts on you
The Z06 will... you get the point.
The only thing disappointing on the Z06 is its interior... but it should only be disappointing for those with great interiors (Luxury cars); it shouldnt be disappointing to a 350z owner.

Please show me a C5 Z06 vette with low milage going for low 30k's... I wont believe it till i see it.
And trust me, you would be "that guy" if you rolled up in this C6 Z06 (stock with powder coated stock rims):
Im sure many 350z owners would "go to the dark side" if they could afford such a beauty, including myself.
PS. Dark Side= American?

To the OP.... get a couple of cut-outs and a cold-air intake. Good for about 30 rwhp. The factory intake is pretty bad.

Vettes are awesome cars.
Bone stock automatic C6 on stock street tires ran 2:00.6xx lap time at Spring Mountain Motorsports Ranch in Pahrump with me driving.
350Z 6MT with sways, coilovers, exhaust, intake, plenum, HF cats, TS reflash, R-Compound radials, and built OEM Brembos ran 2:01.1xxx with me driving at the same track on the same day.
If that doesn't put it in perspective for you, I don't know what does. And whats worse, with a few more sessions, I probably could have gotten a 1:58.xx with the Vette.

Well that time is now. My real target is to get Skyline when they come to US and it will be another 2-3 years before I can get it anyway. So in the meantime, I have decided to get a vette.
Traded my Z for C5 Z06. For those of you who hates Vette and never driven one, I strongly recommend a test drive. You won't be disappointed.
It's been a pleasure being part of Z family...Please no flames....who knows, we'll meet again in GT-R forum...
