Default Should i trade my roadster?

I'm so confused, please help me decide! I have a 06 350z roadster GT with 11000 miles on it , then i saw this used 05 C6 corvette with 31000 miles on it. should i trade it for this 400hp beast or just wait for the 370Z?

my z.


and here's the C6


I just can't resist that 400HP but i hate american cars and not so good looking (cheap)interior and do you guys think this car looks better than Z?

that's a hard one. Your roadster looks nice, especially fully loaded like that. Looks like my car but in in convertible. But the c6 is faster.

Depends on what you care about more... you really enjoy the open top and cruizing with the Z and reasonable power? Or do you not care that much and would prefer more power and looking like you are trying to get ahead in your mid-life crisis? lol... kinda the way it is.

Thats a nice lookin' vette but I think the is an overall more quality car. But the vette is a classic sports car, so its all about what you really want. I dont think anyone is gonna rip on you either way.

I was in the same predicament. I chose my '07 Z though more for reliability issues because it was gonna be pretty much my daily driver. If thats not the case I would probably go with the vette. How much are they asking anyways for that?

I would have said 'Vette, but I don't like the color (personally).

Keep the roadster and see how the 370z plays out.

any vettes garbage man. .you'll notice every damn thing rattles when you drive specially when you hit lil bumps on the road. it'll end up driving you crazy. the rides not smooth at all. only good thing is probably the HP compared, but whats HP to a shitty drive??

I'm by no means a vette fan, but the C6 from my experiences, are the most solidly built vette ever. They appear to be pretty tough....now if u jump up to the ZO6 C6 that becomes even more true...anyways point is the C6 is a much better car than a C5,4,3,2,1.

I'd stick with the Z. (I actually see more Vettes here than Z's....dime a dozen.

thats a fine looking C6, it would be a tough decision for sure. I've never driven the vette, but I have a feeling I'd be leaning on that side of the fence.

compare insurance qoutes first, if there is no substantial difference, vette all the way, i love my Z but i had to choose, vette wins, most would choose vette even they aren't man enought to admit it on here, and it has nothing to do with a mid-life crisis, the age demographic for the Z is roughly the same, its about driving the best cars you can, while you can, enjoy your new vette!

Get rid of the ZR, buy the C6.

Hardtops > Verts

Never been a fan of a Z roadster but I would stick with it and hang for the 370z to come. Getting a vette with 31k miles is BLAH. Plus waiting a little longer will let you get a newer vette with less miles if you dont like the 370z. If you like the hp so much just mod your Z a bit.

The Z ya got looks better then that vette anyways...just my opinion. I may be byist but I have also loved corvettes since I can remember so Im not hating on it one bit.
