Default Should I keep my Z?

I love my Z, but I have the opportunity to buy my dad's Corvette. It is a Black 2000 has a V8, performance exhaust, nice chrome wheels and 60K miles. My Z is a White '03 stock with 40k miles. I need help making up my mind.

Everybody has corvettes, they're nothing special really, they don't attract attention either because they're a common sight, plus it's an old man's car

350Z is a fresh flashy attractive car that you don't see coming and going. You know that big compliments thread we have on the 350Z forums.....they don't have one on the corvette forums because they're old news.

A Vette is alright... I mean the interiors are beyond crap.. cost of ownership is higher and your downgrading to an older car. Unless its a Z06 I wouldnt consider it.. now if the price is right then its not a bad pick up. My next sports car is a Porsche GT3 so everyone has a price. On the down side of a Z... well I guarantee there's more Zs then Vettes on the road, a Vette is a Vette. As for the guy saying that Vettes are old people cars..? Cmon guy.. Now that the 370's are out 350's are old news. Save your money and stick to the Z... its overall a better car.

Umm well I'm from Miami, FL.. I dont see any beer swilling uncles driving vettes. Especially since you can pick one up used for less than 25k and not to mention people are now TT'ing them. Though I will agree with the 03+ Z06 or C6.. Vettes performance is undeniable.

nah 40 isn't that old.....I think there's some kind of rule that you have to be an old man to drive a corvette. And there's no way there are more 350Zs than corvettes, not even close, at least in ohio because corvettes are pretty darn common.

You should probably stop guaranteeing **** you know nothing about.
