You really need to find something better to do with your time. Are you tired of watching "Smokey and the Bandit" sequels?

Nah, I got one. Just hate people like yourself that wish to cause problems on forums. It is obvious from your post history that is all you do here.

Other than 0-60 times, the Z excells in all other areas. My 2002 Z06 started to rattle like a snake after about six months....the build quality was terrible for a $50,000 car. A used one for less than $30,000 will give you great performance but will be only slightly better than a Camaro in quality. It just depends on what's most important to you.
I replaced the Z06 with a 350Z track model. I miss the power of the Vette, but I enjoy the handling, styling, and quality of the Z much more. I'm sure I'll be checking out the C-6 in couple of years, but for now, I'll stick with the Z.

I was going to....but when a new rattle developed just about every week (the kind of rattles you can't even find...like behind the speedometer), putting $12,000 into that car suddenly seemed pretty foolish. The car seemed to be falling apart before my eyes.
I thought I might consider the new Viper, but over $80,000 for car that supposedly now cooks it's passengers from excess heat in the cabin seems ridiculous......and the car's build quality is probably even worse than the Vette's. I'm not a Porsche fan, so I'll hope for some decent mods for the the 350Z, and I'll wait and see if GM gets their act together with the C-6 Corvette.

Try buying the almost 3900 pound (and butt ugly) GTR for anything close to its $70K+ sticker..if you can even find one. And you can easily find non-Z06 Vettes for under $40k....again, superior performance and value vs. the 370Z.
Don't get me wrong, I love the Z and I'm sure the new one will be a nice car, but it's certainly not the only game in town. Comparing it to the 4-banger Solstice is just plain stupid when it's real competition are the superior Corvette and the upcoming 422HP Camaro V8 for $30K.

The Z06 is the direct competitor to the GTR, not the base Corvette, which IS a (superior) competitor to the Z. Judging on the cost of maintenance, availability, and styling, the Z06 wins hand down over the GTR, although the GTR has the edge in performance and interior quality. If you want to throw in the ZR1, which now holds the new track record at the Nurburgring, the GTR loses big time.

Its pathetic, its completely allergic to boost...Last week I saw what boost did to the scrony LS7...just sad....but dont let continuity and epic fail after epic fail get in your way
"scrony"??
Companies like Lingenfelter and APS may disagree with you....but what do they know, right?

Unfortunately, the GTR is still like an ugly chick who is great in bed.....you can only stand her with the lights off. I'll take the smokin' hot one that is just about as good....and may actually be better depending upon the "driver."
