It makes too much sense I guess 370 v. C6
Unfortunately in many ways I think they have created a box for themselves. If they make the Z that much more powerful then they're realistically cutting into the GTR market IMO. There are many that like the looks and RWD of the Z more than the GTR (I might be one of those, not sure).
Frankly, I'd rather pay 50k for a Z with 425-450 hp than I had a Vette for the same power. Power isn't everything I know....I'm one of those that is far more concerned with handling, but let's face it..the Vette doesn't give up much (if anything) in the handling department and has the power to go with it.
I like the Vette, but if I were going to buy one it would be the Z06. That's more $ right now than I want to spend on ANY car.

I dont mind the 370Z's power at all....Its the cost to power factor thats making me consider other options especially something like a mid 40's Z06...I couldnt possibly pass a chance at that up.
You may not have to wait very long for a mid-40's C6 Z06. You can find them in them in the 50's now, and with GM's instability, they'll drop another 10K by next summer. People aren't lining up to spend big money on toys right now....most people have more important things to worry about these days. Cars are only worth what people will pay for them and at some point, dealers will be forced to take whatever they can get. Be patient.
I WANT the 370 but if that 45k Z06 comes around anytime soon Im switching Z's.

Oh Im as patient as they come I WANT the 370 but if that 45k Z06 comes around anytime soon Im switching Z's.

I WANT the 370 but if that 45k Z06 comes around anytime soon Im switching Z's.Like I said though, I will keep my options open, but as of now I am seriously leaning towards the z. Insurance may also play a big role in my decesion. I mean Im not sure if there would be a big dif in price from a z to a vette, but i just hate to pay all kinds of money insurance. Where i live the rates are some of the highest in the country.

Not even the same universe compared to GM....and the profit goes to the Japanese economy. You really show your ignorance. You can be pissed at GM hierarchy, but you're punishing the thousands and thousands of employees that will suffer.
If you like the Japanese car better, then fine...buy whatever you want, but don't make your choice about how righteous you are about the GM bosses. What a phony.

Fair enough. I personally have respect for many different cars, and dont see the point in arguing. On the other hand like you are getting at, why post so many vette threads in a z forum?
