Sarcasm detector on........


OP, I bet you could find an 07 or 08 c6 with low mileage for the price of a brand new 370Z.

just look at this thing!

C6 all day long now that I know better.
BTW 55K on an 05 is pretty good mileage so I don't know what the others are talking about.
Parts are going to be way cheaper too.

Everything the ^this guy^ said is complete BS. He doesn't need a Second thought because he doesn't have any real thought in the first place.

This "Girl" actually, and from a womans perspective, the 370Z is a better looking car and by far better bang for your buck. 5 year old car vs. 1 year old car... hmm... sounds like someone has an over-inflated ego... probably compensating for an under-inflated something else

The vette gets better gas mileage than the Z. With that said, you won't find many people who think the 370z looks better than a vette.

Not true at all, the Corvette is rated at 15 mpg city and 25 hwy (with hurricane force winds at your back)

The 370's mileage improved on the 350's a bit, 18 city, 26 hwy, i've seen mine do as well as 31mpg from here to Fresno.

and you will find a great many who feel Z cars are easier on the eyes than the played out styling of the Corvette that hasnt changed since the 70s, BORING!

I owned a vette and can honestly say you have no idea what you are talking about. THe LS2 is rated at 18 city and 28 highway. It too is capable of averaging 30 miles to to the gallon. Not too bad for a big ol v8 that can hand the 370 it's ***. You obviously have blinders on (no offense, but the 370 is not very attractive until you dress it up). A better fight for you to pick would be with the 2011 mustang but keep in mind they've done quite well with their new 5.0 as well.

Well i'm going to take the high road and stop the bickering here, however, google is a powerful thing and it claims your information is false

Sounds to me like someone has some 370Z envy, which is unfortunate because most people who own Z cars are proud of its tradition and respect all models. I dont race cars quite frankly, so power to me is no object, i'll leave that to my husband, who by the way, daily drives a 600hp M3, when I want to pick on Corvettes or Mustangs, i'll just drive that And as far as looks are concerned, as a former owner of an 04' enthusiast, while i loved that car more than anything, the new Z outshines it looks wise in every respect. However this is a matter of opinion, and you are entitled to yours. From a mans point of view, you may think this, but myself and all of my girlfriends think the 370 is the bees knees

theres a difference between being proud of a car, and being blind about the competition..

handles like a boat .. lol. you dont have to put down the corvette to 'respect' the 370z. why don't you become a fan of performance cars in general, and what they are capable of, rather then the brand? maybe then you won't feel inclined to make false statements to make your brand preference appear superior?

Holy thread hijack batman! I do appreciate performance cars, however, I know what I like, and looks wise, the Corvette doesnt do it for me, it never has, along with the Camaro and the Mustang, why? because everyone drives one. If i could have any car, i'd be driving an M5, now THAT is performance!!!

Oh really? How about you google "2007 corvette epa" and tell me what you find. Do you actually think before you type?

370 envy, are you serious? It's a nice car and all but I think it's funny you're assuming that I couldn't own one if I wanted to. As for your husbands 600 hp m3, better hope you don't try to pick on a vette that's similarly modded because that could be very embarrassing for you.

You might benefit from doing a little more research on these cars before you make anymore outlandish claims.

See, this I have no problem with. Looks are subjective and if you prefer the looks of the 370z over every other car than more power to you.

Who cares? Without pics etc.. She's (or he's ) just another kayfuNk or 2slow4me1990.

Besides there's no sense arguing with an internet know-it-all.
