Your car may feel like it handles better because it's more dialed into the road. The vette and 370 are much closer than it seems when it comes to the turns.

As for looks it's subjective but I still lean towards the vette even though it's a bit dated.

I think you should definitely buy the corvette. You seem like a corvette kind of person to me.

The Vette has decades of heritage and an aftermarket support that's bigger than the 370Z

I still wouldn't drive one, but that's where personal preference comes into play.

Depends on location I guess, **** there are 3 350z just in my neighborhood. I see about 5 Z's to every one vette around here.

I guess Ill sit back now and read as she tries to makes us all think the 370z is superior to the GTR now...

I've only seen a few 370Z out here versus a ridiculous amount of less gen Vettes. As far as 350Z + 370Z and C5 + C6 Vettes go, I see about the same amount.

Thats crazy cause up here there are a bunch of evo's and a few STI's. As far as this thread goes I would take the vette if it had lower miles. There will always be people who hate on the vette most of the time its BMW/Honda people.

I see more Vettes than Z's here... And even if I see a Z it's always silver or some related shade lol (no offense to those who have silver Z's, they are beautiful!)

My vote is for the Vette too. I just don't care much for the 370z.

Chevy man ... Chevy.
I personally wouldn't sell the 350 but compared to the 370 the vette wins in speed and looks. The 370 still just doesn't do it for me no matter how much I want to like it. I hope I like the z35 whenever that comes out.

I'd go for the 370z, if you are buying the car in the description. The Vette with 55K miles is a killer, that is way too many miles to enjoy it. I'm willing to wage that it has squeaking problems and most likely very loose shifter. If the C6 has a lot lower mileage, I'd take that over a 370z, but I would never drive a C6 as an everyday car. You'll love the throatty sound, but you'll hate it once your in it everyday though I have Vette-mates that drive theirs in the 80K miles+ range, I'd recommend a beater with the C6. I owned a C6 LS3, it is a lot better than 350z, but not by a wide margin because the Nissan has its own personality and its trait. When I'm in 350z, it feels like I'm driving a well-rounded sports car and when I'm in the Vette, I feel like I'm driving a Batman mobile. I've driven 370z when the dealership push me to try it when I paid off my 350z, it is not shockingly fast as my car, but I wouldn't sell my car for one. In the grand scheme of things, the best thing is whatever makes you happy.

I would love to challenge SeckZ to go drive a C6....ONCE.

When you get back in your Z, you're going to wonder why it's so slow(unless you're boosted)

Uhhhhh............I'm sorry, but are those pinstripes?

And looks are subjective. I love my Z but the 370 was a step backwards IMO and the C6 looks amazing!
