Someone should name this section of the forum "370Z Owners, but if you actually own one, you are not welcome here", its apparent there are no TRUE Z car enthusiasts here, just a bunch of children with biased opinions! But hey, what can you expect when an 03-04 Z can be afforded by the grocery bagger at Albertsons?

I say go with the Z!!! Although a C6 with a nice set of HRE's a fat cam and some nice exhaust would be pretty sweet.
i'm just an import guy more myself. I'd rather have the 370 dropped on some Volks or Works and some nice exhaust to hear that amazing tone. Plus the interior quality is like 10x better (just IMO from driving both)
But I do agree with seckz...power for dollar GTO 6.0 beats both the Z and the Vette. In my area you can get 6.0 goats for around 15k now. and to the person that said they are 2 seconds slower than a vette stock??? Are you off your rocker??? They run similar times, with the vette MAYBE being a half second quicker in the straight line. Handling its obviously a different story.
I'm not debating which car is better but both the goat and the c6 can do amazing things with minimal mods. Both can be trapping in the upper 120s-130s with tune, bolt ons, cam, tires and bottle. The goat has a really nice interior also, it doesnt seem to rattle as much as the vette, and has back seats to boot!
At the end of the day though, I will still take a nissan over a GM!!! Z cars FTW
Oh and in for pics of Seckz

As for the rest, the GTO is a nice car but lets' face it, it's not winning any beauty contests anytime soon.
I still say "she" is a man.

i own a 370 and love it. i drove a new corvette a few months ago and unless you get the upgraded suspension the 370 handles way better. sure the corvette has more power but everything isnt about straight line performance anymore

Around, you make valid points. And I'd Def take the vette over the goat...and the styling is meh. But its a solid quality car. I know u can buy beaters n do motor swaps. I was just comparing similar year factory vehicles. The goat is hard to beat for the price.
Most c6s I see run re around 12.8-13.0. N goats I see running what you said. Regardless though I don't think either of us are bickering nearly as much as the rest of the thread. Just friendly debate n difference of opinion.
Speaking of power per dollar that's y I drive a kouki n not a Z car lol.
Oh and if the z06 can do such astonishing things around the ring there is no doubt that the vette chassis can be a handling machine! If I wasn't a blind import fool I too would agree with the majority n say vette for overall performance. But the z is. Newer car n feels a lil nicer. Even if its not quite as elite I'd still pick it...

Dude get tha Vette, that thing looks bad azz!!! Although I will say, Ive been looking at Vettes myself recently, and went to drive an 08 a couple weeks ago, when I got back into my 350 it felt so much better, it was weird, like ahhh back home, nice and relaxed! Even the gas peddle felt more responsive to me in my Z, but then there was alot of traffic when I was test driving so who knows. I did test drive a 370z that same day, it was actually quite comfortable compared to my 350, didnt seem as loud as a stock 350 I thought. If I was to get a 370 I would go with either the bright silver or black, since I currently have daytona blue, kinda want something more conservative so to speak lol. I would say go drive both, get on the gas, see how ya feel then decide. Ya cant go wrong either way, both are bad azz cars!!
