It's finally time to sell my beloved 350z. I need everyones opinion on which route I should take. Heres my situation. I have the opportunity to buy a 2009 370z sport with 6k miles for 28k. I also have the opportunity to buy a 2005 Corvette with 55k miles on it for 25K. Knowing that the corvette has way more HP than the 370 this is why I am having a hard time deciding. Both cars are in immaculate condition and have been taken care of very well. All have clean car fax reports and are nearly identical in condition. Please help me decide.

Thanks

 

I'd find a vette with less miles, personally.

drive a 370 and a c6 and decide what you like best. the 370 will not be as powerful, you will have to decide what you like more.

 

Is this simply a toy, daily driver, track toy or some combination of the above? Personally, I like the C6.....a lot.

 

It is going to be a daily driver but I rarely drive that much other than driving 5 hours home sometimes.

 

Tough one....you will just have to see which is most comfortable to you.

 

As others have said, drive both, for as long as you possibly can before they call the cops to make you give it back.

 

I'd go for the newer car. 370 in this case. However, the vette looks awesome, but 55k miles on it? ...not for me.

 

o-man thats a tuffy, I would pick the c6, but its up to you

 

The torque of those vettes are so fun to drive. I would go with the c6 personally.

 

c6, but I would keep looking. I would be inclined to pay a bit more for a lower mileage example.

 

i'd pick the vette, the 370z's exterior looks just don't do it for me. also i don't like the color of the 370z..

 

Had a C6 and it was a lot of fun and comfy on long road trips. I ended up having slave/master cylinder problems though and sold it.

Check the clutch reservoir (given its a stick) and look at the color. If its really dark then stay away. There is no way of effectively changing that fluid without pulling the rear end (the clutch bleeder is in the bell housing) and its very easy to get that stuff dirty. The harder that car is driven the darker that fluid is. My car threw the first master cylinder due to dirty fluid at 7K miles so you get the picture.

 

They are two absolutely different cars, with tow different personalities... honestly (like the others said) you need to go out and drive them both and find which one you like most and will have the most fun driving. Personally i would go with the 370, i love the body and you will have a little more power than you did in the 350, so thatll be nice but that just my opinion.

 

I like the 370Z more overall. Comparing the Z to the Vette however is not apples to apples.

 

c6 all day

 

try something new although I was never impressed with the build quality of the vette

 

Hard to beat the power and a Targa Top man....but the 370Z i believe will be good enough, newer, and get more attention to it. Its a tough choice but in the end I think the Z influence in me would overshadow the rest.

 

370Z. That Vette is going on 6 years old. Yes its an awesome car but theres NO way Im buying a 6 year old Sports car in the same price bracket.

 

a Corvette with 55k miles? no way!

I bet that thing takes corners like a boat too! the 370 wins in the looks department as well, this should be a no brainer, low miles, better looks, not quite as fast but more nimble and synchro rev match to boot? I dont think this deserves a second thought

just look at this thing!

 

That's my main beef with Vettes... They only have straight line power and can't turn for sh*t.
