plenty of V8's? under 60? care to name some?
the vette handles about the same as a Z. which is a big price difference. |

here we go again..... the Corvette definately has much better suspension work over the 350Z... your not just paying for looks and straight line performance afterall
(atleast we are in the right thread now)
oh and btw i may be blind, but im assuming thats a Turbo in your avatar?

dude, the Corvette is notorious for its crappy suspension, why do you think the previous Z51 package even existed? because the suspension was crap. It uses leaf springs for god's sake. those are so bad. they are running into the same problems that Ferrari and Lambo ran into 20 years ago. how to make a V8 in a light car handle. |

I dont see how a Z will outhandle it or be equal... the Z's are around the same weight as the new c6, 3100-3200lbs i beleive |

no, thats GM marketing in your head. the thing is the same. Engine is difference and interior has a facelit. ditto for the exterior but the chassis is the same! so will the suspension! |
