You're asking 2 questions... what's a better new car and whats a better 7 year old car between the Z and the 'vette.
New (as of 2010), I'd vote 370Z based on price/performance. 'Vettes are better all 'round, but you pay double for that. The bone stock 370Z's I've seen out at track events are extremely capable cars. And the look is great (I'm even getting used to the lights)
But it looks like you're not looking for new. Older 350Z's can be had for cheap, but after years of owning & daily driving Z32's, they're pretty disappointing to drive. No low end grunt at all on the older VQ motors, strange, dated styling and really, not that fast on the street if that's what you want. Great for a cheap track platform, however.
Older 'vettes? Depends... C5's were actually pretty decent, C6 better, but what are you looking to do with it? Interiors are horrid on either, tho.
Regards,

My Zs are hybrid vehicles, they run on gasoline and money

I was more wondering how you set your climate control to 22* lol, it would be that fastest freezer on wheels! - Briscoe'sZ32 (NJ) 23:15:44 02/05/07
