Nissan Z vs Toyota Supra

[bboypuertoroc]

Would most people rather have the C8 over the other two? I'm sure most would, including me, but realistically they aren't comparable.

I wouldn't, simply because I can't get it with a manual trans. I love the car, but I love rowing gears more.

I'm probably gonna get put on blast here, but I think the Supra wears yellow better than the Z. Fits the outrageous body lines better IMO.

Mutton dressed up as lamb ?

That's the best way to put it - the A90 has such exaggerated lines that yellow seems to naturally suit it well. I'd like to see the Z in an orange, that might work well...

That seems to be at least an exaggeration - from what I'm seeing, the average age of a Corvette buyer during the middle C7 era was 59.

That's a dip vs the average age of a C6 buyer was 66, Average age for C5 was 59 as well.

C5: 59
C6: 66
C7: 59
C8: 53 (so far)

Younger dudes are buying them off the lot, the customer base is also veering from the New Balance with Jorts and Oakley crowd - lots more diversity among Corvette owners and, they actually take the targa tops off lol

GM just needs to keep building cars people actually want.

I personally didn't care about a Corvette let alone anything American until that C7 hit, they did right with that car (and the 6th Gen Camaro)

Tons of 370Z guys went C7 (here in Houston at least) and never looked back

Demographically speaking, being a 2 seater means these cars are mostly going to be owned by either end of the age spectrum.
I haven't had a 2 seater in 20+ years, but now that my son is older, I can consider one again.

Obviously, with Corvettes typically being more expensive, they end up with the older folks, and the Z's get clapped out by the kids.

I highly doubt that the C8 is going to dominate the parenting age market.....

Very well said, it's been 5 years for me......a long, painful, excruciatingly arduous 5 years (I really love my Wife and Daughter obviously ?)

C8 and Parenting Age: There's a guy in an Orange C8 that drops his kid off at school?

Wealthy enough to afford multiple, and likely expensive, vehicles.

Midlife crisis setting in, just get it done, man! Buy once, cry once! No gold chain in that C8 though, please....

Hey now! Mullets and Z's go together too!
