TCC’s Bottom Line

With exceptional performance, style, comfort, features, and most of all value, the 2015 Chevy Corvette Stingray is a remarkable sports car.

The 2015 Nissan 370Z continues to offer excellent sports car value and personality.

TCC Likes

Striking exterior design
Great V-8 power and torque
Efficient for its performance level

Good value-for-money proposition
Synchro-Rev manual gearbox
Strong V-6 power

TCC Dislikes

Still a thirsty V-8 sports car around town
Why can't we get a turbo V-6?
Body vents distract from lines

Tight cabin space
Not much cargo space, even for a sports car
Road and tire noise
