TCC’s Bottom Line

The 2018 Chevrolet Corvette delivers unmatched performance for the dollar and the features to go with it; the looks are arresting but perhaps too aggressive for some tastes.

The 2018 Nissan 370Z is a confident coupe or roadster with an impressive pedigree and a recognizable shape. It's comparatively aged, but an instant classic for most owners.

TCC Likes

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

Iconic looks
Manual transmission is heroic
Good power-to-weight

TCC Dislikes

Still a thirsty V-8 sports car around town
Why no turbo V-6?
Body vents distract from lines

Two people inside, that’s it
Cramped cargo room
Rough engine noises
