To be honest, most likely not. It's the power that's really got me hardcore into wanting to sell. I want to shift! That's the reason I even consider parting with it (because I really love it, and it's my first new car). I guess I got the young "I want it now" syndrome. Granted, I'm 22 so whatever.

The whole point is, if I'm going manual for about the same price, I may as well pick up a car with more power that I've loved since I was younger (Z's were always my thing). The looks and idea of the FR-S/BRZ sold me on it in the first place.

It was my first RWD car, so the lower power was probably a good idea. But now it's time to step up a little bit. In my defense, the payment is also a factor. I'll actually have a down payment on the 370z, unlike buying the BRZ with only $1800 down and still having a near $500/month payment. My target is ~350/month and I'll put down whatever it takes to get that on a Sport 2010+ Z.

You will love it! Good luck!

Welcome!

Some words of advice - Stepping into a 370Z will be like a rite of passage into car-manhood. You can't go around acting all crazy and $hit because your Z is so bad arse. This type of behavior makes us all look bad. You also have to learn to deal with the droves of super models throwing themselves at you on a daily basis. Most of the members here can offer up advice on how they cope with this one. Finally, wait a year or three before trying to go FI on your new Z as its power will surprise and sometimes scare even the most experienced drivers.
Best of luck!
