New owner, from WRX to Z

Looks sharp!

Welcome! I like scrolling past the WRX and seeing it morph into the Z. Nice sort of in-line upgrade for ya!

You could always try it in the snow, but I'm with you. Even if it handles fine, it's the salt and junk that will age the car that I don't want.

I'm thinking about getting the stillen intakes and some ssr type f wheels, but I don't want to go too crazy. Thanks for all the replies! I'm looking forward to finding some local Z meets!

Even though the car was really quick, it didn't feel like a sportscar, and it definitely doesn't look as good as the Z. I don't have the Z broken in yet, but from what I can tell it accelerates quicker than my WRX, and completely out-handles the Subaru. Overall, I'm extremely happy and the Z definitely feels like a true sportscar. I don't have any mods yet, but my Ark exhaust is supposed to be here in a couple days and I can't wait to hear the sound of the VQ! Here's some pics:

Here it is at the Fast and Furious premiere ha!

Hi Dsouth nice to meet you. I'm also a new member of the forum.

Welcome. Too bad you had to get rid of the WRX. Should have kept them both! I just got a brand new '13 WRX for the winter and DD, since the Z is a weekender. There's really no local meets in cleveland, except for Cars and Coffee the 1st and 3rd sat of the month. But with more people from cleveland area it seems, maybe we can get something going.

I had come from an 05 sti, to an 04 touring 350z 6-speed.
Loved the looks over the subaru, but i missed the brembos and awd (bad run in with guard rail

). So i played it safe a while in a fx35, untill a month ago when i got a 2013 370 6-speed with sports pkg. Finaly a 'z' that handles and looks great!!!

yeah i love my '11 WRX. base model, absolutely ****-tastic radio, sounds like a tin can after a bump...and still makes me grin like an idiot when i drive it around.

although i need to figure out how i managed to crack my windshield washer fluid tank. that was really weird, nothing else looks damaged but i have no washer fluid
