14 370z Sportech

kynseon · 11-24-2014, 11:09 AM

Hello, Ive been following this page for a while now. I previously owned a srt4 and all dodge cars before that. I always loved the 350z and the 370z.. I joined this forum to research about this cars and I see that there is a lot of guides and support from the 370z community.

My first choice for 370z was a 40th but It was somewhat overpriced and the second one was a 13 nismo but it was sold before I could get my hands on it. I saw this 14 Solid Red 6MT with Sport package, navigation, touring, etc.. it had all kinds of OEM upgrades and I decided to buy. 7year guarantee and lifetime oil changes and tire rotations.

I never drove a 370z before and when I did all my expectations were better than what I thought. The car feels like heaven. Also its taking me a little to get used to the clutch. I drove clutch before for almost 7 years but nothing as touchy as this. I stalled maybe 3 times and each time I cried a little. But its getting better. Any advice is welcome.

Congrats man!

From a former SRT-4 owner as well. I owned one for the past 7 years and finally traded it in on my 2012 Z.

I've driven nothing but manuals myself and the clutch on the Z does take some time getting used to. Keep at it and it'll soon by like any other car.
