haha this is dead on, I would def miss the Z when I saw them, as for looks I love the car....

I would replace it with either a lightly used e90 335xi or Audi S4, or possibly a 06-08 STI. I agree completely about the sti not being a "mature" car but in white/black with a nice drop and some nice wheels it can become some what classy....

If I did get rid of it, I would want to graduate to 4 doors and AWD if possible... I have a 97 subary legacy for winter driving but it would be nice to find a certified used vehicle I can drive year round..

In all honestly if I had to make my mind up right now I would be keeping the Z .

I don't know know if I feel all that "mature" in my car...was one of the reasons I wanted to move to something more grown up. Also, call me a sinner, but I really want a fast dual clutch gearbox in my next car. I done rowing for now.

ill take one of those too :icon17:

and ill be single and living out of it... ... a 1700 dollar car payment and about $250 in gas a week.... live would be good though...

Im pretty sure they will be done with the car tomorrow...

I am going to absolutely baby and do EXACTLY what it says in the manual for break in... not that i romped it last time, but I was a little hard on it by 700-800 miles... but a new engine should of been good to go by than. I should set up a go pro hd in my car and record the first 1200 miles just for proof if this were to happen again, lol...

You guys are hilarious. I didn't mean for it to sound like the Z is a very very mature "grown up" car. I was saying compared to the evo's/sti's it is. I had an S4 and it was nice. Just don't get the V8 model get the bi-turbo.

chuckd05 04-05-2011 10:09 PM

cars still at Nissan, i am now sick of this Juke ... the Juke is actually shorter than a 350z , pretty tiny...

not a word from them either, they told me it would be ready this past Friday .... :(

CrownR426 04-06-2011 02:46 PM

RCZ 04-06-2011 03:01 PM

chuckd05 04-06-2011 05:09 PM

SeeyaBud86 04-06-2011 05:29 PM

they test drove it 2.5 miles and it was "fine" for them... i drove .5 miles and the Service Engine soon light started flashing. They called me and said they did "manual" resets and they want to keep it overnight to make sure its good in the morning... I think it was prob the timing being off but they said no at first.. who knows...

hopefully its back tomorrow

Damn dude. Hope they get it worked out.
