New 370Z

Red-Hat · 08-04-2020, 03:41 AM

New owner here of a brand new 370Z in Shiro White, quite possibly one of the last 2020 builds available in Australia. I came from an 86 which I owned for several years and which was fun, but it was time to move on and fulfill a long time desire to own a Z car since I've always admired them.

Absolutely loving the Z so far, especially the styling, comfort, refinement, and power. Sure, it's a 'new old car' and that suits me - it has everything I want and need in a sportscar (looks, decent NA engine, JDM build quality) and nothing I don't (turbos, active safety nannies, iPads stuck on the dashboard etc).

No mods yet, but planning on keeping it fairly simple since the car has its full 5 year warranty. First major mod will likely be MCA coilovers just to close that wheel gap, then maybe rims, and then we will see if I can resist the temptation to tinker with the powertrain!

welcome and enjoy the new ride, remember the Z likes to run for it was born for it

Welcome. Those are the reasons I bought a new Z.

Hmm, just realised my attempt at a first pic didn't work. Oh well, here is how she looked on a very long road trip recently.
