So to make a long story short..... drove to a Nissan Dealer, (without wife) and picked up a 2010 Black 370Z with Sports Package and MT. Wife was not happy, but in California there is no "cooling off" period, hence I am now "stuck" with a Z350 for next 5 years.

I think I am gonna enjoy this......

So which is it? 350 or 370 lol... jk congrats... welcome aboard.

So yesterday, was the first day driving the 370 (after driving Civic Hybrid for 4 years).....

What a rush.... Even though I had to keep it under 4000 RPM for break in, I got to play a little with the car.... (went to 4500 RPM) couple of times.....

The acceleration was FREAKING AMAZING..... I drove on PCH, where the speed limit is 60, in places where driving before in the Civic Hybrid felt fast.... Boy was I in for a surprise... At 60 I felt like I was barely moving.... there was so much left....

The manual was also something I need to get used to again. I drove manual years ago in a Camaro Z28, but had auto trannys for my last 2 cars.... The Nissan Clutch pedal is a bit heavy....

The MPG was also a bit scare (after getting about 40 in the hybrid) ... getting 13MPG... (only 80 miles on the car). Probably due to break in, and very short distances driven thus far.

Car came without floor mats, so I ordered Nismo mats for $80 from the link in the forumz... now driving with stupid paper mats.....

Today taking the Z for a freeway ride... it will be hard keeping it under 4000 RPM......
