Nice! I really like the red Zs. I wish I was patient enough to wait for a cool color :(.

DigitalMan 03-06-2009 10:29 AM

I searched all over the country for a Touring Solid Red with 6spd, sport & Nav

Got lucky because this one was actually listed on Cars.com as and auto.

Only found one other in Statesville NC.

Verrrrry nice DigitalMan - now lets have a comparison of those 2 nice motors, making sure the Z comes out best :rolleyes:

Decent. heh

AK370Z 03-06-2009 08:11 PM

Congrats, Digitalman. Car looks great. Actually, I have yet to see the 370Z look bad in any color! Even the Yellow looks good. Love the splash guards. :tup:

nogoodname 03-06-2009 08:17 PM

the contrast of the red on the silver wheels is just amazing, especially when it's clean like that

LenZToy 03-06-2009 08:18 PM

Wow! Beautiful cars. Congratulations!

LiquidZ 03-07-2009 01:14 AM

Congrats

AK370Z 03-09-2009 08:33 PM

:tup: looks great!

RedlineHR 03-10-2009 08:19 PM

Wow! Please post more red pics....

:drool:

I am so tempted to sell my redline 350 to buy a SR 370 - even at a loss. Seriously, a coulple hundred pics at different views would be awesome :tup:

This is the exact car I want - SR, 6MT/touring/sport/nav. Good taste!

BurntGauge 03-11-2009 05:36 AM

Looks amazing. Your red looks much better than the red one I saw at the dealership yesterday. Did you "enhance" the color levels, Digi Man?

No... but the Sony R1 does tend to make colors pop!

hiz-n-herz if you take a look at my previous rides you know I will take lots of pictures as soon as the weather cooperates. :tup:

I looked at over 50 dealerships all over the country and I only found two... this one and one in NC... if you want the dealer shoot me a PM.

MightyBobo 03-12-2009 01:36 PM

Christ, you're almost as much of a vehicle whore as a guy I used to know. He had to get a dealer license, because he bought and sold so many.

You Bastard! :icon17: Nice cars! I'm jeleous..

I always wanted a Lemans Blue C6 Vette too. Incredible color!

What do you think about the 370 versus the c6 Vette? I drove a friend's 06 Vette a few weeks ago (Magnetic ride suspension) and to me, it just did not feel as solid. I felt a lot of torsional flex in the chassis and it had lots of interior squeaks and rattles. Sure it was fast when you punched it, but it just did not feel as solid as the Nissan Z33, and the z34 is even more solid feeling than the z33. Also it was an auto and had the weird paddle shifters (thumb/finger) I'd like to drive a stick - heck, I'd like to drive a C6 Z06 - seems like the fixed-top body would be much more rigid.

If I get a z34, I'll probably order one and have it delivered with like 10 miles on it.

wow, I just saw your previous rides and man I am amazed. :eek: You have a very good taste. I love the TL type-S. One of my fav family sedan. You had some nice cars. Also, your picture taking/editing skill is great. That's what makes your photographs so entertaining. Two thumbs up :tup:

The C6's are seriously fast but they feel heavy and less agile compared to the Z's. The mistake I made with my 350Z was getting the Auto. Didn't make that mistake this time with the 370... big difference to me. Just adds to the fun, of course it's not a daily driver and traffic is not usually an issue.

In this economy the C6's are more attractive that they used to be... some deals to be had, but I think the 370z is a much better balance of speed and sportiness. The only thing I miss from the Vette is the headsup display... great invention.

Thanks AK!

Photography is my first love, although cars come in pretty close and taking pictures of cars is the ultimate in fun for me. Can't wait for some time off and good weather to get the Z out to some more scenic spots.

MightyBobo 03-20-2009 09:35 AM

Did your C6 have the Z51 package?

LiquidZ 03-20-2009 01:43 PM
