It was either a Camaro, Infiniti G, or Z, guess which one I went with??

nmjaxx9 · 07-28-2011, 09:06 AM

OF COURSE THE Z!!

So after having my Z for a little less than a week now I finally realized I made the best decsion!!

Before buying my Z I was also thinking of the Camaro, and Inifniti G37 coupe, however, the Camaros interior was a turn off for me, and the G seemed like a more luxurious version of the Z, but was lacking the extra lil sumthin the Z had

even though there was lil hesitation before now I have no regrets whatsoever about getting my Z and im loving everything about it!!!

anyone feel the same way? and if so any cars you were comparing or thinking of getting when purchasing your Z?

beautiful car and wise choice my friend.

Welcome.

Nice choice!!

I test drove the camaro, evo, sti, g37, genesis coupe (bc the saleman told me i couldnt afford the z

) some pickups, wrangler. The Z just had something to it. it was small, light, had a lot going on on the inside. just the right type of car for me!

newyen27 · 07-28-2011, 09:41 AM

Congrats!! For me it was between the Z, sti wagon, and g37. I was very close to getting the sti since it was more practical and I have to deal with New England winters. However, I couldn't stop thinking about how I felt the first time I saw a 370z. My heart still skips a beat every time I see my car.. it's amazing.

Besides.. being 22 years old is the best time to be impractical isn't it?

Ardent_Z · 07-28-2011, 09:35 AM

Good Choice! I also drove a Camaro, 5.0 Mustang, 'Vette, RX-8, Audi TT before deciding on my Z. I agree on the Camaro's interior.. yuck..

Red__Zed · 07-28-2011, 09:41 AM

Congrats on getting the ugliest color!

Congrats! For me it was thinking about the M3, and CTS-V. M3 has way too many glitches and problems associated with it, and the CTS-V isn't enough of a sports car although it is a real beast. Also, if I went with the M3 or CTS-V, I would have had to get them slightly used. Instead, I placed a full custom order for a brand new Z (fully loaded).

Yeah the only reason I even decided to test drive the camaro was its exterior and everytime I would research the Z online those stupid adds that said "Are you thinking of a 370Z, well why not test drive the Camaro" so I was like ehh wat do I have to lose might as well try it.

Good choice! Plus should I mention that the parts and servicing for M3's dont come cheap.

Huh?? You must be talking about an 03-04 E46 SMG M3 and the first gen CTS-V.. E90/92/93 DCT/6MT M3's are solid... The CTS-V Sedan/Coupe/Wagon are on a completely different level, 556hp stock, it's closest competitors are ///M, AMG, RS - All monsters! saying the new CTS-V isnt enough of a sports car is hilarious!!

OP,

Great choice from the options you had! I just purchased my Z as well and cant get enough of the Synchro-Rev!!

Ya eh, what makes the CTS-V a sports car...........it's 4 seats, high amounts of noise reduction, comfortable suspension, massive curb weight? Sounds like a luxury coupe to me. Its not at all "raw". Ya its powerful, and that power was hard to pass up on, but at the end of the day, is it really more fun to drive than the Z......a true sports car?

Oh and as far as the M3 goes, I have a friend that had a 2010.....he had so many computer clitches that he spent more time waiting in the shop for his car than driving it! And check out the forums/reviews......lots of problems, and high maintenance costs. I'm not saying its not beautiful car, but I speak the truth.......not the car for me.

No, its def not more fun then driving a Z thats for sure,

BUT, its a sports car for the family man or woman. Not everyone can make the tradeoff for a 2 seater when they have family in mind. So the cts-v is the family mans sport car which is more practical for people who are trying to raise a family as well enjoy a sporty feel.
