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

OF COURSE THE Z!! :tup:

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

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!!! :happydance:

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

:tiphat:
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 :gtfo2:) 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! :driving:

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..

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. :icon17:

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

Congrats on getting the ugliest color!:ugh2:




:bowrofl:

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).

:tiphat:

U should of told the salesman to suck a **** :icon17:, yeah and i liked that its compact and quick and its just loads of fun on the freeway :tup:

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. :icon17:

I completely understand I get that feeling to when I open my garage door and I jus see it sitting there beautifully. It makes me know I made the right choice! and yeah Im in CT so the winter is gonna be a bit! But o well ima slap sum winter tires on there and hope for the best. and Im right there with ya 20 years and my first Z going strong man!

:icon18:

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

whats that around the edges of your fenders? looks weird...

chrome trim

:shakes head:

Nice color, I love the Red and Black Cherry in the Z.
After so many test drives of multiple cars, a sports car is not about running 12s in the Qtr Mile but the feel of the thing. Very few cars in the price have the solid planted feel of the Z.

yes, very true i took it on a long drive the other day on a road and even at excess speeds it takes corners like a charm. It also feels like its magnetized to the ground, even at acceleration. and actually there was a dealer who wanted to sell his base black cherry to me, but for some reason the color looked bland, so i went with red, white would have probably been my next choice.

All you need is a set of Dark Wheels and tint

Welcome to the Z forum! You made a great choice just a nice set of wheels, tint, and a drop makes this car the perfect car. I'm not sure the chrome trim is the best touch for a 370Z but if you like it that's all that matters.

yup yup working on that

Yeah, im not a big fan of it as well, but it looks good when stock, and the chrome trim did come with the car i didnt add it on, i guess something they added for 2011 models im guessing, but the look im going for which is wat fastv said, dark wheels and tint, means that i need to get that removed since it will not match at all. but i appreciate the positive input! :tiphat:

Yeah good call with the chrome trim, that stuff needs to go ASAP. Not sure what they were thinking with that.

I would also look into a clear bra for at least the front bumper, so you keep that paint free of rock chips.

excellent choice...before buying my "ZZZweetheart" I considered getting a BMW 335is, G37s and even a used porsche 911. Thank God I chose the Z. No regrets!!!!

I was between the Camaro challenger, and the Z when I went to the Chicago auto show and sat myself inside the Z I couldn't think of anything else that day. My cousin kept walking to see other cars I stood there for hours love the car couldn't ask for anything else awesome choice=)) congrats

a clear bra eh? where would I get one of those?
as for the chrome trim was checking it out today and in person it does give a distinctive look, however, when it is time for it to go I know that it shouldnt be much of a problem because it peels right off, its just I have to do it carefully so that I dont rip off paint with it.

Niceeee

Thanks! Yeah the Z has something special about it, I dont know if its the feel, the name, the drive, the look, or all the above. I think all of the above :tup: Anyways good choice enjoy your Z!

congrats man, and just fyi that chrome trim on yours doesnt come with the Z, sounds like something the dealer added on to make the car more "attractive" hehe. In any case though good choice, i know im anxiously awaiting the delivery of mine within the next 2 weeks :D

Really? well i learn something new everyday! thanks for the info, and wat kinda Z r u getting??

2011 Monterey Blue MT with sport package, can't wait i'm so excited lol

Wow very nice! I remmeber how it was waiting for my Z to be ready at the dealership, of course I only had to wait 4 days after I saw it, where as you have a lil bit longer but Just hang in there, 2 weeks will be here in no timee!!

lol, thanks man. yeah i have a few coworkers that know i am getting it and they ask me every now and then how long before it arrives just to torture me i think. i have been trying to conceal the fact lately that i am super excited on the inside and so far it has been working as they havent asked me in a few days now hehe

shiiiit torture u? I would rub it in their face...:icon17:

oh there will be plnety of that when i drive up in it at work believe me lol....not really though as i like to just say nothing and let them sit there and see the look on their faces :D

Yeah the looks and body language will be priceless ;)

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!! :tup:

:iagree: and thanks! enjoy ur Z as well! 40th anniversary= awesome! :tup:

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, :tup: 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.

I agree with Elvis. The Z34 doesn't need much to look really great. Feel free to contact me with any questions about the car or mods. On that chrome trim, that's easy to remove. They actually sell that stuff at Autozone btw.

Hey sent u a PM!!

Congrats! For me, it was G37S, 335 coupe, Evo X, and 370z. Ultimately, I realized that being a college student, I don't need to/like to give people rides (especially in those 4 seater coupes, people kick the front seats to get to the back..). I also loved the feel and the instrument gauges of the Z.

Bro that is so true!! That's one of my main reasons for getting a 2 seater instead of my G37. My roommates always need rides and I always have to get out and let them in, and they scrape the hell out of the runners and stuff. Pain in the A$$!!!! Now, I don't even need an excuse to avoid driving people places lol....just me and my girl

:rofl2: yup the two seats def come in handy when u need it to!

I always offer to drive, but people are like nah it's cool, you only got 2 seats. LOL:tup:

Thanks, and yeah im a college student as well, and other than my really close friends I dont let anyone ride in it with me, other ppl just dont have the respect for your car, especially if its a nice one. they intentionally make a mess. I had a couple of those kinda friends, glad that was in the past :rolleyes:
