New 370z owner.
 

Hey guys, just traded in my '10 Honda Civic for this gorgeous beast. 09 Chicane yellow 370z base line. It came to me with 11k miles a few days ago and nearing 12k. I regretfully have to admit that it is an automatic. I just can't grasp the concept of shifting gears and clutching. :(

Here's my Z, I named her Stella. :)

Congrats and good luck with your new ride.

Wel-come aboard ... :tiphat:

Looks good, congrats :tup:

Thanks guys! Little did I know the Chicane yellow was discontinued after 2009. It seems to me I've got a pretty special car. :o

Well it's nice to see a new Z on the road that isn't white or black

Yeah definitely. I see white all the time where I live. I did fall in love with a white 350z MT at 15. So I decided that one day I would have something from the Z line and lo and behold.

Very cute...congrats and welcome.

Welcome!! Love the color!!

Auto is actually faster then the stick. and I love that color. DAM!!!!!!!!!!!! You Nissan for making that a 1 model year color.

Is it really? It was always stressed to me that stick is faster than auto due to weight and the way of the engine. It has paddle shifters and I'm still learning how to use them correctly. :o

Gorgeous color! Welcome aboard!

It is a little faster. Some of it is the auto, and some of it is the fact it's geared a little lower since you've got 7 gears.

Take it easy at first. Youve gone from a FWD economy car to a rwd sports car. Things are going to happen differently, and much faster. Find an empty (no light poles or parking blocks either) parking lot the next time it's a little damp and find out what you can and can't recover from.

Hi

Thanks for the advice! It's been raining a lot where I'm at and there is an empty lot next to my house, I'll definitely test it out there!
