Welcome. Congrats on teh new ride. I didn't get past the Z. I was going to try a couple of other cars but when I got behind the wheel I had to have it. Can anyone say Impulse Buy.

I had been researching them and had read every test drive review I could find.

Now you'll be day dreaming about your mods. Congrats!

Congratz on the car man looks great. I was/am still in the same boat you are in, except I haven't found the right Z yet. I drove the Genesis 3.8 Track a couple of times and it is a good car, but not as good as the Z, so I think you made the right choice. The Genesis looks good, but Z looks better; drives nice, but Z drives better; turns heads, but Z turns more and so on and so forth. Just all in all it is the better choice and I think you will be happier with it.

I see you are in Ga, so I highly recommend you to go to the Z Nationals!! :tup:

PS: FR-S and BRZ are disappointing for the lack of power, but my buddy turboed his and I'm telling you, you can not floor it in 1st nor 2nd gear, it just has too much power for such a light car lol.

Yeah that car is super light, and I knew I would definitely be able to increase power in it with the immense amount of aftermarket support, but i love to be comfortable while driving and no matter how i fixed the seat in that thing i just did not feel comfortable in it at all :/ ...plus, the one i drove had 12 miles on the dash, 10 series package, fully loaded and the dash trim (the fake carbon looking crap) was already PEELING OFF on one corner. To me, that's extremely unacceptable for a $28,000 car.

The Z is a better car IMO all day every day :)

Leuz and 10MPlayer,

I felt the same way; i test drove the Z first and absolutely fell in love as soon as I got behind the wheel. I did a lot of research also, and I hardly heard any complaints about it; the ones I did hear didn't seem like anything that would bother me (cabin/road noise, lack of space, etc...) ...I knew the drawbacks of a real sports car, and did not care :)

dtul,

I thought the same things you did when comparing the two, except I never even drove the genesis; i sat in one once and that's it. It seems unfair to not give it a chance... but i do not regret my decision at all; i am 110% happy with it :D Good luck on finding the right Z for you man! I'm sure that when you do, you will never look back and smile every time you get in it like i do :)

I wouldn't say that it is unfair; sometimes it is just obvious that something is not for you. Also I think it has become obvious that I won't find a car with the options or color I want on a dealer lot, at least not locally, so I will probably be ordering the car sometime next week.

I'm not much of a mod guy. Too many years I had to work on cars. Now I can pay someone to do it. I honestly see a lot of money spent with little gain as far as performance goes, unless you go FI. I sure as H ell don't want it loud. It would nice if you could turn the loud on or off depending on your mood. My old MGA had vents on the pipes where you could open it up and bypass the muffler. Maybe there's something like that for our cars and I don't know about it.

As for modding just for looks, I guess I like it the way it is. I like the lowered look with the spacers on the wheels but I'm already dragging the front end every time I go in or out of the driveway or over a speed hump. I do think the roadster would look cool with a small tasteful spoiler on the trunk.
