Hello my name is Robert and I am not an alcoholic or drug addict but I am very much into Z cars. On February 8, 2010 was driving home from work @ 45 mph in my second 06 Mag Blk 350Z when a young lady in a Pathfinder decided to violently end my forward progress. Needless to say the car was totaled and I was pretty bummed. Now being faced with the prospect of a new car I looked at a million options but I always kept going back to the car that I have always loved. I have owned now 11 different models of Z's(multiples of a few of course) so the Z is not all new to me. I Looked at a buch of 370s and was pretty determined to get another black one but after I decided to "live a little" I got a Black Cherry Sport...I love the car and look forward to conversing about it on this forum.

Blackcherry is a great color, congrats on the new ride.
Edit: Not seeing any pictures. :(

Pictures updated, sorry

Car looks good, both 350 (before the crash) & 370, and you are in Texas. :D

I am, I live in Carrollton, like to start going to some meets again this summer

There are definitely some good DFW guys on here, and I randomly get up to that area when they have a good meet.

Are you down south? I need to check out the meet boards here.

welcome :hello:

you missed a good meet on March 6th up in Allen. Had a few drive in from Houston, and there were around 10ish 370's there with about 6 of us from the boards.

Love the color btw!

Thank you, where do you post your meets on here?

usually in the texas section of the forum. Texas - Nissan 370Z Forum

Perfect, thanks Caravanshaka

I am in Houston, but to drive to Dallas is only a few hours and is a nice drive.
Houston to Austin can be a little rough currently as they are redoing some of the roads and it is bad.

you mean ALL of the roads? :rofl2:

:tiphat:

Most of them, some are doing and it is nice and quiet in the Z, but many have been stripped or they are working on one lane and the asphalt is falling into the other, WOW talk about loud.

Welcome aboard! Just like Dreamer said...sorry for your loss of the 350 but that Black Cherry looks awesome! :tiphat:

don't mind 2theX...he's our local nutcase :tup:

Congrats & welcome :tiphat:

Blk Cherry is def unique and rare color

Thank you 2theX....lol...every board has one and that is a good thing..

Thank you, it took a little while coming from black but the more I see it in different lights the more I appreciate it.

Beautiful choice, I have to agree! Love the colour! Welcome to the family. :tup:


Do you have the Nav too?

No nav or leather, straight Sport Package...is yours a touring?

All Canadian models are "touring". Our only choices are AT or MT, Nav and Sport Package. We get the fog light too, with the switch built into the light stalk. Basically I ordered it fully loaded then added the lit door sills and the clear bra etc. Should have the Stillen CAI in by April along with the grounding kit and wheel spacers! :driving:

Please let me know how the CAI is? Just put a Nismo shift knob on but I have been looking for a CAI and I want to get the most bang for my buck..

Thats interesting on the Canadian models, I did not know you did not as much of choice as we do..Mine is essentially a base with the entire sport package, lit sills, 19" rays, spoliers and air dams, VDC, rev match, all the bells and whistles just short of the touring..

FYI, I am going with the Gen II CAI (let the flames begin) as I want the engine to SOUND more inspiring... the Gen III has way more power but doesn't sound as good. As this is primarily my wife's car, she doesn't need extra horses! I will probably go Gemini (Invidia) exhaust and ERZ HFC's too which will give a lot of extra HP along with the better sound.

The parts should be here soon, so I will let you know how it goes!

Thanks wheee! Need to have good input before I drop the coin
