Hello all.

I'd been thinking about it, Saturday I took a test drive and by Saturday night I was a new owner. Put 150 miles on yesterday and all I can really say is wow, what fun this car is.

I owned a Mazda RX-2 in the early 70's but it's been all dogs since then so at 56 I decided to finally buy the fast car I've always wanted.

I definitely have a mod list but for right now it's hard to over-state the new car experience that comes with the Z. I’ve raced go-karts for the past 5 years (Tag and World Formula) so I have an idea about exhilaration and fun but really it all pales in comparison to this car!

I’ve watched this forum for a while and have been impressed with the decent nature and helpfulness of the members; it’s one of those forums you can go to for honest answers and suggestions.

Enough for now, I just wanted to introduce myself and my new ride.

Regards,

Bruce

Bruce, congratulations and welcome aboard! The 370Z is quite the sportscar and you'll love it more and more each day you step out of your home and see it sitting there waiting for you to take it for a run. You're right, there are great folks here all willing to share their knowledge and opinions on anything you might have questions about. The search function will also save you time and effort when looking around. Again, welcome!

Welcome and Congrats!

Theres plenty of information here on almost all parts of the Z, quick searches will help you as well as the Diy section on any mods that you may want to attempt.

Bruce,

Welcome to the forum

. It's great to have you on the forum. Your 40th anniversary looks beautiful. You're one of those 1000 lucky owners

.

I love go Karts! I go to my local track where they have these Karts

indoor karts in winter (Mid Atlantic Grand Prix in DE)

Ourdoor (more powerful) Karts at NJMP in spring/summer/fall

Karts are a lot of fun. I am thinking about getting into a Karting league and see how things go from there. Any insider info, tips about pro karting would be GREAT

.

Also, thank you for your kind words about our site. Thanks to our members who helps us keep the site in line and drama free.
