Default New Z guy

Hey guys, new Z owner here! For over a month I've been researching what I've been wanting. The price and performance range have always led me to the new Camaro and the 370Z.

I finally got out and tested the Nismo (my first choice) then a sport packaged 2009 black 370Z (used with only 2500 miles, thats right twenty five hundred!).

My "butt dyno" could barely tell the difference between the two in HP. The suspension was noticeably different in the Nismo but for an $8,000+ difference in sticker price it just isn't justifiable.

When I get back from sea I'll be looking to install a Stillen exhaust and an intake setup. Not sure which intakes have been proven to be the most effective but I'll do my research and find some good choices.

One person I'd like to thank for his plethora of information is AK370Z. Thanks man, you helped me make a solid and informed decision.

Living in Wa. St. doesn't provide many opportunities during monsoon season for pictures. I just dried her off in the garage. I'll wax her *** a bit and try to get some decent snap shots tomorrow.

I think I'll name her マリリン (Marilyn)

Haha, A$$ is censored? How do I change this? I looked in the options and couldn't find it. I'm a big enough boy I think I can handle colorful text.

Welcome! And enjoy!

If you don't have photoshop or some editing software you can always use Flickr. It gives you several options for image sizes to share once you've uploaded. I use it all the time for craigslist stuff. Here ya go.

Nice ride.
