Tell your wife to buy parts for the 370Z that way "a part of her is with the car" and get rid of the Honda. Vtec is a thing of the 90's

why do you say vtec is a thing of the 90s. Have you driven a new SI. The vtec in stock form is subtle but with my current mods its like a turbo feeling. she pulls real hard with the right mods

I used to underestimate the power of V-TEC as well, until one of my friend gave me a ride in his S2000! From 6000 to 9000 RPM (VTEC range) = SICK! . But the problem I see is that vtec constantly want you rev your engine higher where VQ has the torque throughout the whole RPM. That was one of the reason I never drove S2000. Going from si, you'll love the whole-RPM-power of the 370Z. You can almost never be in a wrong gear.

+1.

The VQ has a lot of torque on tap at just about every RPM. It's great and was very surprising to me.

This is coming from a guy who used to sport a 12second Mustang!!!

ya i know what you mean. she doesnt come alive until 5800 then she stays in the vtec powerband throughout but when your getting up in the higher gears i just realize she has no torque. kinda like the little engine that thought it could but couldnt. there really is no way to get real torque from a honda. you just have to lose weight but you can only do that so much for a daily driver.

LOL. But its just more sentimental than that to me since it was my first new car and first car I ever modded.

We , at The370Z.com, are car enthusiast people. We respect everyone's car. If you notice, except me, none of the Moderators and Super moderator drive a 370Z. This clearly explains our respect toward all different cars. 90% of the current 370Z owners (when they first signed up here) came from different cars. It ranged from Mitsubishi eclipse to civic to Evo etc.

I came from a Land Rover lol. I had a few civics/tegs/celicas back in high school though.

Why don't you take out a small loan (equal to the trade-in value of your civic), buy a 370Z and give the Civic to your wife.

That way you both get to keep the Honda and all it's sentimental bits AND you get the Z.

The loan will be paid off in no time.



...if that's not the answer, just sell the Honda and move up a gear to the Z.
