Considering a MB 370Z for the wife

[Evolvedmb]

Hey guys and gals! I've been lurking on the forum the past week
and have been really impressed with the community and format of
the website. I currently do not have a Z, but my wife simply loves
the car and really wants one after we sat in a 2013 Nismo. I have
a moderately modded Evo VIII - 463whp, but I hardly drive it for
various reason. After lurking on this site, I'm really excited to own
a new Z. I think that her car will reenergize my passion for driving
again !! Her car will be a 2014 coupe with the sports package with
the upgraded brake pads and some sway bars. I just wanted to say
hey and will post up some pictures when we take possession of the car.

I would skip on the Nismo pads and sway bars. Just buy those from a vendor and save the coin What color is she thinking?

take up a lot of space and flow on the page to the center of the screen like this line here

Everything will be done at the dealership when we pick it up,
And that will be the only "mods" done to the car. I know how
She is with her stuff, and I want it done day one.. She will
Probably get the 2014 Midnight Blue 7 speed auto because she
Can't drive stick. That's a good thing because I don't want her
Smashing up my ride Nice to meet everyone, and look forward
To contributing to the site. I have some ideas from some other forums I
Visit that I think would be cool on here. i'll Share them with you once
We get the car.

Very happy for you and the price drop should help out on the 2014's as well!

Same way we came to own two 370's, be ready to ditch your EVO and get your own 370.

That's not going to happen anytime soon, because the
modding possibilities are endless on them. I will definitely
enjoy her car though, but will be adding some bigger mods
to get my ride up into the high 500's. AWD is too addicting
if ya know what I mean!!

Ya I had a VR4 back in the day it was fun.

And welcome. Nissan lowered the prices on 2014s from the 2013 so good for you.

Just went on my first test drive in a 2014 sport package. All I can say is, I'm really impressed
with the entire package. I've never been in a Nissan before, but I could feel the "quality" in the Z.
We drove 2014 Z with the sports package. Sadly the car was in black and had a manual
tranny, so she wants to wait until Sept. to make a move on the car.

Here's two quick pics of my weekend warrior from a local car show. Lucky enough to park next
to a 2013 Nismo to get a size and body comparison.

Congrats and welcome OP. With the price drop, why not get 2 Zs, one auto, one standard .

Oh, and aside from the upgraded pads, I would at least get lowering springs and 20/25 mm wheel spacers.
