Was the 370Z the right choice?
 

For as long as I can remember I have always loved fast cars and I have waited a long time to get one. When I was in college I made some poor financial choices and have spent the last 10 years paying for them.

Over the last 3-4 years i have been preparing myself and my finiances to be able to afford a sports car, but which one? I have watch and read countless reviews on cars of all different genres from muscle to sport to tuner and I had finally narrowed it down to two; a C6 Corvette or the 370Z Nismo.

I chose the 370Z and went to my local dealership and told them that I want the 2013 370Z Nismo in Magma Red with the Bose audio package and the custom fit car cover for winter storage. The salesman looked at me kind of funny I think because I knew EXACTLY what I wanted and knew more about the car than he did. I do all the paperwork for the loan and get her ordered (they didnt have one on the lot) so she came in later that week.

I have now had my 370Z Nismo for about a month and the question remains, was the 370Z the right choice? and my answer to that is........

HELL YA IT WAS!

With that being said, my name is Ryan and I am from the Cleveland, OH area.
I am excited to be a Z owner and to talk with fellow enthusiasts.

Welcome and congrats! :tiphat: Nice first post and good choice on color.
This site will cause you to spend lots of money on modding so be warned. :eekdance:

Thanks sparky! I do love the color and I am sure I will end up spending a bunch of money on mods :rofl2:

I have already plasti-dipped all the badges and the door handles which really makes the car look that much more amazing. I think I am going to black out the taillights and have some tint put on which I believe will be the extent of my cosmetic mods (less is more for me).

I want to purchase the Stillen Gen3 intake and the FI exhaust already

lol nice post and kicker at the end! Welcome!

Congrats! Glad you made the RIGHT choice!

Welcome to the club!

Yep. The 370Z is a great car. But so is the Corvette. I'm guessing that if you had gone the other way you'd be posting something very similar on TheC6Vette.com. :)

Wel-come to the club ... :hello:

Welcome Wolfenstein from a fellow Clevelander (East Side). You need to check out the The Cleveland Z Club at Redirecting to CZC.com home page.

You've made the right choice.

FI CBE = Winning!

This made a night and day difference for me in the level of day to day enjoyment I receive when driving my car.

That's a true statement right there.

Congrats & Welcome, don't forget the pics as Magna Red is a hot color :tup:

Woohoot!

That is possible :icon17: but there are a few reasons I didn't choose the Vette. The one most important thing is that I wanted something that you don't see all the time and around here Vettes are a dime a dozen. The other major factor was the fact that GM took the bailout money and wasted tax payers dollars (sorry for the short political rant):tiphat:

I have already looked into that, I was thinking about joining the get-together they have going on (in indiana i think) but have not decided yet.

When I decided to get the Z it was because I wanted something unique
