Hello from a new Z owner...
 
Hello, Everyone!

I'm Tony, and I just bought a 2012 370Z Roadster Touring Sport with Nav and 7AT in Magnetic Black.

I recently lost my beloved '05 Honda S2000, which I enjoyed for the last 8 years, but decided to replace it with something new rather than another S2000.

I've long admired Z cars, ever since the 240Z debuted when I was in high school. I came very close to buying a 350Z when I was first looking for a sports car back in '04, but opted for the S2000 instead. This time around, I decided to satisfy my long-standing desire to own Z.

I just took my first top-down drive in it, and was thoroughly pleased. Here are some pics I took while out.

Cool vert. Lots of good looking verts here btw. I would also take the dealer emblem/decal off.

Thanks for the welcome!

Axmea, it's definitely coming off! Goof off and dental floss.

It has TORQUE! :D

Seriously, it's a more comfortable ride...roomier, even though it's not that much bigger that the S. It's a lot busier in cockpit that the S2K, also. It's faster and has a lot more power than the S. The visibility out the rear window is worse than the S, but I can live with that. I was looking for something different, and I got it. I'm very happy with my purchase :driving:

So, the car was detailed yesterday by Tom Sharp in Canton, GA, and today I had clear bra installed by Derek at Atlanta Protective Films.

Update:
 
I got the Uprev tune by Jon Parham at Z1 Motorsports today. The car put down 311 rwhp and 254 lb ft of torque. My mods are Stillen Gen 3 intake, Berk high flow cats, Stillen exhaust and the Z1 intake plenum mod.
