Considering a 370Z Nismo

Tadpole

Make sure you can set your expectation level to a lower horsepower car before you pull the trigger. It took me about a year getting used to my Z coming from a 10 second quarter mile sport bike but now my Z has plenty of power for what I want. If your intentions are just strictly straight line grunt then the Z may not meet your needs. Better yet get the new C7 (no Z06) for about 10k more. Ive been looking at those pretty hard over the last few months.

Well, my thoughts are that a 400ish hp car is the best all around for a dd/er. I want this next car to share dd duty with my other car. I have abandoned GM, as I "was" a GM fanboy ALL my life.

My last Z06, they really made angered me.....that's a whole other story.

I will always like Vette, but I'm moving on. Been there for many years and done that. I want a decent sports car that is not going to break the bank so to speak. I also want a "reliable" sports car. One that will take the occasional heavy foot, but not penalize me by dropping a valve and imploding the engine.

I'm thinking that Nissan builds a very solid car. I have not viewed any threads where guys are losing their engine. Sure, all cars have some issue. I've never seen one that doesn't.

I think if I settle for less power that I gain reliability with the Nissan. Is my thinking flawed?
