Replace the Z

ssmoked · 02-14-2016, 11:17 PM

Replaced my 370z after 4.5 years of great ownership. Had ALOT of fun with it and changed many sets of tires

It was great to be a part of this forum. Everyone is very helpful when another member is in need.

Replaced the Z with this baby. Offer too good to refuse. Preparing for the future with 2 more seats if you get what I'm saying

You parked on the line bro.

Also I like that colour.. reminds me of yummy orange tic tacs.

Still getting to know the technology. What amazes me the most is there are 4 different drive modes with different displays

ssmoked · 02-14-2016, 11:23 PM

Last one

Nice looking car, how does she handle with the weight?

Curious why you changed vehicles?

Love the color, congrats! I made a similar switch last week after having my Z for over 5 years. Didn't have the extra seat requirement though (good luck/congrats on that as well). Would be interested in hearing your comparisons with the Z once you get more familiar with it.

Let's face it, the 370Z is aging and many have moved on. As the op is saying, back seats are needed for future use.

The Lexus RC-F weighs about 650 pounds more but with 135 extra hp v8. Its track tuned to compete with m3/m4, atsv, rs5, c63amg so turning is very planted and minimal roll with the PSS. Someone posted on YouTube with a stock one running 12.4, will confirm that after breaking

The ride is pretty harsh just like the z minus the rattling and add ALOT refinement. The sound of v8 and stock quad exhaust is just pure bliss. Will update the in depth performance after break-in.

The one thing I disliked about the new ride is it only has 1 outlet in the center console. So I feel naked driving without my valentine 1 until I tap it with the mirror

I was originally going to hold off purchasing until I need more seats, but the deal is too too good to let go.

Loooovvveee the color and I'm seeing a lot of these gently used on car gurus.com. a Toyota dealership here got a dark grey one they let me take out and beat up. I think the car is freakishly gorgeous the acceleration is crazy. Very heavy but pulls, sure has a backseat but not at all use able for me as I'm 5'9 and like my seat back. No way people could sit back there with me driving.

In the end I picked up another Z for pretty cheap as they are selling crazy cheap now anyway. Good choice OP I'm sure you will enjoy for many years to come.

Sweet car but I hate the color, LOL
I was just looking at one of these in white with red interior cause I'll be switching cars in a few as well, just feel I need to let it go while its still HOT, low miles and can still get a pretty penny for it. My next 3 choices are:

1:Corvette C7
2:Audi RS5
3:Lexus RC-F

370Z is not aging. It is still young and alive in our mind.
