I use a '10 G37 sedan. Had it since it was new. Obviously a fast sedan but handles poorly. It should never be compared to the Z. I could not get the seating position I like in this car so that part is annoying. Feels heavier than the 328I. I would take a G37x sedan over the coupe anytime and tune it. Very reliable but has its own little/minor issues here and there. There's an intermittent cowl noise. All 4 rubber window trims along the door that keeps water from leaking into the interior of the door shell has melted ($80 a pc). Diff bushing needs to be replaced (same thing happened to My Z). Brakes could be better too.

Stock Avalons aren't 280 HP...I think they were rated at 268 or something. All 3.5 Toyota engines in 2015 were either 266 (Sienna) or 268 (Camry, Avalon, Highlander, etc) unless you modified it (why?) then disregard

Gentlemen,

My daily driver is a 2012 Subaru OutBack Wagon, and my Bride's is a 2011 Lexus ES350.

How do they compare to the 370Z? They all have 4 wheels, a hood and a trunk. And that's about it! Oh, yah! One of them puts a smile on my face that approaches being illegal in all jurisdictions.

The day after posting this, I was wiped out by a hit-and-run driver who blew through a stop sign in my residential neighborhood.

My bike was totaled and I'm in the hospital with a shattered hip, shattered right foot, five broken ribs, multiple bruises and contusions.
And I was wearing full protective gear.

The good news is that the idiot's front license plate was ripped off by the impact of him hitting me and now the cops are after him. I haven't heard anything yet but I could hear something in the next day or so.

Happy to be alive, it could've been much much worse.

Doctors tell me I'll be in a wheelchair for about two months

Wow. So sorry to hear that. Get better soon!

Youch, so sorry to read of your misfortune, healing vibes, I hope justice prevails.
Ive been wheelchair bound due to accident myself with multiple broken bones, ORIF's (open reduction internal fixation). While it really sucks, just know, your going to heal, it takes some time, just stay positive, bust your *** with PT and youll be back to normal before you know it.

On another note, my daily has been a Titan crew cab since buying it new in 2007. Before that was a ford crew cab bought new in 2003. Our kids are grown and out of the house so finally...(sweet relaxing exhale), I was able to purchase a new to me PW 6mt sport Z last week, kept the Titan, do way to much truck stuff to not have it, but its not the dd anymore. Loving my new sled!

While I appreciate the condolences,
I think I'm gonna have to call you on incorrect use of an Emoji

This :icon18: doesn't really seem appropriate in this case

Thanks anyways
