Default What made you get a 370z

I wanna know what made people get a 370z. For most people i think it was they owned a 350z and had to get the new Z. For me it was somewhat like that but not really.

I always wanted a 350z but couldnt afford it...i was working in the army reserves and didnt make alot of money. However I was able to put about $6000 into my Cobalt SS Supercharged over 2 years. I even swapped to a bigger supercharger. The day i made my mind up, i got off work and went to the dyno shop to dyno my cobalt after just tuning the new supercharger. Was looking for 300whp or more. I hit 280whp, i was rather pissed off that i put that much money into the car and hit 20whp short of my goal. Went straight him really pissed off, parked the car, grabbed my motorbike gear and jumped on my ZX6R. After flying down the road doing 150kmh i decided to pull into the Nissan dealership. There was a sales guy already outside and he walked over to me, telling me i have a nice bike. I asked if i could take a 370z for a test drive. I was expecting him to say no (im only 23 and usally they dont let young adults my age take a car like that for a test drive) So he came with me and damn...loved it the second i got in it.

We got back to the dealership, i signed the papers and he said they will find out if i was approved...next day i got a call and approved. They also said they would give me $15,000 for my cobalt that i was trading. So that was a bonus. They gave me 3 days to get the cobalt as close to stock as possible, that including switching superchargers, header, downpipe, exhaust, transmission mounts, headlights, engine mount, CAI, cosmetic stuff, meth injection, heat exchanger, gauges and a few other things...alot of work to be done in 3 days but i did it. Gave them the cobalt and I left with my brand new Z.

That was a few months ago...yesterday me and my friend were driving around and i seen a blue cobalt in the show room of a dealership, went in and sure enough it was my old car. I have to say, i do miss that cobalt...i miss the high pitched whine the supercharger made.

So lets hear everyones tales.
