Sell your z 😁

If you want my gently used one, its at Culter bay Mercedes. Go forth and take it. Nissan failed to bring forth a z35, and so I have gone 🇮🇹 😃ciao!

All sport and convenience packages. Black, cf, and red leather. I'm currently in Miami and having vodka for breakfast. More pics and lovingly related details upon my return :tup:

Jordo! 12-17-2017 07:56 AM

Love it! ;)

DamnThatZGuy 12-17-2017 08:46 AM

It looks like a little Ferrari!

How does it compare to the 370? Is it a DCT?

JARblue 12-17-2017 09:20 AM

Congrats on the new ride :driving: Looks badass :tup:

One complaint though ... need moar pics!!

P's_Z 12-17-2017 09:53 AM

5 seconds into the test drive I was like, "z?" yes, true DCT.

Imagine the z lost 1000 lbs and could do 0 - 60 in 4 seconds flat or less, and also got much better gas mileage.

Turning when not in motion is going to take a bit of getting used to, and I need to figure out where to put my left elbow. Otherwise it is absolutely incredible and I feel really lucky to have gotten it :tiphat:

I am still getting used to it. More details and pics in a few days :tup:

What about the interior? It looks a bit plain as I look at the pics on google, compared to other modern sports cars at least. I could be wrong, maybe in person it's awesome. Is it way better than the touring with nav 370 interior?

Look at this guy, abandons his Z for and Alfa

and beer for Vodka.

Fancy boy over here just way past us now.


But no lie, if C7 prices look right next summer, I might be out.

Firebase99 12-17-2017 09:21 PM

I hate you. I want one.

There's room in my heart for beer and vodka.

May even be wearing them leather pants now too, or at least maybe “pleather”

:rofl2:

Nice car but costs over £50k in the UK, paid half that for my base 370Z.

Chan Chee Hoe 12-18-2017 05:07 AM

This Car cost US$190,000 in S'pore..

EZT 12-18-2017 06:53 PM

I absolutely love these cars and consider them if I ever depart the Z.

Agree, although never selling my Z, this Alfa is a strong contender for my second sports car, love the black too.

Finally home... more pics, details, and commentary soon (including dynos, ASAP), but in regard to the sparseness of the interior -- it's got red leather seats, carbon fiber everything, and the rest is not-too-flimsy flat black plastic.

It's the interior of a dog-fighter biplane. You cram in, fire it up, point and shoot. All else is irrelevant once you hear the engine rumble. Each gear shift is a violent bark; throttle action yields the shrieking whoosh of a turbo absent of any discernible lag.

This is not a car for people who want creature comforts -- its a bantam weight in-fighter; lean, fast, hits harder than expected. It comes roaring out of the corner on fleet feet, blasting the chin and ribs of opponents with endless breath.

If you love the Z, but thought it too small, buy a 'vette. Mustang, or Camaro. If you love the Z, but wished it had been more nimble without sacrificing any power, this car is for you.

If there's something missing, I couldn't force my brain to see it. You become too hypnotized by it all to think of such things.

The car is, essentially, perfect.

Minor discomforts become meaningless as soon as you get moving. It's a marvel. It's a god damned marvel.

Spoiler 12-18-2017 07:27 PM

Well damn.. you covered it quite eloquently... you even got my excitement up a bit with that titilating commentary..... I guess there’s only one question left... How many cupholders?

Weirdly, 1.5 (pics later) :icon17:

It's got a little leather case (with an old-timey treasure chest-like key for it, no less!) suitable for sunglasses and cell phone between the seats, and I think a pocket of some sort on the back of both seats.

The storage space is limited to a small space in the engine bay (?!) and explicitly limited to like 33 lbs.

It came with a fancy-shmancy red car cover that is made of some fabric nicer than most of my clothes :icon17:

Spoiler 12-18-2017 07:44 PM

I like to joke around a bit (well actually most of the time), but I just went to the Alfa website to look at pictures and specs and that car is ABSOLUTELY STUNNING.

Extremely nice. I want a ride...

xxAGAVExx 12-18-2017 08:22 PM

Sooooooo, how long will this thing stay stock?

Love the car, and considered one, but no stickshift offered.

So............................you going to start speaking Italian now?







Nice ride. :tup:
