I tell people that the 370Z is the equivalent to an Asian Porsche 944, if you like what they were doing with that model then the Nissan is a modern rendition of this type of sports car. I give Nissan credit for what I feel is a better exterior and interior execution and base price with less maintainence requirements. The only trade off is a beefier over engineered layout

Yikes, hips and collar bones I'd really like to avoid breaking in the future. Rc is such a sick bike.

Me too. I also get the “nice Porsche” comment more frequently than I would expect. I usually just roll with it. To my mind the Z is the best sports car value. I’ve owned a ‘78 280, ‘06 350 and ‘18 370.

I had a hip replaced at the age of 47. So I have to take care of it. I quit doing trackdays with a bike at the age of 54.

I still ride. Have a VFR. And I still do trackdays in my Z. I've had my hip replacement for over 15 years now. And it's still good. I don't want to go through replacing it again.

Ha, I'm 48 and ride a big old fat Suzuki Boulevard C90. I love that tank.
