What Would You Buy (Survey)?

Robert_Nash

Hey everyone!

I need a little advice/opinions and thought this might be one way to get it.

Assumptions:

• Vehicle would not be a daily driver/only vehicle (primary purpose is “FUN”; see more on that below)

On a scale of 1-10 (10 being most important)…

• Outright performance is a “5”
• Comfort and convenience is a “6”
• Vehicle will be fully equipped with all options
• For purposes of this survey, Price is not a consideration
• For purposes of this survey, transmission choice is not a consideration (I like and can happily live with either a 7AT or 6MT)

Please take my “survey” and then post what you think - thanks in advance for your input!!!

Survey(?) This post screams out for a "Poll".

EDIT: Ahhh... there it is!

just get the car that makes more sense to you. my Z is my hobby car and therefore 6MT and base + sports package with no extra crappage onboard, just the way i like it.

Let's PLEASE not turn this into an AT v MT discussion.

I sad it doesn't matter because, for purposes of this poll, it truly doesn't matter since I am equally happy with either.

If you really want to start another bovine scatology argument about how true enthusiasts only drive manuals feel free; just do it in your own thread.

wat i dont get is why you are starting a thread and poll when it already appears like you have a 370z Touring Roaster 7AT.

your sig:
Robert 370Z Touring Roadster 7AT
-My Basset Hound Is Smarter Than Your Honor Student-
ZCON 2010 - Nashville, TN

are you trying to get re-confirmation that you made the right choice? if so only you can determine that. if you're happy with your roaster AT machine why start another poll? hummm...maybe you made a mistake? i dont know.

Jordo!

There's actually a lot of highly enthusiastic "non-enthusiasts" on here then, buddy...

To the OP: Unless you really like 'verts, the coupe is always going to be less of a hassle for a DD (no need to put top up/down, no fear of mechanism failing, cloth ripping, etc.).

Also, cost more, weigh more, and generally more to insure...

Nothing against convertables, mind you...

When it's 101 degrees, 99% humidity, and a cloudless sky at. say, 3PM; my enthusiasm for a convertible wanes a bit. However, in the early morning or at night before/after the heat of the day or on a crisp fall morning or a spring day, it's difficult to match the enjoyment of a drop top!

When you say fun, I think you have to explain what you have in mind. Because there are two ideas of fun in a car, a long drive in the country (i.e. roadtrip), or going to the track and beating the hell out of it. I'm guessing you're a drive in the country type of cat.

I autocross my vehicles (even thought I'm technically not supposed to); however, HPDEs are not an option.

I drive hard but yes, they tend to be road trips and cruise-ins and as often as I can get to the Tail of the Dragon and the Hellbender (NC/TN border)

You can get an idea of how I use my Z's here: Robert's Route 66 Ramblings

Fun is a pretty vague and subjective term. I'd go with the Touring Coupe. In fact, I DID go with it! If you want to call the 40th Anni model that anyway.
