Nissan 370Z Forum  

1st time Z buyer?

maybe we should have a sticky thread on what cars people owned before the Z. I find it surprising as well that the 370Z is alot of owners first Z.

Wow, wasn't expecting all the new Z owners. Not sure what that means, that the 370 is catching so many eyes that the 350 didnt.

First Z for me. Glad about the timing. I think the 370Z has re written some general performance targets............How can a stock purchase get any better?

Love mine

This thread continues to surprise me. 350 owners just not in the market for a new car? do us 350 owners just hate the 370? whats the deal?

My first Z. My brother has a 260Z and a 2006 350Z and loves them. I drive a modified Audi A4 1.8TQ which will be my daily driver. I can't wait for my new toy to come in. Delivery in April/May (PG Touring, Sport with 6M, Nav, Illuminated Sills, Mats). Adding Stillen Cat Back, Berk HFC's, and Tint to start off.

I wonder if the title of this poll is drawing all the first time Z owners to post in this thread. Because from just a random look at other threads, there seems to be a ton of folks who list the 350z as their current "drive".

Maybe the 350z owners are either not in a position to upgrade yet or are happy enough with their 350 to stay put for a while.
