Buy Another 370Z?

mts · 08-06-2013, 07:10 AM

I like the Z a lot, but since I have a "bucket list" of sports cars I would like to own before I go I probably won't repeat the Z. Next up on the list is most likely a Corvette.

I'm already breaking it to the wife that I want a Stingray with the Z51 package. The premium that they will have for about a year will make it impossible to buy but this time next year I should have enough money to get one and by then the craziness surrounding the car hopefully will be gone. I impatiently waiting on my MHI kit and it's killing me. I want 2nd gear to pull me around like a 240LB Bull Mastiff would a 10 year old child.

I have had the money for ages to buy anything, but because of my "practical side", I stick with the Z car.

As car and car maker keep getting better it has been hard to not go out and buy the current car of my dreams.

When balanced against the amount of fun I have in the Z vs another better car, it is hard to justify. If I had $50,000 worth of repairs to my Lotus, as my buddy did over an 18 month period, I would be far less enamored with the 370Z.

I am now in the process of spending all my money on an investment, so I do not need to steel myself against every cool car that has been offered over past couple of years.

As much as I would like a new Corvette or 911S, I would likely repurchase a Z.

It is just too good of a deal.
