Hey, I'm 25 and mature. Except for in the premium section, of course. :)

Rep given, a well thought out post. I didn't go through all the posts like you did, but I was getting the same vibe, I'm 24 and my bestfriends very similar in nature to this guy always going on about his Honda Civic Si like there's nothing else in the world that can match it with his FI Turbo kit that he had installed and a good tune.
Although in his defense he did get printed/pictured/featured in a magazine for his car apparently it's the top speed a Civic Si can do with what he has. I only fear he's going to blow his engine to kingdom-come as he has all stock engine parts on it and I don't think it's meant to handle that much power/torque. Any who, great post, good points and a little pot stirring isn't all bad, as long as it's not trolling. :tiphat: |
Thanks for all of the replies. I am difidently going to test drive one. I am not really concerned about how fast it will go around the track because I will probably never track it. I am most concerned with any known problems that the 370Z might have.
Does the 370Z take any special oil. My M only drank 10W 60 and it was $12 a quart. The early model 350Z had tranny and clutch problems. I know because I had 2 of them replaced under warranty. Does the 370Z have any of those problems? |
(m4a1 - there is something weird on the hood of your late Z!)
I've had the Z for 4 months now, and I grow more impressed by it as I get comfortable with it. It's fast, nimble, reasonably comfortable. I've never driven an M3, but hear only great things from owners (until the warranty runs out and repairs set in). |

A base Corvette costs about as much as a 370 Touring with Sport Package and will dramatically outperform the 370 in most areas. Even a 2010 Grand Sport can be had for about $50K. |
2011 Chevy Corvette Coupe 1LT MSRP $48,950 6.2L V8
? $10,000 more is not costs about??? NISMO is still cheaper by about 8 Grand........... plus lets just say you got 3.0 APR for 5 yrs would be $11,500 not included taxes and tags.....plus insurance will be just a tad bit more....just my 2centz I would use the $11,000 and buy a Daily Driver or just MOD the S*** outta the Z |
I have 0% financing on a 2010 for 72 months. A touring Z with Sport package is over 40K and the insurance for the Vette is 7 more dollars a year than my 350 was...just my two cents ..also paid 44K, not 48.
Maintenance costs however are higher. |
I've had my Z for about 9 months now and love it. It's a great car and fun to drive. From all the posts that I've read over the past 9 months, some of the problems that have popped up more than once are:
1. Grinding of the gear when going into 5th. 2. Oil consumption of the engine. 3. ECU whine and stuck hatch on '09 models. 4. High oil temps on spirited runs and tracks. 5. Soft paint attracting chips. 6. The clutch slave cylinder breaking. 7. Cars crashing from VDC being off. I think those were the biggest issues. The problems that I have experienced on my own car are the rock chips (which you can get a clear bra to protect it for about $800), my hatch rattling, and Nissan taking 8 1/2 months to refund me $4200 for the extended warranty and maintenance program cancellation. I hope you end up buying the Z! Even you too, ImportConvert!!! Hurry up and make the jump, so that I don't have to hear anymore WS6 stories. |
Mine has 19,700 Miles so far.......No major issues-
1) Rear Hatch sticks, FIXED just adjusted rubber bushings with a lil twist 2) IPOD Interface cable, FIXED had to buy a new one, guess the old was defective 3) No Oil Temp issues, mine stays around the normal 180-210, on very HOT Days when temps are above 100F then its gotten up to 220-230 but no drop in performance 4) Being a HWY driven car......paint is soft, but nothin a Bra can't fix 5) Zero Transmission issues and or ECU issues Overall great performance and style, SHIFT_the way you move Just waiting on MRworks Vented Fenders and Craft Square TC-F Mirrors :) |
