I have a EXTRA clean Z, its only 1 year old with 6k miles wich I pay 560 a month. To change it for a 2 year old car with 25k DD miles (door dings, scratches, wheel scraches,tires dont match) and pay 700 a month its NOT the right deal. As some of you recommended ill probable get more goodies for my Z and make it faster than a stock is-f.

Dang!

It would have been cool to get a comparison from someone coming from a 370Z. I've looked at few ISF's and they have the HP and the reliability. Not too keen on the slushbox tranny, although in my case its not a big deal as I'm still learning how to drive a stick.

Looks wise, the ISF looks great in black with silver rims. The other colors aren't as hot.

To be truthful, a 2008 M3 is probably a better direction, but even a 2008 M3 with 15 to 20K miles is going for around $45K to $50K, which in my opinion, is a lot for $$$ for a three or four year old car.

Brand new that car was probably 75K though. M3's stripped are not too bad, but you put even decent options in a BMW and you can add 20K to a price-tag FAST. I "built one" on BMW's website and about gagged.
