If you had to do it over again, would you still buy the 370z??

HI!!! Had a great day with the car. Reinforced the answer here to buy again if needed. Just didnt like cleaning all the bugs off after washing this morning! Oh the price we pay for fun

You will miss the power and torque of the R/T Challenger, but you will get much better handling and more exclusivity, You may miss the bigger trunk space and having the ability to have extra people, a dog, or trips to home depot to get stuff. Its tradeoffs, I had a modded Nismo and missed those things, so I got a used V. Given extra garage space I would have kept the Nismo for solo weekend backroad romps.

Yes !!!

JARblue · 05-18-2013, 09:12 AM

Yup!

If I had to do it all over I'd still get the Z. Great little car. My next car will probably not be a Z but that's only because I don't buy the same model car twice in a row (unless it's classic Mustangs).

Jasonle · 05-18-2013, 09:25 AM

yes sir!

ElVee · 05-18-2013, 09:49 AM

I've only had mine a month, but the answer would be yes! Given another chance, I might look closer at the roadster, but probably not.

NickTurnon · 05-18-2013, 09:54 AM

Your posting on "The370z.com" ....We are all gunna tell you to get a Z.

Anyways, coming from a charger r/t to a 370z, I felt the lack of a few things that I loved about the charger.

I loved it dropped from an 8cyl to a 4cyl and saved me gas. I got about 26mpg hwy in the r/t and I get about 28-30 in the Z hwy miles.

I loved the seats in my charger. Blackleather & suede. I also loved how big it was.

The Z will smoke the charger all day long. It will also drive better and handle better.

Its also around the same price. Pick up a used '11-12 370z with 20k miles on it for 20-23k and be done with it.

Use the rest of the money for mods.

.

Anyone else do a double take on this? Where did Nick get a 4 cyl Z from?!?!?

But yes, I would in a heart beat. Actually I almost got t-boned the other night and first thing I thought about was what color would I get the Z in this 2nd time around? lol. I LOVE my PW but so hard to keep clean. But I would probaly go PW again and I would probably try to stay in a 2012 or older just because the new front DRL's still havent impressed me.

I think he's talking about his challenger. I think the engine shuts off cylinders when it doesn't need it.

That's the way I read it. But looking at the comment again, I suppose it could go either way. If I cared enough, I'd Google it.

My Z makes me tingly in the frontal groin region. It also has a pucker factor that is proportional to the boost its making.

Yes, I would buy another.

axmea? · 05-18-2013, 10:36 AM

I would get a 370 vert the 2nd time around and dress it up nicely as well. Low slung, make it loud, wide wheels, and in either PG or black all the way around. In far far 2nd is a Z4 M vert.

Fountainhead · 05-18-2013, 10:39 AM

I would get another one without hesitation.
It's a very enjoyable, moddable car.
I raise the hood every weekend and just stare at the engine, admiring it's lovely lines and compactness.
Fun to drive, fun to mod, sexy to look at too.
Win win win.

Now I want a red one, didn't get a black one I've had a black car already it's lots of work.
