LOL, true true, but it also depends will OP be able to get a test drive first, or he'll just buy one anyway.




BTW, NissanUSA, any particular color or package you are thinking about??

If you are going to mod it eventually, I am wondering do you need to purchase the sports package....

Most likely will get pearl white with touring/sport package. But thats true, do I need the sports package? I mean I am pretty much going to replace everything on it. Only thing I plan on not doing would be putting a body kit on it. Since I already know I wouldn't like the fit/color matching. Does anything come on the sports package that you can't buy something better for it aftermarket wise? Probably won't get Nismo since I am so used to my parents Lexus and Range Rovers that it would be a really tough change going to non leather seats and non heated seats of the Nismo. But all though, I just looked at the local dealerships and I swear all they had were nismos
And I never thought of going to Breaking Dawn, but now I may have too

If you are planning on replacing a lot of the stuff, the biggest thing that you wouldn't have w/o the sport package is the SRM. Also unless you get a new LSD right away, the one that comes in the sport package is better than nothing.

Then I'd suggest you just get a base, eventually, you will put on coil-over, once you lower the car, then you need the camber kit, then you will mod the ECU, then the FI unit, FI means more intake airflow, then you need new exhaust, when you add more horse, then you need more brake power, and more traction thus the tires+wheels. Depends on how many horses you will gain, then you might need performance clutch, plus some mod on the exterior depends on your preference.

hahaa, have fun!!

Could you imagine being 16 with a 370Z right now?

Waiting to meet all the girls being dropped off by their parents in AMC parking lot on opening night of Breaking Dawn!

I thought i was young when i got my 370Z (23)... dam. You can do whatever you want with your money OP,,, but do take these members' posts into consideration. 16 is really young and i know that when i got my car at 16,, it was used as a learning experience. because of those mistakes and experiences, i now know how to treat my Z. However,, since it seems like you got your heart set on getting a 370z ................... PearlWhite FOR THE FTW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! >=] gluck and happy thanksgiving

I am going to get serious in this post for once instead of kidding around.

I dont know what your overall financial situation is but I certainly hope this car is not coming at the expense of a good education. Pardon me for lecturing.. i dont mean to but I have seen from my own family's experience that at a young age people tend to think short term and think the good times with money rolling in will continue forever...

That car will likely be junk in ten years but good education in preparation for tomorrow will last a lifetime...

Thats my grandfatherly lecture for today!

Now THIS is a touchy subject these days. What defines a good college education? With all the socialist, tenured professors making $400k+ to subject todays student to their personal philosophies instead of teaching critical and analytical thinking...todays Universities ARE the reeducation camps hippies used to think the right wing feds were building. Personally, Hillsdale college or Liberty University.
