I make up reasons to go into the garage just to look at my Z and other reasons just to drive it! I love it and am glad that Nissan is still capable of achieving this kind of value. :tup:

Thank God for that! :tup:

Simply, Why would I keep it if I don't like it? hahaa

And that's why I am here.

Even the people in the forum are the nicest. LOL

I think that's also why some Mustang guys hang around in here too!! LOL

Sad but true.

I think the Z is a great balanced package. It's not the fastest, but it is fast enough. If I ever really wanted to be significantly faster, I can drop a SC or TT into it. Handling and feel is great. The hatch can fit surprisingly more in it than you think. I agree with other posts that the NVH issue isn't too bad stock and is more pronounced from mods which are obviously optional and up to the owner/driver. If you come form a non-performance car, then it will feel rough and loud but not so much that you will never get used to it and it will forever bother you. The pebbles in the wheel wells are the most annoying thing, but dynamat can solve that. The sectret to appreciating the car is to hop itno a normal car every once in a while. Whenever I drive my mom's camry, my gf's civic, or my sister's accord, I realize how much more fun the Z is. Also, it just looks great. I think it looks better than porsches and owning it has skewed my opinion on most cars. Most cars look so dull to me now. I might have some trouble when I need a new car in the future because of this. :icon17:

Also, the more I drive it and the more I learn about it, the more I love it. The Z community (at least this forum) is also one of the best around, filled mostly with mature respectful enthusiasts.

The sensations after being bored to death in an economy car (or something like that) could be great. All of the mechanical movements of both your limbs and the car's drive train.
Life's too short not to drive something fun

Yes, i really enjoy this forum. Always something going on with new topics to talk about.
..kind of like a big playground

And he finally comes to his senses folks :bowrofl:

Perfect screen name for that quote :roflpuke2:

There's only one car (in the reasonable not close to 100k price range) tat I would rather have than my Z and that is a FIed Z. :tup:

There are some strong points and weak points, you'd say the same about a Z06, Cayman, GTR. Weak points are interior noise, but you can always add Dynamat at the expense of 200lb or so, paint is weak. handling is excellent, power just barely enough but driveability/flexibility of the engine is very good, tank range amazing (440miles for me), mileage is very good (24-25mph), luggage space excellent for this type of car, a bicycle will actually fit in the back with minor dissassembly, ride quality is very good - partly due to integrity and stiffness of the chassis, interior quality is excellent and has a high price fit, feel, finish (better than most including Porsche and Vette), all the modern ameneties, priced excellently - a much better value than the Porsche or Vette, which is why I bought one.

One of my favorite things: very high quality, I have 38k miles and not one single fault, squeak or rattle. That is a big deal as dealing with car problems are a real PITA for a busy guy with career, business travel, wife and 3 kids.

I really can't see myself driving any other car...





















except an AMC Pacer.

I say good night to my Z before bedtime. Nuff said :tiphat:

well Ive been DD my Z for over a year now. Snow just kicked in my region so I had to drive a 01 sienna. Missed my Z after just 10 mins of driving a van :P
