Surprise Z costs

Guard Dad

My Z is a low mileage fun car not a daily driver. Oil changes are a bit expensive. If you buy OEM spec Bridgestone tires, yes, tires will be expensive too. Other quality tires are available for a lot less.

Ultra high performance cars (the Z squeaks into that classification) also depend on premium tires to deliver ultra high performance. Have you priced the tires on a Corvette Grand Sport, Z06 or ZR1? Our tires look cheap by comparison.

Interesting point of reference: The iconic mid eighties flat twelve Ferrari Testarossa Supercar did the 1/4 mile in the mid 13s, just like a 370Z, but it can't hang with the Z in braking or cornering and don't even ask about gas mileage.

The Z is a fantastic performance bargain but it does cost more to operate than a generic car.

2 year bump for this post?

On topic: The CSC is a known problem for the 6MT crowd. Other than that, steering lock is covered under recall, engine oil is no more expensive than any other car. Tires are expensive. How expensive depends on how you drive
