I was around 15 during breakin, according to the computer.

I've averaged 19.7 over the last two years, and I have a lead foot.

+1....... WOW......not good at all. Are you in a lot of bumper to bumper traffic (rush hr traffic)? How fast do you drive? I have about 300 miles (maybe more) on my Nismo & I saw 21.1, but I am getting 20.4-20.9. I have not went to 4k rpms (once my dad) & I shift at 3k & avg about 65+- mph on the road. I have not been in rush hr traffic yet.

Among the new car market, I was considering purchasing a 2012 Nismo to replace my 40th... In my opinion, there's not much out there in the price range that rivals the looks/power/interior. An opportunity arose to purchase my dream car as a kid and I jumped on it. So I voted no.

I just read the entire thread and must say I am surprised over 70% currently would stick with the 370Z. I thought more would move on to another but it shows me how a vocal minority can not sway the informed majority. Of the "No it's time for a change" crowd, a few will get 350Z's and others want to wait for the next generation Z.

This question has been on my mind awhile. I will vote now as well. I would replace my 370Z with another.

I voted 'yes'. I love the Z. However.. if i had the money, I would probably go with the GT-R, but I just cant see myself spending $100k on a car... so, the Z it is!

I want to say I would, but I just don't know. I've driven the 5.0 and liked it, but I don't think I could do one everyday. I might just buy something cheap, bank the money, and wait to see if Nissan puts some turbos on the Z in a couple years.

I know I could just TT a current Z, but being factory boosted makes everything so much easier. If I didn't get another Z it would definitely be something with a turbo under the hood.
