I love the way it looks and performs, but I think I would be a no-go.

Seats are killing me!

Oh yeah definitely. Without a doubt.

Honestly there's still nothing out there with a mixture of style/looks + price + performance that comes even remotely close to the 370z (at least to me).

Before I bought my car I spent months searching and test driving everything.. and not much has changed since that time. People have recently been hyping up the BRZ but.. in my opinion it's much lower class and ugly as sin

370's rule all!

I agree but, you are kinda overworshipping. Lol. I test drove everything up to 50k. The only car I would have chosen over a Z if it would have had a better interior was an EVO. The car with a nice interior that was more realistic was the 135: but I didn't want to deal with BMW unreliability. The camaro was crazy fun to drive but overproduced and too common. Same with the mustang. I'm a big Z and G fan. But if something came along that was a truely better value. Id trade. But for now. There's nothing.

How am I overworshipping? lol I said for the combination of price/value + looks/style + performance.. you can't really name a better car. Then you tried and couldn't do it. So my claims are absolutely justified! Then you even said if something better came along you'd trade but there's nothing. So 370z > all in range

I wouldn't have minded an Evo as an occasional ride.. but the Z is a way more classy but still super sporty daily drive. I can pull up in it and still look professional for work. The Evo looks a little too much boy racer rice for me.

I would probably get a 5.0. Would be nice to have that extra 100 hp and a nice sounding V8

I probably would not, as much as I love my Z, I would find it hard to go through all the mods done once again. I would likely go for a Porsche Panamera next.

If I owned a car long enough and it was totaled I'd probably replace it with something else. I had the Z for 18 months, so I'd have replaced it with something different if it was totaled then. If the Mustang gets whacked... I would probably get a GTR or something German.

There are just too many cars out there for me to try. Can't stick with one for too long.

I agree. However, in my case, when I got married it was a reason to get two new cars a year instead of one. I need to keep them longer, so instead we have 4 cars for two people, so I can still get the fever every year or so. I think I'm on vehicles 32-35 right now.

Did my homework, the Z is still on the top of my list. DD comfort and capability of taking just about anyone on the twisties if you're the better driver.

I do miss the neck snapping power of my 1969 Covette but I think I like having a heater and air conditioner more now. Not to mention 21.1 vs 12 MPG. Had it for over 20 years so it was time to move on to something new anyway. Also, I agree, everyone should own a Vette in thier lifetime.

For a track car in CA, I'd stay with a Smog Exempt vehicle.
