opinions on trading my Z

bleufiend · 05-28-2012, 12:07 PM

I did say I respect the evo, I guess really if I have to latch onto something that pushes me away from the evo its that the styling isnt really my flavor. Honestly a year and a half ago when I went for the 370 I was looking at used infiniti G37's as well but the prices they were at then and even now just boggled my mind as to how they could still cost so much being used.

I actually wouldnt mind getting behind the wheel of a BRZ just to give it a go and maybe by the time I pull the trigger in the next year there could be word of a turbo model.

If you can, keep the Z and get a DD.

Its easier for me to get to stuff on the N55 than the N54 and weve just had less problems than the N54.

Also and I know some might find this goofy but I love the sound that the N55 with the single turbo(dont know what Im talking about go you tube it) and for me the N55 seems to have less turbo lag then the N54. If you have an automatic then you wont really feel the lag difference too much but in a manual trans its aggravating as hell. A simple tune or plug and play chip would probably fix it but I havent read up to much on that.

Another point, you cant get a N54 with a DCT trans which is the trans I prefer unless you get a sdrive35 Z4 or a 335is which Im not considering either because the Z4 has no back seat obviously and the 335is is so friggin overpriced that you should just get a M3 and be done with it.

Thanks for the detailed response!

Im considering that route too with a few different options, I cant afford another car payment so itd have to be cheap. Id like to find a unmolested unfuxed with 240sx but those are becoming few and far between very quickly.
