Good for you...I get that mileage in my Z/28 IF I keep my foot out of it...

If I jump on it, it is more like Gallons per Mile....

I don't even have mine yet and I'm ordering stuff for it LOL. A work friend took me for a ride in his 2011 Charger with the 5.7 Hemi and since then I knew it was time for me to get something since I've never owned a car with any sort of performance, it was bikes for me in the speed department. It was down to a 2012 Mustang 5.0, Subaru WRX, Camaro or the Z. The Z always stood out for its own reasons, not the fastest, not the best handling but overall value at doing all things well and its extreme good looks decided it for me. And the fact they are not on every corner. My red 2012 Z with sport package should be here to me this week. If it isn't, then I'll get my deposit back and wait for the 2013's.

I like the feeling/sound of Nissan's V6 as it changes gears. Great torque while making some vibrations . .

Good for you....The Mustangs and the Camaros are a dime a dozen unless you buy a special ZL-1 or Super Snake..I haven't seen a 370Z in my area..

Plenty of 350Z and everything else...I like having something that no one normally drives...Both my Z's are not seen everyday, and i love it..What you may give up in straight line speed, you will gain in looks and Chicks..

Yeah, it's really a treat when I see a 370z on the street cuz you never see them driving around. Especially when it's a cool color like Monterey Blue...

They are very cool...I washed my wife's 350Z the day i bought her the black 370Z , which i also washed...I could feel the difference in the lines...The windows, the roof, the doors, everything is different, and very sexy..

She had to have Black..Great, now I have two black hot rods to keep clean..

I also had a very nice 300Zx with P7 tires a few years before the 350Z...In it's day, it was the sweetest car...i saw many a car in my rear view mirror sideways in the turns trying to keep up...That 300Zx i had set up to handle and brake like a race car.

Now i have the new school 370z and old school Track beast/Pro Touring Z/28..

:iagree:
Yumm!

UNKNOWN_370 06-17-2012 02:25 AM

I would call torque good, not great. But for the power on tap handliing is incredible. To surpass this kind of handling in under 40k, you have to buy cars with considerably less power. And honestly, the Z doesn't fall so short that I would want to go that route.

Cruise at 6000 rpm, you'll achieve that and then some.

Face 06-17-2012 03:49 AM

Two words... Tranny Scream. And no, I'm not talking about the Thailand type.

I just love that sound. It reverberates best on the smoothest of pavement and I'm instantly transported into video game land. Dangerous territory indeed.

People accuse me of "robbing the cradle" when I pick up some chick in her fifties..:happydance:

JohnsZ 06-18-2012 11:58 AM

I owned a Red, 2012 MazdaSpeed3 for 3 months and drove it daily to work. Not one person noticed it. The first day I drove my '09 Chicane Yellow 370Z to work, I got email messages congratuating me. Enough said!

Amuse370z 06-18-2012 12:25 PM

I love the look of the interior orange lights.

I love how the key fob never leaves my pocket.

Those were the ones that were the most different compared to my old cars.

such a rarity this car is. heck its practically a no show ! so when one emerges from the Darkness of its lair , you bet it turns heads. and im pretty sure its a head tuner more so than say... the Vette. The Mustangs exc...sure they may have more power exc. but theres just ALOT of them out there. so when people look at them its like " cool a vette" or " sweet a mustang"

unlike the reactions i get in my Z of " WOW!!!!! that thing looks sharp! very very nice car!!'

Yes indeed.. the coolest colour possible.

The correct answer to the question however is.. I love "everything" about my Z. It's.. too perfect. :excited:

Looks, feel, handling, comfort and here in Europe this is almost an exotic as there just arent many of these around. It gets looks! Its a great car and I know Im lucky to have it!

robones 06-18-2012 04:12 PM

Points for Monterey Blue!! When I saw this color in the show room, I completely fell in love with it. Every color is beautiful on the Z but for me the Monterey Blue gave me chills!!

Car looks great in every color

That's something else I love about it. I know a lot of people who consider Z's ugly, but I think they're just gorgeous.

I see... thanks for clearing that up for me.... :icon17:

I thought they are those 35hp+ stickers..... :bowrofl:

NissanGuy23 06-18-2012 07:02 PM

I love :

-The looks, this SOB has crowds around i can't take it anywhere
-The interior, not only is extremely good to look at, but when you sit in it, as many people say it feels like your sitting in a race car
-The gauges at night...they are some of the best i have ever seen in a car.
-The driving style...low to the ground, short gears, sharp-communicative steering, the acceleration in 1st 2nd and 3rd is awesome
-the high speed stability

Only complaints are Terrible gas mileage, clunky shifting from 1st to 2nd sometimes, not even close to butter smooth. Kind of slower than i thought on the low end torque side with no exhaust note whatsoever, hopefully some bolt ons will give me some more ummphhh and sound.

Hey buddy...get those revs up between 3K and 3.5K going from 1st to 2nd and your shifts WILL be "butter smooth". By the way, how could you not like the stock stereo sound? I think it's awesome! But then again, I thought that Joe Walsh sounded awesome too when I first heard "Rocky Mountain Way" on vinyl on my 1970 compact stereo system.

tonythetiger 06-19-2012 06:31 PM

the power, handling, and the looks on the z, performance on this car is decent for the price

prochobo 06-21-2012 09:45 AM

The thumbs up from other Z owners and even truckers
The uniqueness/rarity of 370s in my area
2 seats so I don't have to give people rides :)
The interior is awesome. Had a friend tell me she felt like she was in a cockpit.
Handling is awesome
Being able to tell if people know their cars. I'm sure we've all got the "hey, nice 350" :facepalm:

Fastfatdude 06-22-2012 10:08 PM

the nice round fat ***...

LiquidCrewZ 06-22-2012 10:19 PM

Lots to say, but I mainly enjoy how I feel when I drive it. I have had some sports cars in my time but nothing as well rounded as the 370z. Looks alone to start.

PlatinumGraph 06-23-2012 12:21 AM

I like that it looks like a sexy, sexy bitch. And that it has a bunch of trunk space once the rear has been stripped.
