im kinda sad there is not a blue one within 500 miles of me :/

Did they change something in the back? What is this guy talking about. I thought it was the same.

That looks pretty nice with the red calipers, those wheels are kind of brutal though. Only thing else different is some led's and no fangs.. It' virtually the same car as a new 2012 Z would feel.

Congrats though

Just sold my 2009z for the 2013 and WOW what a difference

rhood, Congrats on the car and welcome to the 13 Club!!!

Care to go into the differences between the 09 & 13?

rhood · 09-15-2012, 08:25 AM

Absolutely, the 2009 was/is a GREAT car,but the 2013 is so much more refined. The road noise is MUCH improved, the car seems to be more tight and better handling. But over all improvements is the Navigation and technology package. The screen has a better resolution and when used for the DVD ,WOW! Very happy with the trade.

Can you elaborate on more tight and much improved? Lakeshow claims looser steering and softer suspension... What do you mean by tight? Road noise I expected to be much improved. What is the curb weight of a 2013? Did they add more sound deadening? I've never really had to much issue with road noise. It's something nissans are usually plagued with so im used to it.
How about stock exhaust note. Is it still the same? Our stock exhaust really sucks. i'm not a techy im an audiophile, so nav wouldnt be my option.

LOL Thanks Rock!! I think I have seen you on the streets. You and I are the only two for now with the 2013. And how funny both Pearl.

That's funny. What color was your '09?

I don't see too many 370Z's around here - they're, dare I say, "exclusive" (that's for UNKNOWN_370's sake

).

I'm overall very happy with the car. Trust me, the car does look ugly in pictures but in person it looks much better than the previous ones. I like it much better than my '11.
I'll update with pics later.

Unknown, LakeShow said steering was lighter, not looser.

LakeShow · 09-15-2012, 05:50 PM

Let me re-elaborate and clarify, by softer suspension with the euro tuned shocks it takes bumps and pot holes less intensively than my 11' as it felt like I cracked my rim each time I hit something. As far as steering goes, the car is still fully connected and planted to the road. As far as lighter I meant a little more responsive, I guess I wasn't clear with that sorry.

I can take bumps pretty good compared to my 09. I hit a really bumpy road behind my house @ 50mph with no issue. In my 09 @ 40mph i was braking my back. I can feel every bump but its not jarring.
So are you saying you float over bumps now?

If its light or loose? wouldn't that equal not as tight as an 09-12 model??? Good to hear it's still planted though. I guess i just have to make that test drive myself.

rhood · 09-15-2012, 11:22 PM

my 2009 was Brilliant Silver with the roof painted black and I also had the LED lights, the only one in Tulsa. Great car but dont miss it. lol

The answer to your question is no. My G35 has heavier steering than my Z, but the Z has definitely tighter steering than my G. Light or heavy steering does not mean loose, just the effort that it takes to turn the steering wheel.

Yes I agree with you on the 2nd part, you definitely need to take a test drive in the 13.
