WOW....... Man I'm glad you are all right & came out with some minor burses/cuts. Things could have been a lot worse for you & the other driver. Hopefully you are able to get a new Z.

When I had a crash in my 99 Nissan Altima into a pole from bad weather at a simular speed, I also walked away with the same seat belt burns and that was it. Take the good with the bad. Bad your car got totaled, good that youre okay. Great because you get to get a better one without having the burden down the road of trying to sell an accident car (if the damage was more minor and they were fixing it)

I thought about that, but considering they just refreshed it for 2013, I'll probably have to wait at least 4 years for the next iteration of the Z.

The base brakes are just as good as the sport package brakes in normal driving. Larger brakes/rotors/calipers have increased thermal capacity and can cycle constant hard braking better. Once you have enough brake force available to overcome tire traction, adding more won't make a significant difference.

...and as for the tires...they are the same type/model/brand as the ones on the Nismo, just not as wide (about a 1" difference).

You're lucky he/she admitted fault because they could have easily claimed you lost control of your car and headed towards oncomming traffic.

Glad you're okay

Did you have gap insurance? Might be a good thing in this case since the car was brandy new. Any idea if you owe more than the value?

I'm thinking there is a chance it's not totaled. Car has to be valued at least in the high 20s. Even if the block is cracked you are probably looking at 15-20k to repair max IMO.

Let us know how it turns out. You're pretty lucky.

Yes I have Gap Insurance, and yes I owe more than it is worth. This is something that worries me, but I guess that's what it's for right? Also the fact that it's an '09...
