Apparently, you do care. lol

This is getting off topic, but Z owners should drive however it suits them. If that means caning it, tracking it, then so be it. If that means putt-putting to car shows or on lazy cruises, then ok.

But back to topic, yeah, any time you look at a used performance car, there's a greater likelihood that it has been put through the grinder than some putt putter.

Ok car god, what else should i do?

:icon17:

it all depends on how you look at it at the dealer. I'm driving an Rx8, but I never drive like crazy, slam in curves as it builds for, and never track them. I drive it under speed limit. I do believe there are some people like me out there who drive genteelly. Some people buy car just for fun to drive it. Most people wont risk their life driving fast.

I shift at 2000 RPMs on the way to work during the week, but I open her up someitmes on the weekend.

Careful, man... Jsolo's gonna come and take your car away. :hello:

Car driving nazi for the win. :icon14:

Should I get a custom plate that says Buick to fend him off? Im sure he gets confused easily.:stirthepot:

This is fact!!

Some of you children really need to grow up.

In the context of this thread, most people buy a sports vehicle to have fun with it. Accelerate fast, corner hard, wind the engine out, etc. There's a reason why the 370z has, among other things, the capable suspension, larger/wider tires, big brakes, short wheelbase, and a potent engine.

Utilizing this potential does put extra wear and tear on the car. When buying used, you really don't know how it was driven, if it was properly maintained. Of course this applies to any used vehicle. But even more so with a sports car. Chances are grandpa's oldsmobile was driven much differently than the typical sports vehicle. When considering one of these cars, these factors must be considered. That's not to say that all sports cars are abused or driven erratically. When buying used, if the price spread between a used and new is relatively low and somehting you can afford, then it may very well make more sense to pay the premium and have a brand new car.

@KaienZ34, since you took offense at my initial post and judging by your post count, you should drive more and spend less time on the internets.

:icon18: Car nazi strikes again. No offense taken, just saying who cares how other drive their car. Your the one that started all this with you childish posts. :tiphat:

This is what I've been saying. There is a higher likelihood that you're buying a ragged out car if you're buying a sports car used, than just some grocery getter, because a lot of people buy them and test their limits. That's why I'd rather buy a performance car new.

I, personally, will get a brand new one.

Who cares?? The person who has bought the used car and realized they need a new clutch or new rear end gears, or whatever else may be failing/failed due to abuse.

Wow.

@shadoquad, exactly. The price differential for me was about $5K. Wanted a manual, but was worried about having to do a clutch job. Also, CSC failures seem to be common. I wanted a full warranty, no headaches for the foreseeable future. It made sense to just buy new.
