First 370Z test drive ... Mixed Emotions!

1.) First time you drove a 370Z ... How did it feel? Fall in love right away?
The first time I drove my 370Z 7AT I knew it was better than my beloved DB 2004.5 350Z 6MT w/ bolt-ons. Everything I touched or did in it was simply better. The looks had me at hello for everything except the headlights which are now one of my favorite attributes because of how they flow with the rest of the car. The speed of this car has to be respected as it seems so slippery cutting through the air and so planted if you know what you're doing through the twisties.

2.) What car did you own before the 370Z?
DB 2004.5 350Z 6MT w/ bolt-ons

3.) Do I just need more time driving the 370Z? Or, if I didn't get that tingling sensation right away, should I just move on?
If you didn't feel it while walking up to the car then maybe your priorities in a car are different than what this car brings to the table. If you have a single reservation then you should get something else as this is a purpose built sports car with very few compromises for the price. Don't expect a purebred pit fighter to be gentle...
