Personally I'm probably keeping the car for 5-6 years. I'm already bored of the power, and the amount of money spent for full bolt-ons/tune or boost comes with unsatisfying gains in terms of hp/$. For handling the curves and drifting, it does well, but the straights leave much to desire.

I sold my Z last month. I loved the car. it was 2010 Fully loaded all options.. with 8,000 miles.. I just got married, bought a new house, thinking of expenses and moving forward, it was not practical to keep a 2 seater sitting in garage, payments and not even drive in winter.. harsh winters here in Northern Virginia. I traded in/ and got a 2013 mazda CX-5 (love the space, 31MPG city, lack of power..need to live w/ that)..oh well, but it's about priorities..

Z is a great car. BUT there is a time and place for everything in life.
In a few years, I will either getting a GT-R or 4 seater sports sedan.. (M5 or Panomara).. let's see..

BTW. Anyone in DC area looking for a great deal. My Z is at Arlington Mazda for a pretty decent price.. Fully loaded.. Rev.D lock installed.. absolutely perfect.

Where I live the Z is perfect year round, and I love taking it to my GF's relatives in Fresno, about a 3 hour drive, and then beating on the Z all day long up in the mountain twisties and some awesome straights

. When I get married I already said I'm keeping the Z and turning it into a proper racecar with my buddy after I get a second vehicle (Probably a truck again, I miss my truck so much OMFG!!!!).

Anyway, the Z is ******* great, and so far the best bang for the buck of any car in my book.

/\ when you traded in your Z, a part of me died inside.
