making the switch to a Z, but have a concern

Telephone · 10-19-2012, 08:55 PM

Test drive a Z first. You might fall I love with your V8 Camaro all over again.

And as for the Z scene, is it any less juvenile than the Camero/Mustang crowd? I actually don't know. I'm a non-scene daily driver who practically ignores other cars. I drive a Z for my own selfish reasons. There are older chaps that drive the Z and could care less about you and your mods. Just FYI.

Base model Z is an awesome value.

I am so over the whole power thing. honestly i put headers and a cam in my camaro for sound reasons. was fine with the stock power.

the car is up for sale as of today on couple sites/forums. looking to have a Z within months.

i plan to keep the 370z stock, as i plan to daily drive it. kind of over the modding thing also. after doing it, it gets real old.

what i plan to do is. rims, springs, cat back.

You said your over modding then mention what i plan to do is. rims, springs, cat back

Might as well add a CAI and tune into that list to wake up the midrange power of the car.

what i have grow to hate about mustangs and camaros. is how its such a typical sports car to drive. so many people drive them, and so many are not enthusiast. where to Z people. at least in my area are more of car people. the idea of the v6 mustang and camaro brings in people who just want the look and name. i want a car that people buy for performance. the 370z is just more of what i am looking for.

another point. i know you live in CA. which is import capital of the US. but i live in MI. we rarely see 370z. i am kidding you, again i am serous. i have seen about 12 370zs since 2009. i live in a nice area also.

The second you get your Z you will start seeing them everywhere. When we dont drive our Z's we never see any. If we take one out they pop up left and right it seems like lol

guess you never owned a mustang or camaro before huh? that what popping out left and right is

Mr&Mrs · 10-19-2012, 10:36 PM

I never will because I swear were I live its all BMW, Vettes, Mustang, and Camaros. Never said I didnt agree with you, just that you will probably notice them more once you have one.

Hahaha I second that.

m4a1mustang · 10-19-2012, 10:44 PM

The Z is a great car. I can totally see why you'd want to make the switch.

I had one and loved it.

FWIW, I think I preferred mine when it was stock.
