making the switch to a Z, but have a concern

FairladyZ

I did say unless you were truly unhappy.

Sounds like it from your reply lol

Being unhappy is better than being broke. But since you can afford to take the hit, go for it.

I had a modded B6 S4 Audi with the V8 and at times I miss that power in my Z. But the light weight and handling of the Nismo is far better. I think I'll go GTM stage 1.5 and then I'll be really happy!

axmea?

When was the last time you drove around town and some random guy "Nice Car" or people walking by does a double take or some chick tells you, I bet you get all the girls with that car......this is something so common with the Z and I have not yet said anything about how it handles in the twisties.........

Wait till you get a Z and see all the women that are non enthusiast driving them, is that going to bug you as well?


FYI I know that there are some females that are enthusiast of the Z, but many are not.

I would love to spend money into something that outstanding. we can find Camaro or Mustang every stoplight as you've been saying. What about the Z ? you bought a car worth than regular cars then you suppose to get outstanding outcome. Maybe, It's not about performance,but at least people looking at you and asking themselves. What is that nice car right there?

make the switch unless you getting/have a ZL1 then different story

The only girl I have seen with a Z in my area drives a sport Montery Blue, and let me tell ya, she drives that thing like she stole it. Lol. It took everything I had to catch up to her one day in town. Finally got up next to her, she had already seen me and had the window down, came to a stop right before the light turned green. All she got off was yelling really loud that she loves the car. Lol. Then she took off again like a bat out of hell. I was like YES

out of the 5 370zs i have seen in my town. two of them were driven my "moms" its looked like.

out of the 100,000 of camaros and mustangs i have seen in my town. about 50,000 were a "mom".

I had a '10 SS and i traded it on a brand new '10 Z with sports package. Sorry to say it, but I missed my camaro every single time I drove my Z. I still wish i wouldnt have gotten rid of it.

mikeSS

there was a guy on my forums, that had a 370z nismo and a SS. he sold the nismo and kept the SS. said he liked the SS better.

Jordo!

Next gen Z is unlikely to be available before 2016.

Relative to your Camaro, the Z will feel much more nimble, but also less torquey (of course, if you want to spring for FI, the sky's the limit).

Stock (or lightly NA modded) the Z is a very capable all around sports car, but it is NOT a powerhouse, relative to a built V8 muscle car.

I'd go with a 2012 over a 2013 -- the small differences between the two are mainly cosmetic, and the 2012's should be available for a few grand less.

Test drive one and see what you think -- good luck!

that first comment really makes me feel good about getting a Z. i want the current looks for at least 2 years. from a purchase, which will most be this winter.
