Thinking about selling the Z

mikeSS · 02-06-2013, 10:34 PM

idk how you could go from a sexy as hell NISMO, to a STI or evo.

You buy a Juke and someone will come by your house and put their foot in your azz.

i honestly dont know why, more room i guess

the Z is so sexy, its fast, and it corners extremely well, i just dont have fun driving it anymore, even back roads are starting to bore me with that car but when i drive my brothers Eclipse GS-T Sypder(Use to be mine but i gave it to him when i bought the Z) i have a blast in it even though its slower(it was faster but i dialed down the boost before i gave it to him), and even though its FWD

idk maybe its the choo choo choo BOV noises the car makes LOL

lol i like the way that car looks, its so sexy(sexy in the same way a rusted up Golf is sexy)
it just needs a bit more low so it looks more like a wagon then it does a SUV

My wife test drove the Juke before we bought the Altima and she liked it but said she didn't like how high it is.

hhhmmm, i didnt know that about the STi, i know some people with STi conversions but no one with a real STi

im just bored of my car if that makes any sense, its not really fun to drive any more, too much grip imo(which is good if i went to the track every weekend, but i dont so its boring)
its like james may said, the fun begins when the grip starts to end

Maybe I should recommend you Cube or Xb?

well i love the look of the old 2G eclipse, heck i use to own a 2G GST before i bought my Z, plus its AWD turbo and it uses the same engine as the EVO 8 and 9

But still it's an eclipse... I'd recommend Supra or Rx7. They got the look AND the performence.

this is true, i havent really looked into the RX7 before, that would be one sick car to have though

i would get a supra but they are expensive unless i opt for the N/A version

If you turn off vdc and go WOT mid turn then the back will slide out nicely

I could see trading it in for another performance car such as the STi if you need the space and AWD with your weather situation (like me - going to move to CO), but I couldn't see the reasoning for saying the z isn't fun enough. Maybe you're not driving it right? Hah I kid I kid.

But if you are determined to change things up, the most fun alternative is getting a an STi and prepare it to go off roading. Or a jeep wrangler to go off roading. But for just street driving, I'd stick with the z

Or to save money you get get an frs

well i would just get the juke to mess around with honestly, im leaning more towards an evo or an STi

i would get an FRS except that thing is SLOW, if it had a turbo i would be all over it but it doesnt, maybe the BRZ STi will have a turbo, iirc its rumored to have one

honestly i kind of want more space and something that wouldnt be so inconvenient at times, like when i had to pick up a few things for my uncle(a stool and a few other big items), i had to borrow my moms maxima to get them because they wouldnt fit in the hatch of the Z, if i had a sedan, or even a FRS, i could have fit everything in the trunk(or in the case with the FRS drop the back seats and then fit everything)

lol, then i'll hit the car next to me or wrap myself around a tree

I am driving my wifes juke to work now and my Z has a lot more room, especially when I have my daughter in the carseat behind me. My knees touch the the dash.

She had a versa before and that had more room than the juke.

I understand where you're coming from. As great of a car as the 370 is, it's not for everyone. Sure it's great fun in the beginning but after a while, for some, that novelty fades away. Different strokes for different folks. Sounds like its time to move on to the next car. Plus you're only 19, its going to be a while before you finally find "that" car you're willing to keep for a long time.

I missed this the first time. Keep the Z. Given how most people's lives go, it may be a long time before you can justify another impractical 2 seater. Plus, chicks love the Z.
