Thanks for the information. Whats the deal about coming from a Mustang to a 370Z. Both are beautiful cars in their own specific ways. With my Mustang I dealt with American Muscle for parts. Is there an aftermarket dealer for the 370 that would be on par with American Muscle in terms of great reputaion and customer service?

Thanks again

Lol, because 70% of us go from 370Z to 5.0

We have great vendors, but expect to pay more for 370Z parts

Well I've been in the Mustang world for a while now. I've owned 6 in the last 10 years and have modified the majority of them. The handling of the 370 is much better than the 5.0 IMHO and as with any car TQ and HP is only a few bills away. Essentially by the time May rolls around I will be driving a 370 that will chew my 5.0 and handle much nicer. So can you list some of these great vendors?

Jeez thought coming to the 370 world would come with some pride, not people confused on why I made the choice lol

Cheers

You guys need to post more often then There're several longtime forum members that have moved on to Mustangs from their 370Zs and they are quite vocal about it We need guys like you to step up on behalf of the Z haha. But seriously, it's all in good humor. Real car guys respect car guys

Pretty surprised that the usual "mustang defense force" hasn't shown up to spread the sweet gospel.

Anywho, looks like you have enough to either completely pimp out the Z with a NA build which would put you around ~340whp, or start a FI build.

We've had so many people call us fan-boys for loving our cars and trying to push the mustang agenda, that one-third of our members fell into subjective brainwashing and became self loathers for owning a Z.

So this is a Z forum that glorifies, 5.0's, the C7 before it's reviewed and used porsche cayman S's. Lastly if you believe your Z may be able to win at a track against anything American or German? Be prepared to argue all day.

Enjoy your Z.
