What was your second choice?

Mergnthwirker · 07-17-2009, 10:03 PM

For 370Z owners: If you didn't get the Z what would you have bought instead? What one thing pushed you over the line to buy the Z?

I wanted a Cayman in the worst way. I loved the ones I drove and up until I drove the Z, I was saving my pennies to buy one in a couple of years. But I found the Z so visceral and immediate and fun

that I just couldn't resist. Sure the Porsche was a lot more refined, and probably holds its value better yada yada yada.

But I found the Z just plain more fun.

What about you?

StLRedrider · 07-17-2009, 10:05 PM

For me, it was the Z from the get go.

shadspimp · 07-17-2009, 10:07 PM

A used E46 M3(was in love with it), or a brand new G37. Most likely would've been the M3.

davidyan · 07-17-2009, 10:10 PM

I was thinking of getting the new Acura TL. I didn't even know of the 370Z until someone with a brand new one drove past me. Lets just say I'm glad I didn't buy the TL.

GMZ · 07-17-2009, 10:12 PM

C6 vette or another 350z to forge and boost. Z was much nicer inside and new car reliable so it won out.

fly yellow · 07-17-2009, 10:15 PM

G37s. I went with the Z because i thought it looked better.

Everything you do in this world should make at least a little bit of sense, and the Dodge Viper, while fun to look at just made no sense, so it was the Z.

Holy crap! Never would have considered that one. I'm in awe, sir!

MightyBobo · 07-17-2009, 10:28 PM

Used C6 Z51 package.

Humm...I don't know why? J/K

frost · 07-17-2009, 10:33 PM

I wanted to help out and lower emissions so I almost got this one, but it just didn't have enough horsepower.

AK370Z · 07-17-2009, 10:37 PM

350Z or 135i. (most likely 350)

FuszNissan · 07-17-2009, 10:41 PM

^^ Looks like a 2 door sedan to me. But you made the right choice

molamann · 07-17-2009, 10:50 PM

G37
350Z
IS350
335I
135I
Camaro SS

As you can see my selection is quite diverse since I never had a "next car" in mind until my 2000 Z28 took a **** back in Jan 09.

Pushing_Tin · 07-17-2009, 11:01 PM

New 2008 C6
New Mustang
Challenger
Camaro
Genesis Coupe
135/335

I had an IS350 btw.
