Default 1993 Nissan Pathfinder vs. 2009 370z

I bought my Z this past Saturday, and have since driven it as much as possible.

Today I had to get back into my ol' Pathfinder for a trip to Home Depot. After getting accustomed to the Z over the past several days, the Pathfinder felt like I was driving a refrigerator box with the parking brake on.

LOL - almost a ditto on that. Wife is out of town and I had the two kids to pick up so I had to switch to the '99 Jeep Cherokee 4.0L. Mushy brakes, 65000000 series side walls on the tires. Handles like a dream - well at least the four poster bed..... it's agony!

Seriously I'm getting a baby sitter so I can go out for a drive on Friday.........

I switch between a 350Z and a Ford Expedition. And while the 350Z is a performer, the Ford does actually win in one performance standard. I can legally get 8 people a quarter mile down the road much quicker in the Ford than the Z. I assume it will dominate the 370Z in this category in much the same fashion.



....folds arms.......looks tough

Daily driver (until it runs itself in the ground) - 1997 Ford Ranger, I4/5M.

Fun - 2009 Nissan 370z V6/7AT (couldn't get the manual without spending as much or more...and wait)

Fun 2 - 2005 Honda VTX1300C (V-Twin) - sucks when it's raining, sucks when the sun is out in full-force and you forget the sunblock...

Fun 2 might get sold to pay off some debts and create some breathing room - lol. I went a bit overboard on getting the Z...
