What did you drive before your 370z?

Lone Wolf 75 · 08-01-2009, 09:14 PM

I drove a 2002 Subaru Impreza WRX:

Not a bad car, but definately a lot different than the 370Z. I decided to put it up for sale since I figured I would get more for it by selling it myself and I don't need two cars.

The 350Z and STi came out in the first two years after I bought the WRX. Talk about a double whammy. I held on to the WRX for awhile, then decided that after 7 years and almost 100,000 miles, it was time for something a little different. I knew I had to have the 370Z after seeing it in person at the Baltimore Autoshow.

1995 Chevy Suburban
2006 VW GTI
Still don't have a 370z but I will soon...hopefully!

MeetJoeAsian · 08-20-2009, 01:14 PM

Any previous Z owners in here? First time owners? What was your previous car? How does the 370z compare to your previous car? I'm anxiously awaiting picking mine up. I can't pick up until next Wednesday and the wait is killing me...hahaha...Here are my 2 previous: 2004 350Z Enthusiast and 2005 G35 Coupe...if you were on the 350Z forum years ago, you may remember that my 350Z was sold to a 20 year old, and he totalled it 3 days later and was in a coma for 8 months.

I love white, but unfortunately, my 370Z will be blue. I was hoping to find a white or yellow, but the deal that I got was too good to pass up on a blue...

fu*k man! what happened??? I too had a G35 coupe, black. Traded it in on the Z. But dude, how did he survive that shyt?

billydsz · 08-20-2009, 01:26 PM

I still have my 05 350z (but it's for sale). The 370z is much more powerful and is the superior feeling car (although new tires always feel great). Plus my 350 had the 17" rims on it. I love the 370, and don't regret selling the 350.

Before that my other muscle cars were an 86 Mustang GT and an 88 Mustang GT. They were fast and cheap and alot of fun, but if the roads were wet, you better stay alert. LOL those cars would spin out if you looked at them when there was rain.

I remember when that aired on Fox 26 ( I live in Houston too). Street racing is especially dangerous here because of traffic congestion, even Sunday's are congested now.

shabarivas · 08-20-2009, 01:22 PM

umm your engine is not attached to your rear... holy crap ...

Used to have a G35 and an Evo X... traded the G and crashed the X

I hate to sound like your dad given that I'm only 26 but this is why you shouldn't street race. I'm glad you've recovered and have hopefully learned your lesson. Enjoy your new 370Z and don't race anymore, seriously. I used to race too back when I was 18 but stopped a long time ago.

Who are you talking to? MeetJoeAsian (the original poster) did not crash the car. He sold it to another guy who crashed it. No lesson for him to learn. Sorry to sound like YOUR DAD but reading comprehension is important junior...

I think I remember hearing about that.

Kirby, the worst road to drive fast down, even after the repaving.

SlikNik · 08-20-2009, 02:42 PM

I had a 04 350Z Touring model which was my favorite car. Irealized quick that the"BLOSE" system had to go and I gutted everything, Going with Alpine/ Jl Audio gear.
I traded this car in for a 2007 FJ Cruiser 4x4, great vehicle but I did miss my Z the whole time. Then Nissan came out with the 370

Just picked up the Platinum graphite base Sport. ( no wasted dollars on the " Blose") will buy after market leather even though I am pretty impressed so far with the quality of the cloth and stitching accents.
My favorite car I have had yet. Road noise is severe but I kinda knew that going in and hopefully when I gut the stock system some sound dampening will quiet things down a bit.
