2001 VW Jetta.

Bit of a step up I guess. :p

370z1 11-02-2011 08:01 PM

Before driving the Z i had the following

1) Pontiac G8 (430 HP) V8 GM L76 motor with after market cold air intake, Flow Master Exhausts, Performance Chip with aggressive map.

2) [Honda 929 CBR RR] (996cc DOHC) (148HP) did the quarter mile in 10.1s @ 137mph. After market chip with aggressive air/fuel map with race exhaust. (0-70mph in 3.9 seconds)

Now I drive the Ultimate track car 370Z.......... Wish our Super chargers would come down in price, I can imagine what our track beasts would feel like off the launch with an extra 140HP..... and all that extra torque.

2001 Camaro SS, stock motor, modified chassis, lowered a bit with matched shocks, realignment, frame braces.

Mind blowing performance for the money, engine and handling, still miss the engine.

New current wife has a '10 Honda CRV and a '02 Excursion. Do those count for my list too?



Oh, did you mean RIGHT BEFORE this Z? .....Sorry, I got carried away.

Good lord, I'm 41 and I've only owned 3 cars including my Z, not including family cars (had two of those). At this rate I'll own only 6 cars in my whole life! You've got 22 and still kicking.

Well I drove my Bugatti Veyron Grandsport for a while and just got tired of it. I stopped by Nissan and traded it in for the Z. I still owed a million on the Bugatti so I have negative 1 million going into my Z. I'm financing the Z for 1 million plus $40,000 for the Z.
