Thank you.:tiphat:

I was fortunate enough to see it in person at ZDayZ 2009. Absolutely beautiful ride.

So what are your plans for the 370?

I have started a thread here:
http://www.the370z.com/nismo-370z/23...no-thread.html

I am going to take it nice and slow and build something I can drive without fear of breaking. More of a daily drive/track day car with a race theme.

2008 F250 PowerstrokeDiesel, but b/f that a 2009 BMW 135i, and before that a 2006 AMG SLK55, and before that a 2008 Subaru STi...before that a 2006 Lotus Elise, and...well you get the idea...

370Zapper 08-18-2010 08:42 AM

Here's the only picture I have of my '98 Avenger that I drove before the Z.

Before that, I drove an '83 Accord and a '93 Explorer. Probably the least impressive list of previously owned cars. :(

2005, They didn't do F150s that year just 250s and 350s, Superchips tuner, 3 TVs, Pioneer Headunit, Blueray player,HID headlights and foglights and train horns lol. She was a diesel and those 6.0s had enough issues and I didn't wana void my warrenty with a bunch of performance mods. What about you?

Mine was an 04 with JLP shortblock, ported blower, 6 lb. pulley, long tubes, new trans, suspension and a million other things. Too much to type really. Street tune dynoed at 486/519. Best time on drag radials - 11.88 @ 114.49

^^^^^Wasn't really fast, but very comfortable.

TonyBPD 08-18-2010 11:29 AM

It was a beast for sure. Not a daily driver though! Ended up trading it in for an 06 Chevy Trailblazer SS which is driven by the wife now.

Nissan Sentra 1.8L.....:owned:

nuts4nissan09 08-18-2010 07:21 PM

2006 Dodge Charger r/t, red w/ black and tan interior. Drove it 32,xxx miles and loved the torque (390 lbs/ft). Build quality was not what the 370's is. I miss that car. It was a big bruiser, comfortable highway cruiser. I averaged 21 mpg w/ it versus close to 25 w/ the Z and I beat on the Z alot more than the Charger. I'd like to get another sedan someday.

christian370z 08-18-2010 07:56 PM

My first and last car was a 1996 Saab 900se turbo 'vert with 36,000 miles on it at the time I sold it... It was heavily modified with every single bolt on available for the chassis, Koni shocks, 50# injectors, GT28 turbo, big FMIC, custom tune, full 3" turbo back stainless steel exhaust, Borbet type FS rims, EBC redstuff pads, and on and on. I loved that car, it put down 285whp/290ftlbs which equates to roughly 350chp because of the drivetrain loss due to the automatic transmission.

I slaved over it to bring it as close to perfection as I could, but fundamentally the car was only good in a straight line and I did not enjoy the feeling that every WOT pull could be the last for the transmission.

'02 3.5 Altima that was totalled by hail back in May, thereby allowing me to use the oppurtunity to get the Z!

knifehand45 08-26-2010 03:36 PM

I drove a 93.5 toyota supra 2JZ twin turbo with an aftermarket gt35 setup. It was pure sex but then I moved back to the states and had to sell it :shakes head:

And a few other unmentionable cars (they werent Z's)

wolf370z 08-26-2010 11:27 PM

Traded in an 04 Mini Cooper S for the Z. Had a nice list of mods planned out but decided against it... car had about 75k miles on it not to mention I got very lucky. I only had to replace the driver's side window motor once myself (NO SHOP TOUCHING MY BABY!!) and the power steering pump never went out on me. Both are common issues with the MCS's. Luckily I didn't turn out like the guy who replaced the window motors 9 times, LITERALLY NINE TIMES. Oh and the power steering pump ALONE (NOT LABOR) is $600. Ridiculous BMW, absolutely ridiculous!!

That is probably the greatest deal I've ever gotten and will get on a Z.

So you saw the error of your ways with the American car then never looked back with the rest. Nice :tup:

Zlips 08-31-2010 10:30 AM

Haha, I guess you could say that. For a first car it was great thought.
