About to get a 2011 370z. I had the following cars:
1. too many mustangs to keep count
2. 2005 Infiniti G35 coupe 6MT
3. 2010 VW GTI
4. future car - 2011 370z

I should be getting the Z from the dealership on Wednesday but I already miss the GTI. The GTI was a stage 2, short shifter, RSB, FSB, Unibrace as well as a subframe kit - all in all I added about $4k into it over the course of ownership.

The reason for getting rid of it was bc it came up with major repairs - if I added the clutch I was 'going' to be needing - it would have been close to $6500 in all; figured it was time to trade it in and get something different. 370Z was at a good price and figured if I was ever going to get a true sports car that only had 2 seats - it was going to be now.

92 Subaru SVX - got at 15. transmission blew after 5 months
95 Volvo 850 T5 - had for 5 years. Got it to 350whp. God that was a fun car.

Now I have the predecessor of one of the cars that's been hanging on my wall since I was 9 years old.

I Owned Corrados for the last 15 years

'92 SLC, heavily modded
'93 3.0 SLC
I really miss the seats and the speed activated rear spoiler.
This one was my favorite

1995 RX-7 LS1 Swap. I miss the raw power and fun of the car. But I like all the new features the Z has.
Smashley and LAVA like this.

2000 celica gts, 2005 Crossfire SRT-6, to my 370z, miss the crossfire all the time, the down low torque and the straight line speed was awesome, but it wont touch the Z in autocross which I do most

Traded the 2008 Honda Civic LX for the Z, then later on sold my 1990 CRX Si with a JDM b16a swap. While I do miss my CRX sometimes as that was my high school girlfriend, now I can just concentrate on my Z (my new girlfriend)

Traded up from a 2008 VW R32:.
I miss all the space, going from a hatchback to a fastback 2 seater is culture shock, especially when it came time to move my fish tank

2009 Accord Coupe V6. Long list of mods including full bolt-on's. It was a great car but not near as quick/agile as the 370Z.

97 Camaro (Totaled) -> 05 Hyundai Tiburon SE. Very nice car but FWD which kinda limits your fun.
