What did you drive before your 370z?

1991 Alfa Romeo Spider, only because it was totaled. However, the Z is a lot of fun to drive, and actually more practical for me....

Didn't trade, just added the Nismo as an garage mate for my Magnum SRT8.

87 Olds Cutlass> 95 Miata> 02WRX > 06GTi > 14 307z. Those are the dailys. I miss the size and feel of the miata, and I miss the boost of the WRX/GTi and the "solid" feel of my GTi, but the Z is pretty awesome. I don't regret it in the least. It's faster than the modded WRX and a better overall package than all of the other cars in my opinion.

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 had 3 Corrado's a '90 G60, a heavily modded '92 SLC and a 3.0 '93 SLC
This one was my favorite ('92), I really miss the seats

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.

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
