Lol - was wondering when someone would notice

I'm actually running the X-Ray '007, Serpent 720 and CRX Gen X-10 for 10th scale...

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?

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

Street racing in Houston - Z cut in half

here's a raw video footage from the news station of the car:

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.

Streetlife · 08-20-2009, 01:34 PM

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.

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.

Forrest · 08-20-2009, 02:58 PM

that is the worst 350z accident i ever seen. what speed was he going 100mph+?

cajunz · 08-20-2009, 03:02 PM

'78 280z (currently a bare shell for restoration)
'79 280zx (totaled when some idiot ran stop sign)
'84 300zx (sold when the kids arrived)
'09 370z (last two boys have to flip a coin to see who goes to college)

mspeasl · 08-20-2009, 03:09 PM

We had traded a Pre-Ordered 03 350 for our new 370. Had the 350 for almost 7 years and enjoyed it every time we drove it. Now we have had our new 370 for 4 months and took it on a 3K vacation in June. Fantastic car..... It is everything the 350 wasn't. Plus the price wasn't that much more than a 350 was. I am very happy.

BTW, about the same thing happened to our old 350 that happened to the car above. Not as bad and no one got hurt. But in less than a week a car that had never had as much as a scratch on it in 57K went to a total front end wreck. Now will some one please tell me just what is in the air or water after these cars leave their original owners?

xiven · 08-20-2009, 03:31 PM

06 Eclipse GS (pics in my album)

traded it in (neccessity...it had too many memories that need to be forgotten)

I noticed you haven't posted on his introduction thread in a while, but you did a great job keeping everyone up to date. Some cold-hearted members over there if you ask me. I think there are still some people on that thread looking to hear how he is doing if you happen to know.

Ok, now...on topic...every car since I was 16, in order of appearance:

'90 240sx stock when purchased, 300 whp SR20DET when sold
'94 3000gt SL (terrible car)
'93 240sx that was going to be a project, but didn't get around to it
'04 chevy colorado base in college
'08 Sentra SE-R Spec-V
'04 350z touring roadster
and now the 370

HTTWHLS · 08-20-2009, 04:00 PM

OK - in order....

80 Firebird (hey I was 17

)
83 280ZX Turbo 2+2 (LOVED this car man....)
86 300ZX - ok but like my 280ZX better
90 240SX - eh.......
95 GSX (AWD Turbo) - lots of fun
01 C5 (orderd 7/00 and NCM Delivery 11/00) - Awesome car, but was really disapointed with its fit/finish and "quality" issues; ongoing fuel sensor issue and COLUMN LOCK issue (2 times was enough for me - traded her in with 37,000 miles, right out of warranty)
03 M3 Convertible (was rear-ended on the 405 going to work- totaled after only 6 months of owning)
05 350Z Touring Roadster
09 370Z Touring/Nav/Sport - best Z yet!
