a quick ? for those reading the thread, how do yall think this 30 mpg minimum sanction on all production cars after 12' will effect the performance car market? Im seein an increase in 4 banger turbodiesels, thoughts?

I had always wanted a 240Z back in the day when I was a young kid. Then I saw the 370Z and for me it was as if the 240Z had been infused into a modern version of the original. I had to have it and within two weeks I bought the one I wanted in June. Still breaking it in but I've enjoyed every minute!

I was looking up info on the bmw z4 out of curiosity, then the 350z because I had seen them around town and liked their look. That's how I found out about the 370. I saw the price and the performance reviews and decided I really wanted one. Wrestled with the want vs. need issue for a few weeks. Finally decided you only live once and bought the car.

The import tax on cars here made an S5 too expensive. So I looked into RWD cars (snow longer an issue) the 370Z was the best performance/cost combo out there.

Because only guys with huge members drive Zs.

And you found that attractive? I mean, how would you know, unless you checked other member's members.

:wtf2:

You didn't get measured when you bought yours? It was like one of those "you must be this tall" rules.

Sorry, I guess the guy before me broke it. Good thing too...

'08 6 speed that I tuned to about 470 HP and re-did the suspension....For a light car it's got a very heavy feel to it. Ponderous is the word with the turning radius of the Queen Mary. Lot of fun for the 1.5 years I had it, but not nearly as satisfying as the Z to drive (for me anyway)

That is awesome!

Fate can sometimes be a wonderful thing!

When I was a child, my neighbor took me around in his new z with the t-tops off.
My first car was an 86 z31 turbo.
I've had several since then. At one point I was helping to build two vg30/33's a week.
Currently building an 88SS that I co-own with a friend of mine. 60-1 turbo, jwt S2 cams, ported/polished to the size of the valves throughout. Nistune, for those that know what it is. Currently pulling 14psi, should have fuel for 20, and if that goes bad, we've got my old vg33 on the stand, almost ready to go.

I bought mine the week after somebody cut in front of my g35 coupe. Totaled it out, gap insurance paid off the rest... I was free... so I went and picked up a load of debt :D
VPP program, loaded it out, only thing I didn't get was the splash guards and the 'upgraded' mats.
Never liked the 350z, the interior was terrible.

Had an 06 vette. Obviously, it didn't meet my full expectations.

so its safe to say the vette handles like a peterbuilt?

I didn't have an issue with the handling (although it wasn't top notch). I had an issue with the absolute POS interior in a $50K+ car.

They can charge any fee that a customer is willing to pay... ;)
