Thanks guys, I appreciate the bits of ownership knowledge you provide.
I was pretty sure on the 370z already, but I just wanted to see what some of you may have said about the other cars.

I found a great PG with Sport package, 3K miles, Tein suspension and oil cooler locally for $28K.... some what negotiable. I think I might pull the trigger.

I really love the lotuses 2zz_ge maybe cause i was a die hard celica fan, but the new Z is amazing... I loved every minute of test drive!

I really like the Corvette but they are SOOOOOO common. Every other old man drives one around here. I don't even notice them any more....

Try to sit it one. 90-seconds later when you are situated in the seat, ask yourself if you can repeat that process multiple times a day.

If you never have sat in one though...go sit in a bath-tub (with no water in it of course). Position yourself as if you are seated in a car with your hands extended out gripping an imaginary wheel. Say vroom vroom.

Another thing, if you wear anything bigger than a men's size 8.5 shoe...good luck.
