On a separate note, drove my neighbors M3 on Saturday. The straight line acceleration is awesome but the grip...omg. Astonishing.

OP - Glad you got to experience a Z for a while and good luck with the SUV and Truck. Your opinions on the Z are duly noted and the backlash you are getting is this community's twisted way of saying that they'll miss you and that you should never come back :icon23:

You might want to look into some of the sports sedans out there since you seem to need more of the daily driver creature comforts that most sports cars simply won't deliver.

Where do you "brilliant" people get off thinking this was a financial decision? Did I ever say that? Maybe it was a "we don't need a truck, 3 cars and 3 motorcycles decision." No, obviously it had to only be a financial one... duh. I am certainly reconsidering my "good people" comment from earlier. Trust that if I had wanted to keep the Z, I would have, but I recognized my needs and took the appropriate actions.

Though I don't require your approval to live my life, I do appreciate your due concern for my well being. In fact, without your feedback, I might have gotten back into the Z game....

I had a 350z and traded in on a 2012 ford f150 with the coyote 5.0. Although impressed with the 365 stock hp, I soon realized that I was riding a couch. The Fords are nice trucks but down here in Texas they are a dime a dozen and the blah factor set in while driving it. In other words, I was nodding off while driving home from work or any other trip longer than 30 minutes. I put 5k on the truck and traded it in on my 370z and couldnt be happier. I guess I'm opposite of the OP but from a performance perspective from a F250 weighing in over 8k with 500 plus ponies still sounds boring and then comparing that to the Z?

Come on get real :bs:

Out of curiosity why didn't you keep the Z and let your wife drive that instead? Wife in a Z is much hotter than wife in a Murano lol :driving:

We discussed that and she doesn't like the rear/see side visibility and the serious lack of cargo space. She is much happier in the Murano. For those who are married you may be able to appreciate the sheer amount of bonus points I'm getting for this trade.

500hp is possibly boring. 1100ftlbs is not. Fact.

The smaller your balls are the more room you have.






Golf balls.

The next Z needs a V8. It needs the 5.6 Infiniti M56 V8 shoehorned into it. 400+ hp and 380lb.ft. of torque, 12 sec 1/4s....And its styling needs to revert to the Z32 style: GT styling a la Porsche Panamera or Porsche 928 style.

OK, I give. I don't have the patience for the eternal kenchan/alcheng circle jerk today. The OP was bashing the Z, which has no equal for its price and if you can't afford it you're poor.

I'd like to get in on that. :tiphat:

V8 twin turbo and optional AWD :yum:

UNKNOWN_370 03-04-2014 01:16 AM

Yeah... The Z needs a chassis from Ferrari, an engine from Lamborghini (850hp), a transmission from Bugatti, and a carbon fiber body for $30k. :facepalm:
