I still say hang onto your money. Wax and Detail out what you have.
Maybe tint out your windows and drive down to your local beach and
pick up a honey.........What the hell while your at it spend some money
on the honey..........Then again I'm not a real doctor..................

Is there a doctor in house or what? Damn.

Anyways, I tend to agree that pretty much any sports car is fast enough for most of us. Then it comes down to do you like the way it looks and how you feel when you sit inside it and drive it? That's all HIGHLY subjective. Test drive a bunch of cars, find one you'd rather have than the money sitting in your bank account.

Personally, I'd go with the Z. It drives great and looks better than any car anywhere near it's price range. It's a steal. Just my opinion!

my second Nismo a left over 2013 silver with zero miles for under 35k....

Nice approach--very similar to the one I've taken over the years. But wait until you're my age and find yourself ranting about someone's bad driving (or some other behavior) because they are old and then realize that he or she is probably younger than you are

Bleek, 1st question I gotta ask you. Have you owned or driven a 6 mt 370Z? 2nd question, what are you going to use the car for, DD, track, 1/4, auto x?

Your initial post says you want something faster than a Z, manual trans, under $60k and new. A new base C7 or base Shelby GT will be right at that amount. A new Nismo will save you $20K plus and handle just as good, if not better, just a tad slower. But it will eat your A4.

So test drive the Z or better yet, have an owner near you really take you for a drive. $20K plus can buy a lot of other things that put a smile on your face as well.

For the price and performance, and dont forget the looks, the 370Z NISMO is the sexiest ride on the market. just me tho.
