Making quite a bit more now, and getting a tax/insurance break being married, so I was able to fit the new 370Z into the budget. You're on a good start job-wise it sounds, I would just buy something used now - keep it fairly stock - then trade it in for your new dream car a few years down the road.
I always take in good advice when i see one, I dont think ill be buying the 370z... but the 350z sounds pretty good, a used one, then mod it up nicely...

and the insurance can be under my dad

Honestly, if you wait a year, think about picking up a used 2009 370Z. I'm guessing you could find a clean one for about $23-24k then. Don't finance a car this expensive unless you really, really want it. Else, you're throwing money away for no good reason.

Well, I was talking USD anyway. I'm not sure what the current exchange rate is, but an excellent condition 2009 370Z with 25k miles is going for $25.5k down here. I can imagine it dropping another thousand or two in a year.

That's the only year the color was available, and I'm pretty sure it only came on the special edition.

Yeah seriously... I just looked at the MSRP on a base 370Z and it's $41k CAD. That's still at least $39k USD. That's crazy!
