Damn, you're making alot of money right out of college to be able to save up that fast. Good job!

persimmon is the way to go, automatic is not.... learn and get a manual, this car and you deserve it. G/L with the '13 process. I am recently out of college too, just do your best to save and get the car you want without compromising.

WOW....... That was some crazy money to save & put toward your college loans. Very nice. Having college loan debt is not exactly like having credit card debit. I give you some mad props, but do what you have to-do.

If you were getting a NISMO, it wouldn't really matter. Since you are getting the Touring w/ Persimmon, I think you should not settle for anything. If you want the 12, get it. If you actually like the way the 13 looks, then go for it. Also, deviating from your plan may be a mistake.......you never know what you will find in a couple months. Heck......the way people buy Zs and end up selling them is somewhat nerve-racking. I guaranty you will see a 12/13 that someone just bought up for sale in the forum classifieds or other ad source, lol!

thanks guys, i sure do appreciate my job. and my parents who have let me live at home so i can actually pay it off and get this car before i leave. lol. my mom isnt too stoked though. she says "its way too expensive and youll kill yourself in it."oh mother.

LOL......mom's. Nice parents & there should be no shame. Hopefully you wouldn't kill yourself in it.

haha i dont plan on it. some of you boys though....i dunno.....lol JK!

I'm totally innocent. :rolleyes:

Yea i regret not getting persimmon seats! Are you gonna leave the car stock?

if i get the 12 im getting the brake calipers powder coated orange but no other plans as of now

That will change once you start going to meets and seeing all the sweet things you can do to yours. :tup:

Once the mod bug hits it hits hard. I plan on modding my Z into a GT500

I can't wait for that build! :stirthepot:

I'll post pics when it's done.

No way, I want a build thread. I wanna make sure you're doing more than just repainting it. :p
