What other cars are you considering besides the 370Z?

I think your final choice is down to one simple thing:

How much power can you afford, in other words HOW MUCH MONEY ARE YOU WILLING TO SPEND.......then your $32000 dollars car will look just beautiful into your eyes. :stfu:

true statement alefcole. BTW, Is that smiley for Bryan?

Wow this topic is so interesting guys...
I'm bugging out to it, LOL!
Jeez, but SO many choices for next year!
I know its all about the car's specs., but I really care about appearance too...
But when I saw the 370z it had me. No matter what I'm going to stay true and get myself a 370z white!

I totally agree only thing stopping from getting one of these will be the price and if that be the case i will have 2 decide between a EVO X or GENSIS COUPE

Care to share the info on the Z4 ..........Beemer

Z4 m coupe is ~$10k more expensive and about to go out of production. The NEW Z4 should be good competition though.

It's a big magazine they sent me. I recently did the BMW Ultimate Drive and they have been sending me a lotta stuff. I gotta tell you, the new Z4 looks pretty nice in White and with the ///M package, it's not a bad car at all. Here are some pics

Specs: BMW North America

I Wouldn't pay $50,000 for that car where the new Z will be just as agile as the bimmer and $20,000 less

Lets make an informed decision.
Car and Driver tests $30K-$60K cars in VIR Lightning Lap.

CrownR426 · 11-15-2008, 02:03 PM

Let's seeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

SMJane_Again · 11-16-2008, 09:30 PM

Great topic, it's one of those things I daydream about constantly. I read a blurb in either EVO or CAR (I think

) about the next Z4's (coupe and roadster) getting the current engines, so the twin turbo six and M3 V8 for the M models... if the price stays even remotely the same those cars could be all kinds of awesome. I will do due dilligence on my next purchase, test drive pretty much everything between $25K and $45K worth driving and then ask myself which one best fits my intent: Is it a car that I will want to drive for years to come, one that will bring a smile to my face every time I see it? It doesn't have to be practical (although if the new STI is any good, that'd be a huge bonus), it's just gotta be great fun!

The old (current) Z4 is all the way down to low 40's, since production is being shipped to germany. I wouldn't pay 50K either for this Z4, but for the next 2010 Z4 I may pay even more..............yes, 20k more than the 370z, but they are saying it will come with a tweaked twin turbo engine 330HP and more torque than the current engine, so performance will be similar, but the "looks" go for the bimmer this time.

The 2010 generation Z4 also comes with a retractable metal hard top , i hope the 370 Z roadster has the same type of set up

Hate to say it but I highly doubt.. Nissan will not offer a hardtop in Z yet

. I do remember reading somewhere it'll be soft top. I like hard top because it's safer (if involved) in a accident but you sacrifice trunk space with it.
