What cars have you owned??

Did you sell the Z for the GTR?

I've been meaning to ask, really love it? I test drove one but it was a short drive. I liked the Z look more but the GTR has grown on me a little bit since then, still not sold on the look 100% but I can appreciate the motor and such.

How's the transmission?

02 3.8L Mustang
03 4.6L Mustang GT
06 1.8L Civic Sedan (lol)
09 370Z

And the girlfriend has a CLK 500.

yeah i sold the nismo 350 in may of 2008 for the GTR. so i dont have a Z for now. looking to maybe pick up a used 370 in the fall as a daily driver if the prices are right. im sure i will get back into one sooner or later

transmission is great no issues. love everything about it but its noises and my OCD dont mix that well

motoextreme · 01-23-2010, 12:12 AM

Thank you guys!

The Roadster goes to my new friend tomorrow, he's cutting the frame to fit the new Turbo motor in.

The Lambo, bought from Newport European, it was a very cool but obnoxious bright orange with 3400 miles (2004). Drove it home which is about 35-40 miles from Newport and clutch was slipping something horrible. Woke up in the AM excited to take her out and it barely moved. Dealer wouldnt warranty so I flatbeded it to them the following Monday at 5AM, dropped it off and blocked their driveway until they gave me my large deposit back!

2002 BEAUTIFUL 360 Spider and perfectly loaded. Bought in 2008 from Maserati of Sacramento with 1200 miles (something like that). nothing but problems, overheated twice, issues with the lights, constant check engine light issue, brake problem and sold 4 months later with 3700 miles with a clutch slip. Worst car I've ever owned in my life. Beautiful but the F1 clutch is a total pc of sh$%! New one is much better now I hear. Total $$$ pit!!!

Here's the back of her, only one I have on this computer. In my driveway and probably leaking oil (just kidding)

GTX...VERY COOL

Tell you what, when my Roadster is done in a few months how about we trade cars for a quick jog. Always wanted to see what a 240 with a 8 stuffed in feels like. If your up to it that is. I said it on another thread, I'll be around 350HP with 1900 lbs on the roadster, should be a fun little toy if I don't look like a giraffe in it

Hey Adam, you might have to wait since she's been sitting for some time, and the sensation is like a Pocket Rocket... quarter mile under 12's easy..

I hope to get her back on the road later on, she's in rough shape but she does run, check out my z album if you haven't?

mick · 01-23-2010, 12:40 AM

i am surprised about your experience with the gallardo.
some car journalist wrote that you could drive the gallardo daily because it had an audi rs6 v10 engine -- can't trust them journalists

motoextreme · 01-23-2010, 12:48 AM

I see the potential with your Z, crazy that you have an 8 in there and there's still room. Suppose the electric fans help with that too. No BS, looks like a bit of work but I see the potential. My car is off the frame so its definitely going to be a handful, I move quick though

Lambo's...you know what, I've heard nothing but great things about the motor but do a forum search on the clutches. There's guys out there putting 2 or 3 in ONE year. At 7K a pop, no thanks! Neighbor BEGGED me to take his R8 off his hands in sept of 09 but I'm so scared of the clutch I couldnt do it. Kind of glad though now, those things are down to the very low 90's now.
