What's after the Z? What do you plan to buy?

GT-R? I swear that thing feels like it can accelerate faster in the rain than my Z could on dry (I am not joking).

I love my Z, but I think it's time to move on. A used 997 Carrera S will sure be nice. But I won't be surprised if I end up getting something more practical (and boring) like a 5 Series. I've spent a lot on home improvement in the past few months. I must admit, spending $2,500 on a front door is more satisfying than purchasing any car mod for the same price.

I'm on Z #2 but I could possibly see a situation in which I sell both my Z and my Honda Fit and get an IS-F.

But then again most likely I will just get a older Lexus GS next and go full VIP setup instead and keep my other 2 cars

Angelo! do you still have the Z32 and the Z33 or did you get rid of the Z32?

/Angelo350Z/

What's up Waizzz?! Wait, you're on your second Z? I don't recall seeing the first one. Hmmm, IS-F or VIP'd GS? That's a tough choice. Can't go wrong with either one though.

I still have the Z33 but sold the Z32 back in April. I also sold the LMGT4s unfortunately. Long story short, they ended up in storage with a friend in Japan. Someone offered me $3K and that was that.

I've though about this a lot after going through last winter with 2 cars and my Z stuck sitting outside all winter I'm trying to move to San Diego or San Francisco in the next 2 years but if I don't I will likely be going the WRX STI route.

that sucks. wat you need is a garage for your Z to hibernate in.

Hard to say much without knowing you personally. So much depends upon what you want out of your car, both your needs and your wants, and what your finances are like. Also, for instance, some people define a lot of themselves by their car and probably can justify spending a decent amount, while others just need something to get around in, and probably should stay inexpensive and spend their money elsewhere. Some people want fun and think they want 300hp, but what they really want is smaller, cheaper, and more fun.

Also, I don't know about your winters, but a FWD car can do just fine, especially if you leave room for dedicated snow tires.

For me, I also tire of having two vehicles. One sits outside, etc. I'm actually trading in my Eclipse for a lease on a Corolla later this week at a pretty decent OTD price/mo.

For me, the Z has been a bump up in car price, and while I love the car and think I've gotten my money's worth, it also reminds me that I only drive it half a year and could do other things with the money saved had I done something else. No regrets, but it's a thought. I doubt I'll do my fun car this expensive ever again, and while the Z is no muscle car, it has given me enough of a power bump that I'm not sure I'll ever need to have something more than it. I do slightly wish I had gotten on the bandwagon earlier than later in the lifecycle, only because I now see the 350z/civic si drivers getting 370z and uglifying them.

Honestly, my eyes would be on a new Miata or whatever Honda puts out for an s2k replacement, and maybe a solid crossover SUV or something as a DD. For now, I can't swing that as I'm still paying down the Z, but that's sorta my 5 year plan. I don't need child seats and none on the horizon, so...sedan is kind of a waste of money and material on me. Crossover at least lets me put down the rear seats and reap some value.

As such, I can't much plan on what's out now being relevant in 5 years.

Still, your list is pretty good; I would look at the Audi, BMW, Infiniti, and Lexus if I were in that list. The Caddy just doesn't do it for me. I'd also want to go slightly cheaper only so I can replace the ugly bits on the cars with AM parts or bolt-on mods to make them slightly more unique than the other 50 I see every day on the roads.

I want to see if I can fit my fat a$$ in a Z4. If I can shoehorn into it, I just might pick one up.

There is nothing before or after Z. Z is love. Z is life.

I have only 3 cars in mind. A new Viper srt in orange. A lime green Aventador, or an alpha 16 gtr. I should have one of those some time in the future.

Already planned, I will do European Delivery on an M4 next year. All the reasons I didn't by an M3 previously have been addressed in the M4.

I'd also like to add that Nissan has completely lost me for now. I've bought new from them since 2004 a 350z, G37, GT-R, and 370z. Infiniti has completely lost their way with the G37/Q60 long in the tooth. Same with the 370z. Nissan has been so distracted with the Cube and Juke that the FR-S drove right up their tailpipe.

There are a ton of cars I would love to own outside of the Z, but for looks and performance it's hard to beat at it's price range. Currently I'm hot on the Jaguar F-Type. Gorgeous car with good performance. I would like a little more luxury and am starting to get to the point of not caring for out of this world performance. I don't go to the track anymore, so it's been less of a need as of late. Otherwise the C7 is a pretty penny.
