I still have no idea.

I KINDA want american muscle but then again I already am weary of driving my Z in the wet let alone a big 5.0+ V8...unless muscle handles rain better than a Z because of the weight.

only problem in belgium is.

dodge: pulled out of europe
chevrolet: pulling out of europe in 2015
Ford: bringing out the mustang for the very first time in europe in 2015.

I KINDA REALLY want a challenger but that would mean having to import one.

I am also looking at a subaru WRX STI because AWD is kinda nice for rain and snow.

parents sold their GT-R and are bringing it to its new owner tommorow. they still don't know what to get.

currently the options are. a new 2014 GT-R, a jaguar F-type R(the 5.0 supercharged V8) or a corvette C7.

I kinda totally want them to get the corvette since I am sick of the GT-R by now I have been staring at that GT-R for 5 years now.

originally they were planning to go for a GT-R nismo but according to the dealership it might actually take a fricking 18 months to get here if unlucky. I am pretty sure that the dealership is just being a **** though.

Ideally, a yellow C7 Z06 but given a choice between a house and a car, I'd choose a house.

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.
First Z was back in 2005 when I worked for Nissan, way before I even had a real camera.

Glad to hear you still have your Z33!

Seems like my parents have decided on the 2015 ZO6 to replace their 2009 GT-R(which is already with it's new owner)

too bad it wont be out till like feb-april. but apparently there is a guy coming in with a AT C6 and my parents might buy that from the dealership till they recieve their Z06 and then sell it back.

C7 is no real option since they don't want to drive stick anymore after the GT-R. belgium is a horrible country with 5 bajlion lights and traffic jams. its tiring to drive stick. hell I get tired driving our laguna and that is flimsy weak and easy to use clutch. let alone a sport clutch. The dealershpi already told us that if the C7 had AT it would of sold alot more since alot of people don't WANT MT anymore and apparently in the states the C6 AT sold double the amount of the MT option.

on my replacement. I am still thinking about that WRX STI. but then again. it IS MT and my fiancé probably will get a AT only license here when she moves here so I STILL don't know what to do. should I be all "eh im gonna drive around with her all the time anyway" or just stick with the Z till subby wakes up and offers AT

or I go herpy derp and get myself a new dodge RAM. haha me driving around that boat I would never park ever again.

2016 Focus RS if it comes out in the US!! Or STi if they come out with a hatchback. I'm looking into hot hatches to be able to go places with my two dogs, otherwise I'd be so down down for a next gen Z with some nice recaros.

I tired to get a Cayman GTS, they are only sending one to each dealership and you had to pre-order. Needless to say at 95k (try to order one cheaper) I decided it just wasn't worth it.

Sounds like a long day!

Btw those with the deeper pockets and only looking at coupes, consider the cayman GT4. That thing is going to be killer...

I bought an Si and am dreaming of retirement. The Honda is just a commuter car.

I have driven an 06 Mustang GT (300 hp) for 5 years, then a 2011 Mustang GT with Coyote 5.0 412 hp for 4 years which I just traded for my new Z. With all season radials, you should have zero trouble in rain...I recommend continental DWS. I'll probably be putting DWS on this Z before winter here as I don't think I want to be driving summer performance tires on slick roads. Of course you can MAKE it lose traction, but normal driving not an issue in the rain with the mustang and correct tires.

I would have traded into a 2015 Mustang GT, but I absolutely loathe the way they changed the body style to appease the international market...to me, it looks like they tried to design a BMW Mustang hybrid. I am hoping by the time I'm ready to trade the Z (assuming I don't completely fall in love with the Z and upgrade to Nismo or Roadster), Ford will have regained their senses and gone back to traditional mustang styling!
