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

Chuck33079 · 05-25-2014, 03:33 PM

I've got a long time left with the Z. No plans to sell it at any point. I can see myself adding a beater for a daily driver. Something like a $1k salvage title Craigslist pickup.

E39 M5 with an ESS supercharger, BBK, and coilovers. In fact, that's what I'm moving to next week.

Dodge Challenger R/T.

Works for me!

Keeping z34 and waiting for new design z35!! Hopefully it look bad a$$

axmea? · 05-25-2014, 05:46 PM

A used Porsche GT 3. Someday a reality.

falconfixer · 05-25-2014, 05:49 PM

I'll look at the new Z35 when it comes out but most likely lean towards an M-series.

kenchan · 05-25-2014, 06:00 PM

i need rear seats during the week and some weekends, so i will be keeping my Z for a while and replace my other cars in the mean time.

kenchan · 05-25-2014, 06:03 PM

hell, i luv my Z... ive not thought about selling her at all...

Mark1010 · 05-25-2014, 06:54 PM

I will continue with the dual car thing. I don't find the additional expenses to be that much of a burden. To each their own I suppose.

RonRizz · 05-25-2014, 07:04 PM

Owning 2 cars is a burden?? I currently own 5, and always on the lookout for another great deal!! Haven't given much thought to what comes after the Z.

If I could afford an Aventador, I'd get one in a heartbeat. That beast is hot as hell (next to the Veneno), the interior is what I want in a car.

The 370Z is nice, and if the next Z is good, I might get that. Otherwise, I might try to save up for Toyota's FT-1 if it's good too and not insanely expensive.

But I am now thinking of luxury and power like you too.

Nargrakhan · 05-25-2014, 08:34 PM

Unless I win the lotto or somehow see a massive paycheck upgrade, the 370Z is probably the most expensive car I'm willing to own. Need to save money for those retirement years... On the other hand, I might trade it in for the 2015 NISMO version and leave it stock. My unborn grandkids might inherit that beauty one day.

This being said, I'm eyeing the Nissan IDx. If the production car doesn't deviate too far from the concept version, and in the FR-S price range, it just might be my new "everyday" car (the Z is just for impressing the dates and weekend sprints on the cop-free backroads).

Right now I have two vehicles, a newer plain jane daily driver, and my nice weather 370Z. More recently I have decided that having two cars is a bit of a pain in the ***. Two sets of insurance, one car ends up parked on the street etc. I feel like streamlining to one vehicle that does it all. While I love the Z it's not ideal.

Top Choices:
Bmw 228i Coupe (wish it came with AWD)
Bmw 335xi Coupe AWD
Audi S4 AWD
Audi S5 AWD
Infinity Q50 AWD
Infinity FX50 AWD
Caddy ATS Coupe AWD
Lexus IS 350 AWD

You can see by the list I want 300+ Horsepower, AWD and all would have to be 2012-2014 model years. All of them work well all year round even in the snow which we get too much of here!!

Just looking for input, suggestions and would love to hear from others feeling the same way.

While I understand why you posted it in the General Discussion section, It doesn't belong there, and as such has been moved.

General Discussion section is meant for 370Z discussion only, This a 370z forum after all.

scorp38 · 05-25-2014, 08:48 PM

I would definitely get a Lexus is350f or the q50 if I wanted a 4 door. Bmw, Audi are not the most reliable and need meticulas maitnance, to be somewhat reliable. Cadillac is a fing joke motors are good but I wouldn't waste my money on that ****. That's my 2 cents.

Personally after owning Z's for coming on 30yrs

I may move on to another brand unless the 2016 Nismo tickles my fancy
