Default Buy another Z?

I just totaled my 350z due to losing control in the rain and landing in a ditch... I was so close to finally start pouring money into her, and she was looking BEAUTIFUL.

The damages weren't too crazy... but the car is considered totaled mainly because the airbags went off.

I don't want any other car, the 350z is the perfect UNDERDOG of the car world. I had a 2008 6 speed with art pipes and that car MOVED. So many people believed I had so much more work done than I actually had. I beat all the other HR's, or all Z's (370z's included) in general locally, by more than 1 CAR. No one knew why mine was so much faster but it was.


I absolutely love the 350z, but I'm afraid if I buy another one it wont be as fast as my old one was, what would you guys recommend i do? Move on to another car? Or get another Z and hope it was as nasty as my old one.

I just got the roof wrapped 2 days before the wreck ;(

it sounds like you want another z...I don't exactly know why your posting here no one can make up your mind on what you want besides you. if you want another get it, if you don't then get something else. your not going to find very many options for competition at the same price range as what youll get a z for. as for yours being faster it could be a driver mod. the biggest aspect of performance in a car is the driver.

It's a long way off, but I doubt you'll find one with fewer miles.

wow how the hell is it even possible to have a 7 year old car with under 4k...22k seems a bit steep id give them 19.5k and call it a day.

Buy another!

I wish I bought an hr instead of my 2004.5 touring. I was young and the price was right. Plus it had 30,000 miles and 100% stock.

Definitely buy another one? I bought my HR over a year ago and haven't looked back! Glad I did my research and bought it over the DE!

I really want another one. If you guys wanna check out my page and see thousands of races i had with an exhaust only HR UNTUNED.


Srt8 challengers (392 6.4L) , heavily modified STi's, etc etc.


www.youtube.com/illinfinitig35

lot of people say its my driving that made it faster, but i've switched cars with another HR with more boltons/ slight tune and still couldn't get aroind MY OWN car.

If I get another, it's gonna be the same color and same year. just has to be... pearl white is so beautiful.

Oh ****. I've seen tons of your vids on you tube man. Good races! Never knew that was you....damn good driving... That's why I love the hr350 it's a sleeper... What kinda exhaust did you have?

We have a local guy here with an auto HR350 art pipes only handing people thier ***! He did MOTUL fluids in the tranny and rear end... That ****ing auto shift so damn fast.... I may ditch my 6speed here in the next week and go auto. I found one already with only 50k white, I figure fluids, valve kit and it will rip.

If you're so concerned there was something else done to your car to make it faster why don't you just buy the car back from insurance and rebuild it? There are always airbags floating around here that sell for a lot cheaper than retail...
