Default Kicking it off...

I figured I would kick off the new owners section here with my new Pearl White 370Z.

I used to own a 2003 350Z, but sold it about a year ago, opting for the public transit route. Being an enthusiast though I couldn't stay away for long.

After much anticipation, and skepticism, I have been quite taken with the 370Z. I know it is hip and trendy to think the car is ugly, but I happen to think the car is the perfect embodiment of what a modern Z car should be. In my mind this is what the 350Z should have looked like. In person the proportions are breathtaking, and it seems to get a very positive reaction from others.

I put in an order through local dealer here in Walnut Creek about a month ago. My initial wait time was 8 - 10 weeks, but the same car I ordered happen to come into our zone a couple months early, so I took delivery last Saturday morning.

The car is Pearl White, base w/Sport Package 6MT.

I have about 280 miles on it so far and I have been nothing but impressed with the vehicle. MUCH more refined than my 03 350 in every way, an absolute joy to drive. I have yet to really get on it as I am still in break in, so I can't give a detailed driving impressions.

Without further adieu...

(please excuse the shˇtty iPhone pic, better quality shoot forthcoming)

White is such a sexy color on the 370Z. Makes the rear end look really good! Congrats on the new car!

The pictures definitely don't do it justice...it is a much better looking car in person. I stopped by the dealer the other day and saw one. Very nice. Don't particularily care for the suede on the armrest and door panels though. Nor do I like the dummy plate on the 4th brake light. They should've just made it a brake light. Congrats on the new ride...hope you enjoy it.

Thanks much everyone, after just under 500 miles on the car I am enjoying it more and more. After the break in it is scheduled for a week down at Z Car Garage for some slight, tasteful mods to try out

Welcome back to the Z community!!! SexZ looking.

I for one love the way the 370Z looks and ignore the haters lol. I do think that the 370Z must have the factory spoiler though -- looks 10x better than without.
