Default Get a another Z if totaled or stolen?

I wanted to know if anyone would get another Z if it where stolen or totaled? In other words, if the insurance paid off your Z, would you get it again? And what model? Coupe or Roadster?

I probably would. Although I think I'd take a harder look at the STI and EVO just because I never did before and I might be needed AWD if I move next year.

But in the end I think I'd try to get an 04.5 Daytona Blue Track.

Not sure.. With Tire Feathering, Transmission Problems and poor paint.. I think I would go for something more practicle like the new IS400.. That car looks sweet...
Although so far I've yet to have any problems with my 04' 6MT Roadster, but it only has 2200 miles on it.. so here's hoping I don't have any of the problems that a lot of the people on here have had.

So far my Infiniti G35 is doing ok, but its got the 03' 6mt transmission in it, so I gotta worry about that.. Plus I have lots of rattles from door panels which the dealership is having a hard time fixing (And being that Inifiniti is a upscale divison of Nissan, door rattles should not be happening) plus the factory bodykit I put on my car does not match paint wise, and they tell me theres nothing they can do about it.. Spend almost $3000 on a body kit and it has a different shade of paint, i'd expect this from Nissan/Ford/Toyota, but not from Infiniti...

Nissan's got some cool looking cars but there quality and customer service is only average at best... I think im going to give Lexus a try next time around.

I would replace my red roadster with a black one. My last two cars were black and I can't get over it. The tailights, one of the best Z design features, really show off on a black car.

I concur with this statement. Infiniti is really the Cadillac of luxury. Lexus is better is quality, Acura is higher than that, and BMW and Mercedes have far better interior quality then any Japaneses brands.

totaled??? I would have to see how the car held up and if I still thought it was safe. Stolen??? I may spend the extra money and get the roadster.

I would probably go for a roadster the second time around a buddy of mine has one and its pretty sweet. Actually, I would consider buying an auto tranny roadster anyway for cruising (with out giving my current car up) since I already have a 6mt coupe for modding.

lol i was just thinking that today at work. I thought if I won the lotto I would sell my Z and buy a super black track to mod like crazy and an auto PPW roadster for cruising... never roll with the top down and get some nice huge rims for it.

i totaled my Z last august and it took about 4 months for the insurance company to pay off the Z. i test drove a g35, nice car, but just wasn't for me. so i ordered an 05 touring leman sunset. can't wait to get it. its definately worth getting it the second time.

It looks like after some issues with the Z, some guys/gals would reconsider buying another one! That's impressive!
