Finally drove Z for the first time
Finally picked up my Z from southern washington and drove it back up to the border. Alas they didn't let me bring it over due to some paperwork issues but that should be resolved next week.
Here's my impression and some questions:
Fun drive! Got it up to around 120 in fifth but the highway was pretty busy so I couldn't do much more. I noticed the handling is ultra responsive and very sensitive to what the road condition is like. e.g. Lets say i hit a bump in the road at 80 mph, I definately feel it but the car stays controlled.
What's the handling/ride feel like in a brand new Z?
Another thing I noticed is the engine sound. When I press the accelerator it almost sounds like a turbo spool/higher pitch whine sound followed by a nice growl. Sounds cool, is this the normal Z sound?
Can't wait to drive this car more and eventually strap a turbo kit on
One other question, how do I tell the difference between the Base version and the Enthusiast?

One thing i know about the base is that it doesent have cruise controll (the buttons on the steering wheel). Oh, and the base doesent have aluminum pedals. There are more things but im too lazy to go to nissan's website (kind of like you
