Default Sorry to have to say it but goodbye Z buddies.

I was once an owner of a 2003 350Z. It was an amazing experience to drive. I loved every moment of it. I had knee surgery last year and the bills, along with other bills, costs, etc., I had to trade the Z to get a Honda. Well I am back in the market for a powerful sports car again. I was pursuing another 350Z until I test drove a Pontiac GTO. I am sorry to say but it is a much more powerful and quicker car, IMO of course. I am going the route of the GOAT.

Good luck. Hope you are getting a good discount for a discontinued model like the GTO. Despite GM's many problems, this GOAT never even justified it's existance.

Hey crpav, any chance you can wait for the new Camaro or the new Challener? Might be worth it if you're going with domestic muscle.

GM is a friggin joke, i will never ever buy a GM car again after my 98's SS fell apart after only 76000 miles. the last time I was at the dealership to have numerous things fixed, i told one of the service guys, "so this must be why you guys are going to be bankrupt soon." he just snickered and said "yup"

ACTUALLY.........G.O.A.T. according to LL COOL J stands for Greatest Of All Time!! Muah-ha-hah-haaa!! JK, but I agree, wait for the camaro to come out again, those things look amazing with perfect lines to the body! All though I prefer curves over lines hence the 350z

Don't you just love when you're driving and you look in your sideview mirror and you see the fenders on the rear end. OMG, no wonder I like thick(not fat) chicks. My car is waaaaayyyyy to low for fat chicks

sorry to hear about that. good to hear that you are getting another sports car, however I don't know about a GTO. regardless of the discount you get, expect to eat huge depreciation immediately. if you need muscle car power I would go with either a mustang gt or gt500, or if you can wait a couple more year go for a camaro or challenger as someone already suggested.

93 Rx7 never hurts anyone. Only the pockets but its a nice car. Im sure very affordable for you. Seats 2 just like a Z so you still get the same feeling
