Maybe you 2 love birds could trade?
In Savannah, there are parts that are below sea level, would that mean the car will outperform the numbers that Nissan posted?
Peace!

Lets see...I'm not sure about the latest models but if you are dealing with first year or earlier models theres a bit of noise in the cabin (at least for me, and im trying to pinpoint where they are - search has come up w/ a few threads and they're helpful). If you put the car through its paces, especialy in the twisties you start to feel the bias on the front of the car and at times I find it disagreeing with the direction i want to go. Its a very good value and I love my car to death...but start asking yourself the right questions about what you want to do with your car: putting it through twisties, which it will do - but if you're going that direction you may want to consider a lighter weight car. If you're looking for great pull and pick-up, and rock solid stability on the highway then the z is perfect.

oh yeah, regret the $$$ the aftermarket makes off us. I've had many other car enthusiast look at our prices and go: ouch .

I regret using it as my daily driver for the first 1.5 years of ownership. Bought a Frontier for my everyday driver about a year ago. So now I have an '03 with just 30K miles on it, now I only drive it on the weekends and vacations, much mo' betta.

My regret is not gettin' the Grand Touring. I wish I had the Brembos and the chrome wheels though I am gonna' put 20s on mine but that would at least make my wait a little easier. Those brembos look so nice. Lastly I love Silverstone but that damn Interlagos Fire looks so hot on the Roadster. I had a chance but it's all good.

I regret not driving a MacLaren SLR, but that is my own fault for being too poor...not the Z's. Next question.

One regret is the trim level I bought: Enthusiast.

Although Enthusiast is best bang for the buck,
I should've bought a Touring...I sure do miss leather seats and
power seats...
It gets pretty annoying when girls always ask why a 30K car
don't come with leather seats, etc...blah blah..
I know girls only care about leather seats and all, but it's still
damn annoying having to explain I need to get higher trim to get
leather seat and all that nonsense.

I know I can always get aftermarket leather seats, but I would
still prefer OEM leather seats.

No clue what your first line means, but yes, below sea level is like getting a small turbo boost, however, unless it's at least 1000' below sea level, I doubt you would notice it, and I think only the dead sea is that far below sea level.

No regret at all. If you have doubts, you need to sell.
