Good luck and start saving for mods.

Hey man I did the same thing when I had my Mustang... I was actually on here to check out what the z's were all about with no intention of getting one. Then I kept on reading about how much people loved them, with a few threads here and there about tire feathering. But what I got out of this forum was the passion people have for their Z cars and the tradition behind it. I just fell in LOVE with the car and wanted to be apart of the tradition. I just had to get one, and I did. You'll get there no worries!! Like people have stated, if you plan to mod, start saving!

Aaah, a match made in heaven. So cool.

One of the zed clubs I belong to a lot of the guys have had their 240's, 260's & 280's & first generation 300's from brand new. The tradition, history & stories behind zeds, just absolutely rocks. Would be cool to think in another 20 or 30 years time zed enthusiasts still coveting their 350's and of course the older zeds.

its like those guys who drive 07 eclipses who swing in here to say "hi" when they are really looking to buy a Z.

Hopefully, we can all come together as a united race one day....and if that's far away in the 25th Century, so be it.

I know I WON'T be here when that day comes though

I remember when I first drove a Z...was 17 years old and it was a brand spanking new 1971 Z green in color with tan seats....what a beautiful car...needless to say my dad knew better and his 17 year old son didnt need that much power to cruise around in but the test drive has been in my mind ever since. Now this Saturday at the young age of 52 I am going to pick up my new Z and my son who is almost 18 will drive it home for me. I hope his first drive in the Z is as memorable as mine was many years ago. Still love those 240s....what a gorgeous car they were then and are now. The 350 is also a gorgeous car and carries on the tradition.

The strong tradition of the Z will keep its legacy going. I had a '78 280Z over 15 years ago and to this day, I can kick my a$$ for selling it!!! My wife & I just had our 1st kid and obviously, there was no room in the Z for the three of us so we had to sell it!!! My itch for another Z has been burning for years so I ended up giving in to the urge and bought me a new '06 just recently. It's a keeper . . .

Yeah, it happens to me all the time. I mention I have a 350z, and someone will chime in with hey I had a 240 (or something) when I was younger, boy was that thing fast! I know its going to happen to me, I'm going to hear some kid talking about his Z and I'm going to be like I had a 350z when I was younger, but I'll probably still have mine!

I've been on this forum for months, and I check it very often

I just got my Z 2 weeks ago and stopped going on the Zilvia forums for quite some time now

yeh i do photoshop so ive even started to plan out what i want everything to look like...i want the vertex front bumper with the ing sides n back...lol..the photoshop looks awesome..

what i love about this forum is that there aren't a lot of cocky/stuck up a$$holes...on the tiburon site they all talk **** about how they beat Z's, evos, blah blah.....they seem to have this idea that they are the best cars b/c u see so few of them....

well now that i don't look like a dork for spending so much time browsing this forum, ill start to ask questions and give my input..

long live the Z...i post alot over at zcar.com and the older model Z guys are Z diehards. Vokal, welcome to the club, we'll eventually. You'll find there's people that are d!cks on every forum...theyre here too, but for the most part i think people are pretty sincere around here.
