Good luck, let us know how you get on. Spend a fair bit of time going over the vehicle if you feel it's a possible.

Ya only thing I didn't like about my whole purchase experience was the amount of time and the lame *** route they had me drive the Z. "lets get on the freeway! right in the middle of morning rush hour in LA!" that wasnt a good idea I got no feel for how the car performed.

yeah I sat for 4 hours doing all the paperwork. And at the end, i find out that i can't take it home cause it's in my dad's name (who lives 2 hours away) so they have to send him the contract to sign. I got it a couple of days later though.

I've never driven a corvette but the clutch on the 350Z is definitly easy to drive.

coming from a corvette to the Z was definitly a change.

i would say the Z is one of the most unique clutch packages on the market today. Just make sure that your clutch hasnt been burned, and make the dealer do a complete inspection of the clutch and flywheel assembly.

i found out that the dip**** who owned the car before me burned my clutch and flywheel assembly, and then sold it to the dealer. i had no clue until 1000 miles down the road my clutch starts slipping.
