I'm 54 and have had "performance" cars since my first one in 1967. From GTO's (the REAL ones) to Corvettes. Each and every one was a "dream car" when I bought it. Loved the looks and power of them all. No matter how powerful or sleek the car is (was) I grew "less satisfied" after a while. Then came the blowers, the stroker motors etc. Even those became "mundane" after a while. I finally gave in and realized that I would never be satified with any one car 'cause every year someone somewhere comes up with a new disign that I just GOTTA HAVE. Then the cycle starts all over again. I am going to retire and move to Fl. this year and got the Z cause its fun to drive and doesn't break the bank. I guess after all this long winded babble I am saying don't let others decied what you want. Your reasons for wanting anything (car or other) are good enough for you and that is all that matters. Hope this gives you a little perspcetive. Just be happy with whatever you do! Peace

 

sry110... GREAT post. I think Im going to hang in there with the Z car.. although I despise the new hood on the 07's.. I think I might just keep my little 03 and see where it takes me.. I can always sell her and go for something else.. i have a few friends with NSX's and other cars.. ill drive them and see whats up.

 

this is very true.. even the lambo owners get rid of their cars to get something else. My dream car is the new skyline, but I'm sure the novelty will wear off after a few years.. especially after raking some mileage on it.. high mileage is a huge factor in getting burnt out with your ride.

 

Good luck! Bye!

 

Captain.....we're taking up water.....we're sinking....uhggg....time to jump

 

GET A G........ Perhaps it may make you feel like a little more luxury, or perhaps have more room with the seats in the back. Same thing a Z, just with a few more things to like

 

Have u tried to find a nice supra? Its tough for any price near a used Z. Plus the supra is getting old, kinda sucks to spend 30k plus on a 10 year old car. I sold my Z b/c i bought a house and some other plans with my GF, and now i'm ready to buy another car. I looked at everything but keep coming back to the Z. I would just go test driving for a weekend, in the end thats the only way to really realize what you want.

 

If i had a Z i would treasure it.

The supra has a lot of potential and rep... but I think the Z still looks better

 

Buy a limited production sports car.

 

Yay, welcome back.

 

If I truly wanted a car that would retain its value or go up, I'd get a BMW Z8.
