Default LOVE this car!!!!!!

*first off, my disclaimer, i have had a few drinks.*

anyways, i love this car. seriously, i used to clown on the Z when it came out, well the 350Z anyways, because i thought it was slower than it should've been. anyways, after buying my 07, i am just in love and now i see what it's all about. it handles like a go-cart, it accelerates well (although you can't feel how fast it is) and man it looks amazing. i drive around with a half-smile all the time because i see people just staring at the car...........

anyways, maybe the car is still new to me or something, but i just wanted to express myself a tad. love this car and everything about......even the damn 3rd brake light housing squeak!

quick pic......drunken photography FTW!

i used to talk about how weak it was compared to other cars like the SRT4 and such. i know they are different, but to me, it was all about mag racing. i never drove a Z before. once i went to the dealer with my 02 Maxima (6 spd, i aint no *****, lol) and tested a Z, it was over. i had to have that car.

and that was that. i got the Z that day and fell in love all at the same time. every time i drive it, i get a smile.........sure it can't hold any luggage or hold people, but who cares? it's a damn smile generator and it does it's job well.

another "cuz im a *****" pic.............

First and foremost welcome, and congrats on a beautiful Z.

Now...here's your quote "i used to talk about how weak it was compared to other cars like the SRT4 and such"
How? How can you even begin to compare a neon to a Z?
I don't care what you call it, srt4, it's still a neon.

I'm not trying to be mean or rude, but come on.
Now that you own a Z, you have to admit that
is a terrible comparison!

Seriously NICE Z!

thanks for the comments guys, FTR, i've had the Z for a while........i was just drunk last night, lol.

as for the comparisons. quite simple really. i figured it was all about straight line speed. i mean let's face it, you can take the SRT4 ACR and have one hell of a great performing car right out of the box. again, i was looking at numbers only. i didn't get why a 20k Neon could spank a 30k Z.

once i drove my Z for the first time, i had to have it. totally different league than any FWD econo car or AWD car. now i get it. dare i say the Z has a soul?

jim

edit - i know i cant be the only doubting Thomas here........anyone else doubt the car before they drove it?

I know what you mean. They always show up at around 11am in the morning, which is when 90% of the population is working! So I need to have someone stay in the house while I'm away which is a hassle.
