Etc. and Why. (reason)

Or you can just tell me what's posative and negative

not me. at least not yet. It took me a couple of years to save up enough money to get the car and have some set aside for mods. In that time i did A LOT of research. I started wanting red then black then was set i white. got PPW hopefully i wont change my mind again. Pretty sure i wont. i love the car i got. the color. the deal. everything.

I wanted a coupe, I got a coupe
I wanted a manual, I got a manual
I wanted blue, I got blue


When spending that much money on something you should get only what you want.

I regret get thing silverstone and not the blue or the dark grey. And I also regret not look into more of the blemishes in the car. I got it from carmax. I was overseas for 7 years and got out the military and wanted a Z. I jumped in and test drove it and damn near nutted my jeans when I when from 1st to 2nd to 3rd. My girl got jealous. LOL!!! i think down the road I will trade my 03 touring silverstone to an 07 or 08 Daytona Blue

I got a convertible, really like the look of the coupe better now. This may be because it's still cold outside. When summer comes around I'm sure I'll change my mind. For everything else about the car, I got EXACTLY what I wanted (6MT, touring, nav, Lemans sunset --drool!)... that's incredible since I bought it used and I only had to "settle" on the fact that it was a convertible.

I knew what I wanted. Spent 6 months deciding what color. initially wanted red but changed my mind 20 million times, then went ahead with red. In the end got exactlly what I wanted.

i regret not getting the touring. The 18" wheels may have been better in terms of performance, the brembo would have been nice for track days, could really use a nav, and the bose system would have been enough for me. I have an 05 enth

i almost got caught up being impatient and settling for a Z i didn't want.

I wanted DB i got it.

I wouldn't settle for an Automatic. so i got the manual

I had to wait 3 weeks extra to find the right Z. I almost got Pearl White and Silverstone, both automatics. Then a DB manual came along and i snagged it up... haven't looked back since.

I wanted the track model for the Brembo brakes, but i could not find/afford one at the time. That is my only regret, but for 5g's more I could have a killer BBK anyways!
