In my eyes, when I sat in the car, and looked at it, I knew I wanted it. Honestly didn't take a test drive in the 06 the dealer had. If that makes me a fool, so be it, but I bought a new 07 and knew the numbers as far as speed/acceleration/handling went. Enough is published. As soon as I sat in the 06 that had the same interior, I knew I wanted this car. My first drive was in my actual purchase, and it has worked out well. I tell people I lost my 350Z cherry to my own car.
Ultimately, I don't know if they will part with it for a few days. I don't think that would be realistic to expect them to part with it unless you are putting something significant down. How do they know what a 20 year old might do to the car in 2 days, regardless of how honest and truthful you may be. If they do, pretty trusting of them.

Well I'm about to go test drive me some Z's

Have one appointment in 45 minutes at one dealer, then another appointment about 2 hours after that at a different dealer.

Will be my first time driving a Z. Will post feedback and hopefully I can grab her and become a larger member of this community

You should buy a 2007 base model Z. Why spend extra on stuff you don't need. Do you really need the extra help on driving? Use the money on paying off the car.

I'm 6'1 225 pounds with broad shoulders, I find the seats to be very uncomfortable for me. I drive a 2005 touring model z. If I were you, I would rent a Z for one day and take a very long drive in it. I love the car, but I hate the seats and the cheap Bose radio.

lol Davidv, this is a really big *** HINT, check it out.

I'm not a genius, well actually I could be considered one, anyways, the top line on the beginning of the thread leads me to believe the he doesn't own a Z. I appreciate the hint, do you have any hints on making me a multimillionaire?
