Default Trading in my 03' for an 08' !!!!!!!!!!!!!

i wish i could explain how excited i am to be getting rid of my 03' ill always love it but the 07'/08's/09's are just a different kind of monster i drove one and i couldnt beleive how much quicker it felt. It also def has a better ride quality. The interior looks almost the same to me but it seemed a little less cheap in a way somehow. In any case, i cant wait to get my new Z. Ill never have to worry about tire feathering or horrbile tire roar again or my window randomly not working. THANK GOD smiley face abuse to show my excitement

First off congrats on moving up to an HR Z. Personally, i wouldn't trade up to an 08 coming from an 03. I would just use the money for the 08 to upgrade the 03. My friend drove both my 03 and an 08 and he said their is very little change. The only difference he felt was that the HR had smoother revs and slightly better throttle response.

true, but i think the biggest thing is the fact that the HR responds 'more to less.' the same mod on both engines will get you more with the HR. but i do agree, that would be an assload of money to build the 03. but having the peace of mind of a new car is very comforting

its not just the engine that im trading for, the 03 has given me some problems especially with my window and my 6 cd changer and after dealing witht that stuff for the past few years i figured its really time for it to go. If it was an 04.5 or 05 i woulda just tried to build it but with this 03 its not worth it. ya know?

The window/cd changer/tire feathering issues are all easily fixable. But again it's your $ so good luck with the 08 and have fun with it

I drove an '08 the other day... definitely not a bad trade considering it's about 4 years newer than mine.... mine is still faster though... but I don't think I will be trading for another Z... at the rate things are going in my life I'll get something else that is more practical..

2003 Track 350Z, no car payments, modded, and I like it. Decisions, Decisions, but everybody but make their own decison. I'm made mine. Remember, when it comes to speed, it's clearly marked everywhere on the roads. Congrats on the new buys and congrats on the owners that like what they have. And if you missed the "5008 Monterey Sports Car Championships "American Lemans Series" Saturday, 10/18/08, check the pictures on the G35 NorCal forum. They're excellent, also video. It's under "American LemansCar Corral Saturday 10/18/08 Monterey, Ca"

I think if your going to upgrade wait for the 370Z.Sit back WAIT!think about it,THEN if you really think its worth it do what you want.If its probloms your having with your 03 I think getting a newer Z that is 99.9% the same is just wasting money. For that amount of money FIX your 03 up and save
