So I have had my Z for about a week, like many people here I find myself making excuses to run errands and I usually take the long way home. Tonight I was on my way back from the market and took the Z for a rip on the highway, what a F---ing awesome car this is! I am so glad that I pulled the trigger and traded in my old wheels for this.

I could sit here and type about the great handlling and how fun it is to bang though the 6 speed MT but you already know this, for me it's still a fresh feeling. I did own a 3000gt Vr4 about 8 years ago (wow, time flies) and while it was a fun car it just was much heavier and larger than the 350z, the Z just feels like so much of a true sports car and for the price these sell for it's just an amazing value. I always thought Nissan made solid cars but I was somewhat of a BMW fanatic for a while, while the 3-series had a nice ride it grew boring and felt 'regular'- I have an optimistic feeling that the Z will not get boring anytime soon. This damn car feels like a jet on the highway and it tracks the corners on the on/off ramps so perfectly. I can't say enough how I am just so pleased with this car and the way it handles, what a frigging great car, for the money this is truely the best true sports car on the road.

 

I in the same shoes, I came from a 3 series... and I have never looked back.

 

great little story. It sounds like you love your Z just as much as i love mine

 

It's an okay car.


















Jk I love the Z too

 

I would respond to your post, but I have to go tuck my Z in for the night.

 

its been almost a year of ownership and i still share the sentiments. I love fridays when i get to drive mines to work. only 2 more days, hope it doesn't snow here in NYC like tonight.

 

Welcome and congratulations.

There’s something about the 350Z that magazine critiques cant touch. All you have to do is drive one for a day. 90 percent of other drivers wonder what the hubbub is about.

 

Six years later I still give the Brick a double take when I go by it.

 

one of my favorite things to do...is to shine my car up real nice and just sit there and watch the reflections. another one is to drop it in 3rd on the freeway and rip assphalt!

 

I've also had some BMW's in my past - mainly a 540ia and X5 4.4. Love the 350...still NOT boring after 13 months...

 

Mysterious yet completely understood. Well said.

 

Had my brickyard for a little over a year now and still love it...if I don't drive it every couple hours i get in a bad mood and go off on everyone around me til i come up with a new excuse to go around town driving the Z

 

enjoy it.. i know mine cheers me up!

 

i share your enthusiasm, i love my car

 

You know that feeling, when you take the key and start it for the very first time and driving it off the dealership lot?



I still get it everytime I turn that key and hear the VQ roar.

 

yup great story. i was thinkin about getting a bmw but then Z is on my hand now =)

 

...got rid of an '04 Boxster S after a second engine failure with Boxsters.

Bought the Z as a default car, but now it has become more than that. I like its no BS look and feel. This is what Frank Bullitt would drive today.

'08 Enthusiast with ichiba spacers 15 mm F 20mm R and Tein S tech springs.

I'm a 66 year old car nut.

 

100% agreed.





I just can't wait for the Spring to invest in a quality suspension. After 8 months of owning the car, I'm now in need of better handling.

 

Everytime I come home from a long vacation, the first thing I do is Start her up and drive around. That roar just says welcome home. The first year I had the car I would have a big grin getting in the car for a 2 hour drive to work. I still get that grin once and in a while. My Z is what keeps me awake and sane during rush hour. Welcome!

 

Its like that one cadillac commercial," When you turn on your car...does it return the favor" My answer is yes....yes she does.
