If my car were stock, I'd seriously consider selling/trading it for a 370Z. Fortunately, and unfortunately, I have way too much money, time, and effort into my 350Z to get rid of it... at least not for a 370Z

Idk what I want with my car right now lol...

I can buy a 370z but if I don't I can just do a short block build and turbo it.. I think Id rather have a turbo 350z than a NA 370z...

Then again I keep eyeing the damn C6 but I just can't afford it

Still quite happy with my 350 and it's especially nice not having car payments at the moment.

I plan on keeping my car for quite some time. i have only started to modify my Z. there is way to much potential for my car to give up on it now for only a few more ponies, stiffened chassis, updated body styling and interior... it will beat me up that i will not have the latest and greatest but i appreciate the fact that i have done all of the work on my car myself.

I'm planning on replacing the front driver's seat - worn side bolster, getting the wheels refininshed and adding an aftermarket stereo. My 350 is stuck with me for awhile, so I'm going to spruce her up a bit.

Drove my Explorer for about two weeks saying that I was gonna sell the Z. Took it out of the garage and drove to work and almost slapped myself.

Don't ever wanna sell it. (today )

The forum has a life of its own. Its a living breathing thing.

Old members will fall aside as their lives change. New enthusiasts will take their place. Some old members will return to the fold. Popular members from 2003 and 2004 are gone and forgotten. Today's members will also be gone in a couple of years.

i like the new 370. if i had a choice back in '07, i probably would've picked it over the 350.

however, my car now holds sentimental value that cannot ever be replaced. although i may buy another car in a few years, i don't ever think i will trade-in or sell my z. the general will either keep pulling daily duty for me or i'll send him to pasture and make him into a weekend or track car. either way, i will own my z for as long as i can.

as for this forum, there are still plenty of guys/gals here that stuck around after trading-in or selling their 350s. For example, highwayspeed has a freaking 911 now and most mods have gtrs. i know when i gave my rx8 to my wife, i left the rx8 forums to come here and learn how to work on my z. hopefully, my next car will not 'need any mods.'

if/when i do start looking into another car, it probably won't be another z...unless they do a remake of the 300zxTT that is affordable.

i have wet dreams of owning a 911 turbo...

Both the Z and this site are here for the long run.

I may buy another car (Shelby Mustang) one of these days but Da Brick ain't goin' nowhere!

350z looks +10 better then the 370z.... my op.... i just felt like saying that + i looked at it this way when i bought the 08z for 22k.. and i coulda got in a 370 for 31k..
that extra 10k can go into mods on my 08z which will just make it so much better then 370 in performance

+1 , but soon will have another car payment. Not going to be a replacement for the Z, just a DD, and turn the Z into weekend use only.

Want to keep my 350 until it's paid off. Have gone through too many cars in the past 9 years, it's time to not have a car payment for once. Plus the new 370 doesn't have heated side mirrors
