Anyones first sports car?
 
its mine, I had a dodge Ram and a BMW 318i. while the bmw was nimble, it had only 139hp, less than half of the Z.

it blows me away how tight the ride in the Z is. its indredable, it feels like you could do almost anything in it. though I know thats not totally true, its such a massive change to have such performance.

anyone else in the same boat?

Stone Z 10-27-2002 04:49 PM

This will be my third....

'93 Mustang GT
'93 Honda Prelude Si
'03 or '04 350Z

Does a Honda CRX Si count?

rouxeny 10-27-2002 04:53 PM

Yup, definitely my first sports car. Actually, it's the first sports car in my whole family.

daytona350z 10-27-2002 04:54 PM

my first sports car, aside from my dads previous car the Z3 2.8

fdao 10-27-2002 05:47 PM

Yup, first "true" sports car for me! Had a 96 Prelude Si, it was a pretty good "sports coupe"; then a 01 Acura CL-S, a pretty darn good grand touring car after some modifications were done. But the Z, now this is something else!

lazyZ 10-27-2002 06:20 PM

Yes, my first, true, performance sports car. The first car I ever owned years ago was a Fiat 850 Spider. It was a very tiny, two seater, 4 cylinder convertible. I guess a sports car in the broadest sense of the word, but it was more like a miniature, circus clown car now that I think back to it.

vanstorm16 10-27-2002 06:22 PM

Its my first true performance car as well. I have owned a '96 Ford Probe GT but nothing on the level of this type of performance. Only a couple more weeks.... can't wait.
:D

ZiggaDigga 10-27-2002 06:24 PM

Yup, my first sports car, or at least it will be when it arrives.
Had a couple of "muscle cars" in the past, but those don't count.

themyst 10-27-2002 06:25 PM

all my cars were "sports" cars
 
Well... sports "coupes" but you could say they're sports cars...

Had a 91 Honda Prelude Si, then a 2001 Celica GT, now a 350z. :)

I had an '88 Mazda RX-7, and it was real fun....not a LOT of geddy up, but enough. Talked my friend into buying a '90 Turbo RX-7, and thought that was just the ****. So I'm way overdue for a true sports car and am looking so forward to delivery in a week or two. Won't be as nice as another buddies 348 Ferrarri, but it didn't cost me as much as a house either!

jacen2y 10-27-2002 08:30 PM

first sports car...
 
plus first car with my hard earned money...couldn't have picked a better car to be my first:p :p :p

D'oh 10-27-2002 09:59 PM

My first sports car, too.

2003 350Z
1995 Ford Ranger
1984 Nissan Pickup

Quite a change from my other two vehicles.

-D'oh!

PhoenixINX 10-27-2002 10:09 PM

Grew up in sports cars...

`84 Prelude, `88 Prelude, `94 GSR...

irishfan 10-28-2002 08:42 AM

The first one I have ever owned. I spent a lot of time driving my best friends '78 RX-7 (wow that makes me feel/sound old) in high school, but it's not the same as bringing it home every night.

350zSpeedRacer 10-28-2002 08:47 AM

This will be my third, maybe fourth if you count the clunker I'm driving now (actually it spends more time in the shop than it does on the road).

1980 Corvette w/ a 383 stroker (I know it's muscle, but it handled great after a ton of work)

1998 Camaro SS

And the maybe is my 840ci--yes it is a clunker-- I just got it back last Friday only to give it back to the shop the very next morning!

The rest of my vehicles have been trucks, and I can't wait to get another one for my daily driver and turn my Z into a ***** on wheels!!!!! :D

PARP96 10-28-2002 03:11 PM

first sports car
 
yes this would be me first true sports car. i have an integra
gsr. and a lexus. this is my midlife crisis car.:icon04: :icon4:
i want my zzzzzzzzzzzzz

jjb350z 10-28-2002 03:20 PM

This is definatley my first sports car and I have not been disappointed. I previously owned a 99 Saab 9-3 Conv. and a 96 Maxima. Both were good cars but nothing they had prepared me for this. What a lot of fun the Z is...:D

devaraj 10-28-2002 03:50 PM

Oh Yeah !! I have been driving Toyota Celicas (sport coupes) for many years, but the 350Z totally blew me away. I can't wait for my March delivery.

LA-Z 10-28-2002 04:27 PM

81' Benzo 300-Turbo D (OHHH TURBO!)
94 300ZX 2+2
93 300ZX TT
88 IROC Z28 5.7
03 350Z!!!!

So, the 2 previous Z's were sports cars, and like 12 years ago the IROC was a sports car, (and still fast as hell, 330 lbs/ft torque can do that.) But nothing beats the Z33, ok the Z32 TT comes close though.,
