Default Ok so I bought a new 350z, now what?

...looks like a great forum!

So I bought an 08 z roadster grand touring, kinda spur of the moment, (or after a 20 min test drive ...I always liked the car, and recently turned 40 AND got seperated from my wife of 10yrs!

So my question is....what can I do to it? what is this car capable of?

Drive it! Plan some road trips to places with wiggly roads and nice scenery. Join a local "Z" club. They do lots of show and shine, track events, "Z" night out, day trips, etc.

Have some fun with her.

Good choice on the new purchase . The possibilities are endless with the Z (the potential for aftermarket parts for the HR however, haven't reached it's full potential). I would advise to keep it stock for a while. Get used to her handling and power. Once ya have a good feel of what she is capable of in stock form, then start the modding. Just my

Just know that the aftermarket world for Our beautiful cars is Huge! Spend plenty of time doing your homework/research ect... Your car has plenty of potential, Some forum members are over the 1,000+ WHP mark. So have a great starting block to work with. Most of all... Just have fun with it! Welcome

I would hit up the Marketplace/accessory section here on the site. There are a few guys who are selling car covers at this time. I would also post in the "wanted" section of the classified as well, you will usually get good responses there. Good luck in your search...
