I got my 350Z today. Silverstone/charcoal touring, 6 speed. I always wanted a Z, and although I'm subject to "breaking in" rules, I know this car will be a blast!

 

Congrats....post some pics when you get a chance!

 

Congrats! Enjoy the car! And welcome to the club!

 

Excellent. Enjoy your Z!

 

Here's a photo -- so far I'm enjoying the car, although it's a real change from my BMW's (I had a 540i six speed, and now have a 530i automatic). You definitely feel the road more with this car!

 

It looks great!

 

Don't worry you'll get used to the ride. It took me about 500 miles. Now everything feels good.

 

Ack I never post but I figured I'd ask you where in New York you live. I'm in Rockland but I see a lot of Nissan's with the plate things that say the car is from Geiss Nissan.

I have the same color combo as you, although I should have pushed for the orange leather. Silverstone and LeMans Sunset are definetly the best looking colors.

 

Stuart, how does the 350Z accelerate compared to your 540-6? My dad has a 540-6 and it pulls like crazy. How is top gear acceleration on the highway compared to the BMW?

 

SilverstoneTT: I live in northern Westchester, so Geis was the most convenient dealer. I had a very good experience there, the salesperson was terrific. I haven't seen any other 350Zs on the roads near me! I too am very happy with the color of the car.

97max5spd: I replaced the 540i 6 spd with a 530 automatic about 1 1/2 years ago, so my recollection isn't that great ... I will say that I loved driving that car, and the acceleration was great. It's really in a different league than the Z, which is without question much more fun to drive. You are much more connected to the road in the Z (in a good way), and the handling and the ride is, of course, much different. I'm still subject to breaking in rules (only 350 miles so far), so I haven't actually accelerated in top gear on the highway yet, but I'm looking forward to it.

 

Now Stuart whats with the 735?

 

number assigned by AOL when the internet was in its infancy.

 

i alreay have 1000 miles and it's driving me crazy just took it out

 

ha ha, I remember those days! That's a really old sn then! I never wanted to have one with numbers... it didn't feel as personal. Instead I ended up with cotmfk.... much more personal. lol (j/k)
