Default 350Z Dark Blue

Will post pics soon.

I just traded a Mazdaspeed6 for the 07 Z. The car is extremely sweet all around. I was a little bit upside down on the loan, and I paid for it a little bit. Enthusiast is worth the extra funds.

What are the most importants things for someone completely new to the Z to know? I am being gentle with the engine and varying the rpm as much as practically possible.

So far I am very glad I traded the 6.(even though supposedly a c*nt hair "slower" according to Car and Driver)

Welcome.

I just had an encounter with a Mazdaspeed6 today. He thought we were racing, but I had no idea. He sped off fairly quickly at the stoplight only to jam on his brakes 3 blocks later b/c of a cop on the corner. lol.

I don't know. I am in virginia perhaps that is the difference. My salesperson drives an RSX maybe that's the reason? I think some dealerships have keen access to DMV records and processes. However, I was at the dealership for about 6 or 7 hours. When I left the cashier chic gave me my plates.
