Default Long time nissan owner, finally got a Z

Hey all, been a longtime lurker here, finally went out a couple months ago and bought my first Z.. My fiance is the one that picked it out, both trim and color.. Yes, she's badass haha.. Drove a 240 before this that had more power, but after now having the Z, there is no way I could go back to driving a 240 again on the street even if it did have more power..

2006 track model (no upgrades.. yet)

CongratZ on the 06 lurker. Even more reason to be an active part of the forum now.

Thanks everybody, don't worry, I won't lurk much anymore.. I do have the oil consumption problem going on with the car but it's ok, soon I'll be taking it into the dealership for that.. Also had a nice clutch problem where when I launch the clutch pedal would actually get stuck to the floor.. Figured it might be air in the line so I bled it and the problem went away for the most part, but when I launch now, it sticks just a little bit which causes just the perfect amount of slippage on the launch..

That would be me haha.. Got tired of listening to people talking **** about how fast their cars were but never show up to the track to prove it.. And then we made it our raceteam (stfu-racing)..

Nice ride!

Did you know about the oil consumption before the purchase or was that a suprise? Did you get a good deal on it because of it? I would definetly get that in to the dealer ASAP and get the ball rolling on the new engine. So far I have seen no signs of consumption on my '06 (knock on wood) but I nervously check it every week or so still.
