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)

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.
