Default new owner 2007

I just purchased a used 2007 solar orange Z about 2 days ago and i love it. I came from a neon srt4 and believe it or not the only thing the z lacks is power, but i am sure a few mods can do it some justice. Anyways its amazing and my first car was a 1991 300zx so i'm continuing on the Z legacy . Oh and don't mind the name i registered here awhile ago for my buddy to find a problem he was having ....

You feel that the Z is slower or just not fast enough for what it is?

Congratz on your recent purchase. Give us a couple of days shots when you can. That color looks great under the sun.

congrats on your new funky ride. BTW I love the color looks great. I had the choice between the SO or Diamond Black, i chose the black, sometimes i wish i picked the SO though...

Are you a pro photographer? the pics turned out pretty good.

lol yea thanks for the welcoming comments guys, i love the color and it really sparkles in the sun. The pix were taken with a digital SLR camera 10.1mp It had a few swirls on it when i bought it because the dealership cant detail for ****, but i clay barred it and then used one coat of Klasse all in one with my PC7424 buffer

Welcome. I just got my 35th anniversary Dec 22nd and I know what you mean about the power. It has decent pull 40-90 or so. My last ricer was AWD Eclipse turbo. The launch on those is nothing short of amazing. Before this Z I had an BMW M3 which is has more torque.

I think the thing with the Z is it has a lot more deliberate, smooth acceleration. It lacks that gut wrencing torque band that my f body (firebird) buddies have.
