Default VERY slowly convinced...

....to buy a Z. =)
I started lurking on this forum darn near 3 years ago... I was in college then and couldn't and couldn't afford something like this.
Besides.. I had to wait for the seventh year of the decade (See Below).
My last 3 cars?

'87 Mazda RX-7 Turbo (Fast with Horrible Gas Mileage)
'97 Honda Del Sol Si (Slow with Fantastic Gas Mileage)
'07 Nissan 350z (Fast with Mediocre Gas Mileage)

the 7th year thing is just a coincidence.... PICS!

VERY slowly convinced...-newz_001.jpg

VERY slowly convinced...-newz_003.jpg

Edit: You can see the Sol in the background of the first pic... it has to sleep outside now that the Z has taken over the carport.

I kind of like the hood.. I didn't realize it had changed until I went to the lot... but it grew on me immediately.
Which theory do you mean?

What are you smoking are you high? That must really be some good **** Anyone that says that the 07/08 hood is ugly is just a plan hater. Dont pay him any attention he wishes that he had a 07/08 model because if he really could afford it he wouldnt be talking smack. Nice ride congrats. Welcome to the PPW famliy it's my favorite color.Dont take haters like that to heart.

It definitely is not ugly.

The Z looks awesome with the new hood.

The new hood sucks. If the hump was more distinct and angled, it would look better, but it contrasts too much with the rest of the car's lines. Compared to the shape match puzzle boards, it's like trying to fit a circle into a square piece. It just doesn't flow.

does my car leak oil?

Regardless, there's no tsb for their last minute hood design. Don't be jealous that FI 03-06s are potentially faster(with the limiting factor being traction and not whp), or at the very least, equally as fast, as your 07/08

Stock vs Stock I dont think so. And once the TT kit is ready it's going to kick some serious a$$. But if you want to believe your theory then more power to you.
