Default Kicking it off...

I figured I would kick off the new owners section here with my new Pearl White 370Z.

I used to own a 2003 350Z, but sold it about a year ago, opting for the public transit route. Being an enthusiast though I couldn't stay away for long.

After much anticipation, and skepticism, I have been quite taken with the 370Z. I know it is hip and trendy to think the car is ugly, but I happen to think the car is the perfect embodiment of what a modern Z car should be. In my mind this is what the 350Z should have looked like. In person the proportions are breathtaking, and it seems to get a very positive reaction from others.

I put in an order through local dealer here in Walnut Creek about a month ago. My initial wait time was 8 - 10 weeks, but the same car I ordered happen to come into our zone a couple months early, so I took delivery last Saturday morning.

The car is Pearl White, base w/Sport Package 6MT.

I have about 280 miles on it so far and I have been nothing but impressed with the vehicle. MUCH more refined than my 03 350 in every way, an absolute joy to drive. I have yet to really get on it as I am still in break in, so I can't give a detailed driving impressions.

Without further adieu...

(please excuse the shˇtty iPhone pic, better quality shoot forthcoming)

Hey thanks Beka!

The new style isn't that bad once you get to know it

Hope you are well!

White is such a sexy color on the 370Z. Makes the rear end look really good! Congrats on the new car!

The pictures definitely don't do it justice...it is a much better looking car in person. I stopped by the dealer the other day and saw one. Very nice. Don't particularily care for the suede on the armrest and door panels though. Nor do I like the dummy plate on the 4th brake light. They should've just made it a brake light. Congrats on the new ride...hope you enjoy it.

Thanks much everyone, after just under 500 miles on the car I am enjoying it more and more. After the break in it is scheduled for a week down at Z Car Garage for some slight, tasteful mods to try out
