Me to. I wanted one before I got the 350 and I'm still toying with the idea of trading up.

Stock the Z handles like ****.. Body Roll and Flex like a **** .. I always hear people says the 350z is a great handler these people dont know what a good handling car really is!!!

Modified Cobra with suspension Mods i could only imagine .. The Cobras have IRS i believe rite??

Welcome to the site, Lance. Fine looking Cobra you had.

I grew up in Michigan but spent a lot of time in your part of Missouri in the 50/60s. My mother's family lived near you: Monnet, Cassville, Purdy. Fell for a girl in Monnet and almost married her. Always liked it down there.

I was talking about stock, somehow I don't think a stock cobra handles that great.

Don't know what you've driven, but a stock Z handles pretty well IMO, and this is compared to M3, 335, supra, TT etc

Ive driven two off the above The M3 Competition Pkg and the 335i Coupe.
The E46 M3 puts the Z to shame no comparasion whatsoever in Handling.. My head hurts after i drive it though unlike my Z . Lets just say i take my cars to the limit and for a 30k the Z is just fair. Off course its not fair there is a big price difference vs a 60k M
I cannot push the Z unlike i did with my friends M and have a secure feeling.
335 and a Z is a better compared in handling ..

You went from a Cobra to a 350z..........did you lose your job or something? J/K! Enjoy your Z ( but something tells me you'll be back in a Cobra real soon). Welcome to the site, there are tons of good people on here and a couple of idiots too( )....enjoy!

Thanks for the welcome everyone!

The reason I got the Z was I wanted a change.I had a Mustang for about 6 years and was getting burned out driving the same thing.I've always liked the 350z since they came out and decided I'd give it a shot.My wife has an Altima and loves it and I got a damn good deal

Wow, I thought I was the only one who went from Terminator to Z. Although I bought my Z with daily intentions, and that's a role that the Cobra just doesn't do. The lack driving fun of the Cobra prompted me to sell, and just enjoy the Z and save money. The snake looks great.

Although my Cobra had a few more things done. Aluminator, whipple, wieght redux, etc. The aggressive stance of yours looks perfect.
