Default New Z owner in Nashville

Wanted a sports car for a while now and while I was originally going for a late model ZM roadster the wife decided she wants a new home so had to tighten the budget and started looking for alternatives. Very glad I did ! Picked up this Pikes Peak White 04 Base last week and love it.ownly major downside is the noise level in the cabin from the emgine.road and tires but its something I can get over





Couple of quick shots I took when I got home with it,cant wash it yet since there is a water ban going on due to the floods. Once I get it cleaned up will take some more. It basically stock except for a cold air intake and a Pioneer Nav HU. Will definatey go for a enthusist or better model next time just for the rear end upgrade<spins the tires way to easy> But I am a older driver so not *** quick to jump on the pedal as you young fellows are,jsut wanted something fun and sporty and this fits the bill. Looking in to a moderate speaker upgrade first off since only the HU is aftermarket. Will probably keep the rest of the car stock since I am happy with the other aspects of it asside from the noise and rear end. Well thanks for veiwing and look forward to gaining some knowledge from you all.

Glad you made it through the flooding ok. Nice looking Z!

Good luck on keeping it stock. I said the same thing when I got mine last year. It didn't work out that way. lol

Looks good, pick up an aftermarket LSD, some rims and remove that grille. Oh and you will get used to the road noise, so might as well get a nice exhaust, at least it will be pleasant "noise".

Awesome, I too just bought a 350Z. Did you get that in Smyrna? I think I took that one out for a test drive. Looks great!

Lol I sure did,Nashville Motor Cars..went to look at the 05 touring but they made me such a sweet deal on the 04 base I went with it instead. I only plan on keeping it a few years then going to snag either a 2010/11 z4 or 370z. Wanted to keep the budget lower since we are going to be getting a new condo.
