I finally have a fast car!
This morning I bought a 2008 Nogaro Red Enthusiast Coupe with 6 speed MT w/ 45k miles. Where I live, these things sell quick so I'm exceptionally lucky to have found one in my favorite color. They literally just listed it yesterday, and when I got to the dealership, people were swarming around it like vultures, but it's mine now thankfully and I'm picking it up Monday.
The Z is my first sports car and my fifth vehicle. My second car just out of high school was a 92 240sx which I learned manual on so I'm not a stranger to Nissan. However, I never thought it was that fast, so I ALMOST became a muscle car guy, bought an IROC-Z, learned how to work on cars, worked on it day and night, and the car never ever worked. So ended my muscle car era. Then I bought a truck...yeah, but I wanted to put a racing kart in the back of it. College became overwhelming, never went racing much and the more I drove the truck, bright red and manual, but still a truck, I began to forget about ever wanting to drive a sports car....then I started commuting to work, and realized how much I needed a sports car. I'm really happy I bought this Z, it fits me like a glove.

Congrats!
Glad you were able to snap up your Z before others got there!
It looks like you found out something about a Z that other Z
owners know.Its a car that as soon as you open the door,get in
that seat,you feel completely comfortable.
Everything is right!
Be careful with all that added power !
Share with us your future plans.

I don't think I uploaded the 240(superblack hatchback 5spd) but here's my IROC before I sold it:
It was a cheap project car and needed new shocks, suspension, brakes, the battery tray rusted out after that right front was hit previously, so I replaced the fender and sanded out the tray, I replaced the tranny twice, ugh I don't even want to think about it. I drove it for maybe 2 weeks total.
I'm from LI in Suffolk County. I might look for a car club some time. As for my plans, I needed a better daily driver but being so much into motorsports, I'd like to do track days eventually.

I appreciate the help R350Zz33, but I like to keep my anonymity online. I mean no offense.
Anyway I appreciate the welcoming from everyone, this seems like a fun site.
