Default New to the Z

I am a big Mustang fan. I bought my 350Z for my step-daughter back in January. Well, long story short...I wound up getting stuck with the Z and my step-daughter moved off to college. Now I have sold my 2007 Mustang GT and I drive MY 2006 350Z Touring Roadster.....and as much as I hate to admit it....I am loving this car.....now to start my wish list for mods....have already been browsing the forums and picked up some great information...

A Z is quite different from a Mustang.Especially in the handling department.
Post a pic.Whats on your mod list so far?

I considered a mustang for a while before buying my Z, mainly because of that epic Mustang sound! But I've always loved Z's, so i got one

well the Mustang was my baby....but I was able to get more money selling the Mustang than the Z.....I noticed a big handling difference...even though I dropped the Mustang 2"....right now on my mod list is just a few visual mods...body kit, wheels...etc....way later on down the road I'll discuss an engine build and F/I....

Happy modding. Maybe your step-daughter did you a favour.

That's really nice of you to buy her a, I'm sure you hated to part from the mustang. Is there a reason she didn't take the z with her? Pics of z and the stang?

Maybe step daughter needs some defensive driving lessons, or a cushion all around whatever she's driving.
