Well...I retired, 25 years law enforcement, and I have had vettes for years. 8 of them. Sold my last vette a few months ago and drove a 3 series BMW for a while just as a daily driver. Now that I am on a fixed budget, I left the vette world and decided I still wanted a 2 seated sports car to drive around every day. So I picked up an 03 350 Z. just got it today! Don't know much about them, car rides nice, love the shifter and it's pretty quick. Not the power my Z06 had but still fun to drive around town. I am here to learn about the Z and look forward to all the info you guys or galls have to offer. the Z I bought is an 03, 6 speed coupe, white with 67k miles on it. I had a 240Z, 280Z and 280ZX years ago, so i know the Z car is a great sports car for the money. Thanks....

Welcome--nice to have another adult around to offset all the young'ins buying z's. Thanks for serving the public--25 years is a long time.

Welcome - but I'd sell the 350, go back to your roots, and buy the 2014 C7 Stingray. That damn car may bring me back to American muscle - Chevy has a winner there.

Seriously, the 350z is fun but you will now suffer whp-envy when comparing to your previous car buying trend.

Thanks. just trying to cut some corners now that my income has dropped. I work part-time selling guns in a gun shop and still wanted a fun sports car to drive around. I not here to say vettes are better, I am here because for the money, the 350z is the best bang for the buck all around sports car. my last Z06 had 505hp, so I know the 350z is not a replacement, but for a fraction of the price. it is a great car. I will post up some pics of the vettes and the 350z. Thanks all for the welcome. I am a true car guy, owning dozens of sports cars throughout my life.

Having owned one of the first Z06's in 2001 (only 385 HP then), I don't miss it a bit when I get in my 350z. My Nismo puts a smile on my face every time!

Enjoy getting to know an entirely different vehicle.

Conrgrats on the Z and welcome. Nice collection of Vettes you had there. Sorry for the downgrade though.

Welcome back to the fray. Hope this Z proves to be as much fun as the other zeds you've had. Not so common the 280z you had.
