LMAO, Ryan. That got me chuckling.

Can't believe the Gophers are playing better than the Bruins.

So they are price dropping the 370 in Europe to compete with the Ft86/BRZ! Like at least a 5K drop....personally I think both cars are in different brackets! If it was a competitor like an S2000 type car or RX7 i would understand, but wtf yo.

Then again I think offering a new engine specific for the Z...and a lighter body would acknowledge why its better to go for a higher priced car than the BRZ/FT86.......just thoughts and opinions

Yeah I saw this! Lotta hype over on *******.com about it too. They aren't sure how much affect it will have on the US particularly but just the EUR car market since sales are so low.

Not that I'm in the market for a new Z, but I don't think it will affect us here. I just hope the value of the Z doesn't get so low that you have non-enthusiast types who get just for a commuter car. I do think the prices should go down a little bit, though.

I hope you're right on this. Its made me really wonder if I should wait on purchasing here in the next month or two, or wait until fall or even next year(if I can even wait that long)
I truly enjoy the crowd that the Z/G cars brings out of the woodwork. A bunch of car enthusiasts that take pride in their purchase. Z's are getting more and more rare in the northern states, which I actually like. Makes it that much more exciting when you see one.

buy an evo Lance... you need a little change, more than a 370 would be for you. Something with a turbo

the only problem comes with the owners.

Z owners are cool. as the price comes down, we get a few douche bags and punks

G owners are kind of cool... good ones here and there. Most think the infiniti badge puts them above the peasant class nissan owners

evo owners... hmm, well, refer to my flow chart

Z owners > G owners > Evo Owners

I can be cool, but don't know if I would be considered a douche... an *******, *****, etc, yes, but not really a douche.

Where did you move to again? Kristen is doing good no ER visits for awhile now, and I'm just waiting for this damn weather to turn around.

the time had come.. had to replace the oem original battery in my Z. I was going to go with another nissan one, but stopped by napa for some farm stuff and found a good deal on a red top. I know they aren't what they used to be, but given the small price premium, I figured it was still worth it.
