Time to go FI, would be cheaper than having to buy a new car even after trade in..

this is also why I've been looking at the Vipers...

To be fair tho the mustangs V6 is bigger 3.7 vs 3.5

I do think something needs to happen with my Z, but I'm not sure I want to ruin her. I like her now.

I also want another toy.

Does 2/10 of a liter make that much of a difference?

Such a nice car, too bad they don't appreciate it. Unless they store their really nice cars.

Welcome back, Ryan-san. Did you bring back some nice weather?

*looksaroundandseeswinterwasteland*

I know some don't really like the looks/style of the 370, trust me I didn't at first either...but it is an upgrade performance wise in every way compared to the 350!

I have the itch too Dave! It seems Nissan is loosing the horsepower race lately, with the exception of the GT-R. But just look at these numbers:

http://www.goodcarbadcar.net/2014/01...-year-end.html

I mean sweet Jesus, Nissan is getting pummeled by the competition. Over 80K Cameros sold in 2013, 77K Mustangs, 51K Challengers compared to 6500 370Z's. Even the G37 outsells the 370Z.

I mean I like driving a slightly rarer car but the numbers are ridiculous.

btw...Hi everyone! Just chillaxing here waiting for spring

Hi, Scott. Damn those numbers. I think people get bored easily these days, hence the jump to different platforms every few years. Most people can't tell the diff between the Z33 and Z34. So that hurts Nissan.

I still hate the fugly Camaro.

Don't worry, Scott. I like your Z.

The boys wanted to see I, Frankenstein so we saw the 5pm show. It was entertaining. I think I would have rather seen Lone Survivor.

Sad news; my softball teammate from last summer died in an accident.

He was a funny guy and a good player.

thanks.

shoulders are a little sore after shoveling the roof, back patio, and part of the driveway. Damn neighbors with their icy, snow packed sidewalks wreaked havoc on my arms and shoulders when I was using my snowblower.
