Depending on where in Oregon you are , it could be "mthoodrocker"...does it have a sticker across the windshield?

I am in Tualatin live right off of Stafford Road off of I-205. I always see an orange one, no sticker I don't think. I don't see any 350's much on the road anymore, they must not use it as a DD.

I travel I-205 a few times a week to head into the office in the Lincoln Center, so be on the lookout for me!

There's also another silver 06 Z that parks in the same garage I do.

Oh, back on topic, I'll test drive one when it's financially smart to do so. I dislike people who test drive just to say they drove it. Stay away from the one I buy!

I will be on the lookout for you, I have 35% tint with tint visor on the windshield 03 Nissan 350Z Enthusiast Stock. Have enough money to supercharge it...maybe I should just do that

Guess I could've just said picture refer to pic above

the main area where the 370 outguns the 350 is handling, and thats the main performance gain i lust after, not power, power can be added to any car, but natural handling balance has to be engineered in. just look at those slalom numbers, better than a cayman s (and those can really slalom, speaking from experience on a boxter)

you can't just throw some suspension mods on the 350 and match the 370 in handling, well maybe you can, but what happens when you throw some suspension mods on the 370...

35% tint as well, same color as yours, 06 Enthusiast, Nismo exhaust and shorty antena. Use to have hi-flow cats, then test pipes, so the car was really loud if you ever encoutered a Silver Z on the south side of 205.

Man, don't let me pull my 318 out. It has chains on, and it will beat you in straight line

Saw the red 370z in the Bellevue dealership, the car actually doesn't look that bad in person, but I'm still getting used to the front end it's slowly starting to grow on me.

And yes the grey GTR in bellevue is amazing.

I went to the Bellevue dealership to see the 370... in person I really don't like it. Don't get me wrong, there are a lot of nice improvements (mainly interior minus the jumbo cupholder); but just as many things I dislike about it as well.

For those that like it, it can be all yours for *cough* $39K + taxes, etc...
