Default Accidently bought a Z! :)

It was time to get a new car and my heart was initially set on a s2000. After test driving a few i was going to go back and pick up a 06 Laguna Blue Pearl
s2000 the next day. The next morning, for some strange reason, i had to make a comparison with the 350z before i made this big purchase. I never even considered the 350z because i was so tightly integrated into the Honda brand after driving the integra for so long.

After test driving the Z and a few full throttle pulls, it came home with me

I love this car!

07 Base 350z coupe w/ 4,088 miles





Integra sits in the driveway now...


Glad to be a part of the family

Welcome to the forum and a better choice overall. Now you can feel some torque compare to the S2k.

I bought the car for 24k and it came out to 26k out the door. I had a down payment for 3k and financed 23k. Came out to 450 a month for 60 months.

Welcome! I, too, was seriously thinking about the S2000, but never regretted my decision after I got the Z.

Hey there OP!

I'm just like you, came from my white GSR to my SS 03 Z. It's been more than 2 years already and I still love the car. Welcome in!

Do miss the Teg occasionally, though...

This vehicle is t-o-r-q-u-e-y!!! It's one of its main magnets (besides looks,
horsepower, reliability, etc.) Congrats & welcome to the Zed family, dude!

the integra looks sad. It was like that with my modded eclipse that parked at the streets after I got my z. Good choice though.

Congratulations!!! A good accident indeed.

Hopefully no one makes fun of the lump on the hood. I know when I first got my 07 Z last January people would always point out the lump on the hood. They would point and laugh and say there goes the guy with the lump on his hood. Hopefully this won't happen to you.
