So I am absolutely pumped about buying my new 370z I have been shopping all over trying to find the color package I like. I am looking for a White ( possibly blue ) 2011 base with sport package / manual transmission.

I found one at my dealer today and drove it but noticed the clutch did not release until probably 90-95% out. It seemed VERY high. This particular Z had 6000 miles on it and is the only manual 370 I have driven yet. It was not a dealer demo and was a trade in apparently . I've had a couple of opinions and many say it sounds like someone may have played a little too hard in the first 6000 miles then traded it in .

The dealer says that these settings are adjustable? I have a kind of hard time believing that . ( He did not know for sure )

I just want to make sure I don't by a turd.

Currently they are offering me 500 over invoice on a white sport manual coming in August. I feel like I should be able to buy one of these at invoice .. Am i mistaken ? I found one in MA for 32,999 which would actually reflect below invoice.

Also , what do you guys think of the blue is it harder to find then white?

Had the same experience on my test drive of a MT 370Z, clutch engagement was also on the high side and this was on a 370 that only had about 125 miles on it. As for the Monterey Blue, i will have to say it is harder to find then white as i have only ever seen 2 blue 370's since it came out and one was on a dealer lot, the other i see once in a great while driving close by to where i work if that tells you anything lol, i had to order my blue Z.
