As a youngster in the early 1970's I had a z28 and loved it - this was back when HP was cubic inches and fuel flow. My last car was a Porsche that came off warranty last spring and as I couldn't order a 2012 at that time I shopped around for something else. I was interested in a grand ssport vette -couldn't find one on a lot to drive, z4 turbo with a 6 speed - couldn't find one to drive, Roush mustang - couldn't find one to drive (and this is a mustang that goes and handles - would have liked to drive one). Did drive a mustang gt but after the porshe it really lacked in the handling department. An aquaintance had a 370 roadster and he raved about it so I thought I'd take one for a ride and low and behold there was a brand new 2010 roadster (touring, sport pac and 6 speed) on the lot. I didn't know at the time how hard they are to find. Anyway, to shorten up the story when I drove it within a couple of kilometers I knew I was onto something very, very good. This was a Wednesday night. I went home, researched it, worked out a deal Thursday night and picked it up Friday. That was last June. The more I drive it the more I like it. It is sort of a combination of raw muscle car with a mixed of modern day Japanese high tech......very satifying to drive. I resisted the synco matching rpm device for awhile and finally tried it and now love it.....makes downshifts so fast and they're smooth. The upper end of the rpm band is not as smooth as say a bmw but to tell you the truth I'm having so much fun I don't notice......actually the fact that it is a little raw is one of the things I find so attractive.
I enjoy my 370 Roadster as much or more than the Porsche (Boxster) which was a great car.
