Nissan 370Z Forum - View Single Post - Sadly, No Z for me. BUT! A 2009 Impala SS!

So the dealers here told me that they would know at the Abu Dhabi International Auto Show if the Z was coming to the region any time soon.

I got my answer, Not till 2011.

So, as I have said, my current car is a 600hp all motor 6.7 liter dodge charger, the "fastest charger in the middle east" and I cant drive her around everyday. The new motor went in a few weeks ago, and I want to add a TT kit in the next few years.

And since the Z isnt coming... and the G37 coupe costs 59,000 US dollars without insurance or fees. (all cars are much more expensive here than in the US) my hand was forced. This car cost me 46K US dollars. And you get alot more. add to this the fact that Im engaged, another fast car and coupe no less isnt a smart idea.

I bought the Australia made (by Holden, a GM company) Caprice SS. It is sold here as the Chevrolet Caprice Impala SS. 6.0 liter LS2, 360 hp, 6 speed auto, and all the nice things you'd expect in a car worthy of the Impala name. Its also (stock for stock) faster than a charger. a car that is called a Holden Commodore SS, and here as the Chevy Lumina SS, is the US' Pontiac G8. My new car has the same engine and tranny, but is slightly larger, and about 200 KG heavier.

I hope to get a 370Z, maybe in 2012, when I can get my hands on a used one... since the 1st thing I'd do is get a larger motor... A new one would just be stupid.

So here are a few pics of my new daily driver. Its ironic that although GM and fellow american makers are in trouble, and doing badly in the US... This is my 3rd American car in a row, LS1, HEMI, LS2, Really nice cars you guys make.

So, here she is:
