Hey all,
I just joined the site today after lurking a couple of times. Seems like some good information on here.
I am an Engineering student about to graduate University next month and already got a job as an Automations Engineer. I am very excited to start. With this new job, I can finally afford to buy one of my dream cars, which is a Nismo 370z. Now before anyone gets excited, I am only looking to buy in about a year from now, however I will be looking around at pricing and test driving over the next year. I just want to pay off my small debts, my current car and save some money to move out/small house eventually. I would also like to save up as much of a down payment as possible to minimize my monthly payments on the Z when it comes time.
My current car is a 2009 chevrolet cobalt 2.2L coupe, which I bought when I started University. It's great on gas and I love it. I have done many modifications on it including adding a turbocharger to it, which really woke the car up. It is a blast to drive now. If anyone is interested in seeing what work I've done to it, you can check it out here:

Bboytaktix's TURBO build
I am also a moderator on that forum. I plan on keeping the cobalt as a daily/winter driver when I get the Z, especially since it's relatively cheap and good on gas.
Hoping to find tons of great info on this site on the 370Z and also share some of my knowledge on cars in general, considering I studied vehicle systems and internal combustion engines during my engineering degree and have also done a ton of work on my own car.
Eventual plans for the Z are to twinturbo it, I've seen a few around online that are gorgeous and put down some nice power. I'll also be researching that over the next year while saving up and looking around for the right Nismo Z.
Can't wait to get my Z!!
