I loved the Z so far, so as of now I will be trying to get another one. However, there are a few cars that I would like to test drive, although I'm almost certain they will be disappointing after driving the Z around for the past few months.
2013 Hyundai Genesis 2.0 Turbo is one I will test drive. I like the way this car looks, and although not as sexy as the Z, or as much race history as the Z, I like the fact that it is Turbo. Haven't done much research in this area, so I'm not sure how much further the car can be pushed beyond stock, without major internal upgrades.
I would also like to drive a 2013 Scion FR-S. As far as I know, these are only available in N/A version so far in the US, 200 hp. I'm just wondering how that 200hp would feel in a 2000 lb car...
I doubt I would be satisfied with the power of these cars now, but I would like to check them out.
Anyone else have any suggestions...I'm not a fan of the muscle car look(Mustangs, Camaros, Challngers/Chargers...etc)(except for the Vette). I prefer two door, two seat cars with a sleek look. The BMW 135i does not fit this description IMO, but I have never driven or been in one, so I can't say for sure that I don't like it, just not as sexy as the Z.

50mph head on is pretty fast.
Just be happy you can post about this, the Z is replaceable.
The z is totaled for sure.

At least you are doing well for the type of accident it is. I had an accident before in my first Z and its rough.  |
Yeah, I didn't have much time to react, but if I didn't swerve, I would have hit him head on full speed

FÚCK THE CAR! You have insurance, it's all good and dandy to say it sucks to see a Z gone, but it's MUCH worse to see a Z DRIVER gone! And thank God for, God, your accident is a terrible accident, and no shattered bones is a miracle!
If you need anything, I'm sure more than one of your Z brothers will be here for you, I might be in a different state, but if you need anything from Texas, give me a shout
(And I made a payment the day my last car was totaled and it sucked, but insurance overpaid for the car! AND if you don't get enough to buy a new car, I'm sure we can set up a fund for you, $1 donations, lol. I think we have enough members to make it possible)

Haha, my only worry is that it's an 09 base, I really hope I don't get hosed.

As said by so many, glad everyone could walk away from it. |
Thank you, and yes I have seen too many of those commercials today...

Thanks I hope so too, and yes it could have been much worse.
