Do I like it.....no, but that is the reality of our world.
Due diligence before the sale, plus using the competition can yield a fairly good price. You're welcome to read my post in the Introduction section, titled 2013 On Order (my price is there). I feel like I got a great deal and really enjoy my 2013Z. Thanks for all the info you guys post here  |
Congrats on your ride. There's one dealer in my area giving $4000 markdowns on a 2013: everyone else has them @ msrp. I am test driving to demystify the euro shocks. I need to feel the difference from my current shocks. I also had an 09 Z and honestly I prefered that over my 11 shocks. My 11 is more compliant but my 09 was more aggressive. I don't mind harsh ride for more performance feel.
I hope the euro shocks feel good? We'll see. As far as inflation goes. I understand that, but the least they could have done was tuned the ECU for 10hp and redesigned the midpipe for more aggressive exhaust note. That doesn't cost much. Its about staying competitive to a point where reviewers can't bash the car. Something that's been goin on too long.
