I had the short block replaced and soon will get the steering lock replaced under warranty even though it never failed (pulled fuse). I think the bugs were worked out in later years and wouldn't be too concerned about the '09.

I track my car and I've considered another as a dedicated track 370Z. It is reliable compared to other track cars out there.
