My first 370Z

oSiRis5000 · 06-07-2015, 06:27 PM

Hello, all.

DJ here from Nebraska. Three months ago I purchased my 40th 370Z locally after looking for the perfect Z (for me) for some time. A few years back I had a 350Z and the GF convinced me to sell it off for an SUV to haul band stuff in. I had regretted it very much. I told her "I WILL get another Z car someday" and she said "the hell you will" so after much persuading she finally signed off on this one. I offered to pay for her Cabo trip and told her I'd never buy another Harley...but I finally got it. After some research it seems that mine is #36 but that one has already been posted here. I'll have to see if I got Ridgerunner77's old car.

So far I love it. It came with Stillen Gen 3 intake and I did a muffler delete. I like the way it sounds but it feels like I lost some HP when I did that. I eventually would like to put on a proper exhaust and perhaps some HFCs. All Stillen or FI seems to be popular. I already wish it was faster. I got beat by a newer Mustang 5.0 the other day and feel very sad about that. Oh well. He was a very good driver so I will live with it.

Anywho...hello all and it is nice to see a site dedicated to such a sweet ride.

OP - Where in Nebraska are you located? I like in Omaha and have a 40th as well. If you are in the area and ever want to hear what the FI exhaust sounds like, let me know as I had one installed last fall. Welcome to the group and hope to see you around.
