The first time I drove a 370Z I was shopping around a few different dealerships.

I drove the Genesis Coupe 3.8 Track hours before going on to the Nissan lot. Once I got there the only 6spd was a non-sport but I decided to give it a go anyway. Immediately I noticed how much better the gearbox felt when compared to the Genesis.

The interior was much nicer as well, just felt quality. The first thing that I noticed was the amount of noise that came though... even with the base 18s it was rough. I was also impressed with the non-sport brakes; they felt really good.

Once I got back to the dealership I looked around for the Sport yet there was none. I drove probably 3-4 non-sports before I bought mine... until I drove my car off the lot, I'd never been in a sport.

I'm glad I chose to wait for it.
