New Z owner in Chicago

Jonny · 12-23-2015, 02:40 AM

Hi everybody, I’m Jonny and I’m new to the forum. I purchased a 2012 base with the sport package with a manual trans in pearl white. The car came with 20k on the odometer and I bought it sometime in June. Prior the Z, I had a 2012 Mitsubishi Eclipse but it wasn’t fast enough for me. I always wanted a 350Z when I was younger but I’m fortunate enough to afford a 370. Right now the 370Z has been an absolute blast to drive and I can’t stop driving it. It's been my affordable dream car for a long time.

As far as mods I’m pretty basic right now. I have an Invidia Exhaust, 25mm rear spacers and a softer clutch assist spring. I’m going to start moding again when the weather starts to warm up.

I’ve been a lurker for half a year but recently decided to join. I will try my best to contribute here but it might be hard because there is a lot of great info and I actually know how to use the search button. I live in the Chicago suburbs if anybody wants to meet up.

I’ll post up some pics in the next couple days

Glad there's more of us floating around!

With this warm winter did you get the Z at a bargain?
