Default traded in (yes, traded in) my Ferrari for a new Nissan 370Z

Well, I just traded in (yes, traded in) my Ferrari 308 GTS QV for a new Nissan 370Z. Take delivery next Wednesday.

Test drove one last week and was very impressed.

I just wanted to say hello to all at the 370Z forum.

PS Needless to say, I've been blacklisted by some of the guys over at FerrariChat.com for defecting! So, hopefully the 370Z forum will be a bit friendlier! LOL

Drove the 370Z last week and was very impressed, made the Porsche Cayman I tested last month look silly.


Cayman - $51.5+
Cayman S - $61.5+

neither is really a good comparison if you include price in the picture.

oh, what i could do with 20k of addons

1983 308 GTS QV Euro version

It has about the most beautiful sounding exhaust I've ever heard from a car. Different than the US spec version. I will miss that.

But, I imagine the Z has potential for a sweet sound as well. I'm a newbie to the 370Z, so I don't really know.

My buddies father did do the US advertising campaign for the original 240Z. Got one of the first ones (silver) as a part of the deal, and kept it in his garage for years. I LOVED that car.
