Default Hello! New Z owner- From Camaro SS to the 370Z

Hello, everyone. I just traded in my 2011 Camaro SS for a Black 370Z. She's a 2009 edition, but I got her for (I think) a fair price of $25,000 with only 1100 miles on the odometer. She's an automatic, but I can always play with the shifters on the steering wheel if the mood strikes me.

The Camaro is a wonderful car, but I traded her for the Z for a few reasons:

1. The Z just feels more nimble and responsive. This may sound strange but the Camaro WANTS to move all that power in straight lines, whereas the Z seems to smile when she reaches those curved roads.

2. I'm seeing Camaros everywhere now. Kudos to GM for making a car everyone loves, but by me they are as common as MItsubishi Eclispses.

3. The Camaro interior is a generation away from the Z. I absolutely hated the seats in the Camaro after driving for more than 30 minutes. The Z also feels more refined and sophisticated overall.

After the first 1200 miles I'm really happy with my choice! I'm stuck with only a couple concerns:

-No bumper-to- bumper warranty, so I'm hoping she is reliable.
-Black. I PROMISED myself never to own a black car, but I couldn't resist. The Z is too damned sexy in black, with lightly tinted windows. Lol. Now I get all the pain and suffering of upkeep.
-ugh. This year I'll be forced to drive her through an Illinois winter. Not looking forward to that, but I did give her a massive winter waxing last weekend.

Best wishes to all of you!
