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

Mr&Mrs · 11-09-2012, 06:32 PM

Its sad that all car people cant just get along. Egos, and little peckers always get in the way.

Tazicon · 11-09-2012, 06:55 PM

I love muscle cars myself, but the Z is such a fun car to drive. The best thing to do would be to own a muscle car and a Z so you can have the best of both worlds.

FYI I have seen stock Z's take stock R/T's on the strip. The SRT8 is a different story though.

how do I say this? Um REAL racing has turns? Take him on some canyon roads and see who is leaving who behind. The Z is a purpose-built sports car. Running in straight lines isn't racing....

When I asked him why he suddenly has the urge to race me, as he never showed that desire when I owned the Camaro he said "Because you went from a muscle car to a sh!tty rice burner. I know my R/T can't take out an SS, but it will mop the floor with your Japanese junker."

Sigh.
And I actually LIKE his Challenger!

HA! Far From a Rice Burner! It's called a SPORTS CAR

And he absolutely will not MOP any part of your Z unless he is modded

red6spd · 11-11-2012, 02:57 PM

Congrats on the Z. Oh and your Z would bend that challenger over a gurad rail and just have its way with it while it screamed in pain... Just saying.

AreJay · 11-11-2012, 06:14 PM

Yea the r/t playing with me on the way home from school last week didn't fair to well, lol. 😄

XTZZZZ · 11-25-2012, 10:13 PM

Welcome and congrats on the purchase you will not be disappointed
Your neighbor will be however but you won't be
As far as warranties go its a role of the dice. I have three neighbors that want
To buy mine if I ever sell just because they see how intake care of her brob
Better then the wife... Anyways not only did you buy the sexiest car on the road nissan
Dependability is unsurpassed in my eyes. I had a senra with 360k miles on it traded
It for a 240and got 250k miles on it tell I traded it in on my 09 z
So I for one belive nissan builds a great car so Allllllll the heaters out there
And belive there are many can just keep reving there muscle cars
And gritting there teeth when they drive buy... Soon you will realize that you look forward to the drive to buys! Enjoy and welcome!

Ehh... I really like the new challengers/chargers too, but actually you have the advantage.

Zenmaster · 11-29-2012, 04:18 PM

I was actually thinking of getting a new ss and selling my Z, but now I'm having second thoughts!

SS_Firehawk · 11-29-2012, 05:42 PM

Only SS I would remotely think about moving "up" to is a 1LE, but why when these cars already match it in every measured benchmark except acceleration...stock? We sacrifice 90hp but lose 600lbs. I'm fine with that considering I paid 33k and not 40k.

OP congrats on the find. Go ahead and pick up something to fix the inevitable rock chips that show like battle scars. Get a clear bra while she is mint! I have a rock chip at the corner of my rear window.... Don't ask me how. I stay away from cars, trucks, anything driving near me, it's truly inevitable.
