Hello! Just picked up a 370

chris410 · 07-26-2009, 07:21 PM

Yesterday my wife and I were running around and a white 370Z drove by. I told her that the 370Z is honestly the first car in a while that I've really liked. So, we decided to go check one out last night. Long story short, I ended up buying it.

It's Pearl white, auto 7-speed, has nearly every option except for the sport package and wing. I'm going the aftermarket wing route so aside from that the car has more features that I was expecting.

I didn't get to drive it much so aside from the test drive all I can say is I love the car. Looks, handling, everything is spot on. Nissan got it perfect with this car.

About me, I race motorcycles (CCS) and used to drag race a 97 Supra that had the big single...the usual! Since I sold the Supra I've really only been riding motorcycles as far as performance toys go so this is the first nice car I've had since the Supra.

I'm looking forward to learning more about the car from everyone here. I'm located in N. Va near Manassas.

Sounds like a good solid start! Welcome.

So I wake up actually excited to finally drive the car (well to work but there are some good roads) and come to realize that my wife accidentally took the keys!

Two friends of mine have GT-Rs and one other person I know has a 370Z as well. I'm thinking at some point we should get a 370Z/GT-R meet going. Would anyone be up for that? Back when I had my Supra I put together the first big meet...nearly 120 supras showed up...then they eventually moved it to Texas where the number is closer to 500???

I'm trying to plan a 370Z meet for an upcoming weekend. Maybe next weekend. Check out the Mid-Atlantic forum.

Cool deal! Depending on the time/place I'll try to stop by, I have some visitors coming in so hopefully I can swing it!
