Hello EveryOne,

I am excited to say that I have become a part of the 370Z family. I have been on the board for about a year and have always admired these cars. I finally found one that I like at the right price. Please view pics below - I pick her up Saturday. From what I can tell she has aftermarket intake, exhaust, front and rear bumbers, maybe some suspension of some sort - new rim and tires (not sure of brand) and the sport pack. She is a 2010 with 47k miles on her. Please feel free to comment. I am so excited I can barely contain myself.

I am a car guy and have had an e46 m3 comp package, and c6 base and c6 Z06 in the past. Due to gas/tire/insurance/ etc the Z06 had to go . But I love all cars in general.

Thanks guys - like i said I can not WAIT until Saturday - I live in Austin and have a nice drive to Houston to get her.

Questions - with your experience do you think the car has been tuned due to exhaust and intake - coming from a bmw/ corvette background I find the three usually come hand and hand.

Or is a tune not a usual mod on a 370. Sorry nuwb question but I am new to these cars ...

Yes some one loved this car - like i said it was a 2010 with 47k miles ! .. thats not even 10k a year ! ..... they were probably a member on this board - they had to have been. I know when some one has spent that on a car they are on a board some where !

It probably wasn't tuned. You can check- search around here for the procedure to switch maps with the cruise control switch. Might want to get under it and see if it still has the stock cats as well.

Anyone one know what type of exhaust that is? I only ask because this will be my daily - so i know it sounds like a p**sy but I hope its not TOO loud. when I got my Z06 it has some aftermarket - and the drone was SO bad I had to go back to stock... .

On the other hand it may be JUST right and make the car sound great. Any input would be greatly appreciated.

The exhaust is a Berk catback (stacked mufflers)


and possibly Berk HFC but like Chuck said you'd have to get under to verify


Wheels resembles Axis Shine or Katana cr5, check center cap for brand


Stillen G3 intake, CF EVO-r front lip, CF front nose finisher (EVO-r?), replica Amuse rear bumper, paint matched door handles and front emblem.

Being a 2010, I'd look into whether the previous owner had the steering lock issue fixed or you can search the DIY stickies how to remove the fuse for it. Other things to be aware are oil consumption and the inevitable MSC/CSC failure. Other than that the car is looking great. Nice seats and navi
