New to the Z family

Moved up from a Miata to a 370Z. Wanted something with more power and a hard top. Bought a Black 2009 Touring Sport, auto trans, 55K miles. Unfortunately bought it from a dealer so I don't know the car history.

Drove it home (4hrs) and was very impressed. I live in upstate NY so its frustrating that I wont get to drive it for a couple of months. Now sitting in my Garage. Plan to take that time to do some maintenance.
- Drop the tranny pan, clean up and do a flush
- Drain differential and refill
- Install a oil pressure gauge

Dealer did an oil change, new air filters, new battery Front tires and brake pads so good to go on those items.

This site is a wealth of great info, Happy to be part of the group !

Welcome. You will enjoy the Z. I have had both, and the Z is a much different car.
