Finally Official...+1 for the 40th Anni club

BoostAddict · 03-08-2010, 10:37 AM

The wait is finally over! I have to say it was certainly worth it. My eyes were set on the 370Z since late last year, but the color combo was up in the air. When the 40th Anniversary Z was announced I knew right then and there, THAT was the Z I wanted.

I immediately contacted one of our forum sponsors, Joe Clem at Koeppel Nissan, and left a deposit once he told me they were getting in at least 1 (turned out to be 2, the other due in April is still unaccounted for, FYI). And so the long wait began...

With the other threads regarding people getting their 40th Anniversary Z's in, I figured my time had to be near. Sure enough, I got the call last week that 'my' Z was here. I made arrangements to pick her up this past Saturday. After spending the afternoon at the dealership, thanks to my ins. co. taking their sweet time faxing over docs, I was finally on my way...me and my new lady...oh and my wife was there too :P

This break-in is certainly going to be tough. I've usually kept to the manufacturer's recommended break-in with occasional debauchery thrown in with previous cars/bikes, but after only 2 days, break-in is proving to be extremely hard with the Z. I've already had a jaunt with a fellow 350Z on the Saw Mill River Pkwy yesterday. Granted, I only have a tick under 300 mi (in 2 evenings of driving

) on the odo, but this car's handling is quite remarkable. Sigh, only 700 more miles to go...pray for me.

You're probably about to reply with TTIWWP, but you've seen enough pics of the 40th, right? Well, I'll post some pics, hopefully soon. I haven't had the opportunity to get some pics in decent daylight as I've been driving in the evenings...besides I've been having too much fun driving...who would want to stop to take pics??

I hope to see some of youZ on the road in the near future.

AK, how about a 40th Anniversary 370Z Owners Registry?

Congrats, ours just arrived, and I wasn't sure I liked it. Then I saw it in person today, the pictures don't do this color justice. Wow...it is a beauty.

tsolin01 · 03-08-2010, 11:34 AM

Congrats man. It does look really nice in person. If only it had Navigation, I would have picked one up myself.

I agree. When I first saw it person, all that came to my mind was "Wow!!" The color of the exterior and wheels matched better than anticipated. And the red calipers really stand out.

If nav were an option, I would have selected it, but it wasn't enough to keep me from getting this Z. Having the integration of the factory nav would have been nice, but I'll settle for a little less integration on a great looking car.

Congrats, and YES WE WANT PICS!!!!!!!!!!!!

The break-in is 1200 miles, so you have 900 miles to go not 700, behave yourself. It's worth the wait.

Congratulations on your 40th Anniversary 370Z! Can't wait for some pictures.

Lou, is it true that the color has a purple hue to it in the right light? I can't wait to see one in person myself.

It really does. I have seen one in person and the color is absolutely gorgeous. I've heard that you can't see the purple in sunlight, but you can. It's a truly unique, beautiful color.

Hope you are enjoying her Andrew! Good luck and thanks again!!!!!!!!!1

chris410 · 03-13-2010, 07:19 PM

I stopped by my dealer and the had the 40th annivesary...they did a great job on it, the color is incredible. As others said, pictures do the car zero justice.

Jessica · 03-14-2010, 10:54 AM

I have a favor to ask. Could you post a picture of the radio controls on the steering wheel? I know they're different, but I don't remember what the extra button/switch was. Thanks!

Nevermind, I figured it out, thanks!

Thanks Joe!

I enjoyed her the first weekend I picked her up!!

This past weekend...not so much. This rain put a damper on my parade!

Not to mention, I've been without power since Saturday evening (thanks to the storm)...the weekend was extremely boring for me.
