Glad to Finally Make It

Hey guys and gals, I just joined the ranks as a new 370Z owner! I am 20 years old and have owned a 1996 Saab 900se turbo automatic 'vert for the past 4 years, heavily modifying it along to way to 360 crank hp along with brakes, suspension, and all the supporting mods. I was looking for a new car this summer and initially did not have the Z on my radar as I have never been a fan of 350Zs but I saw one by chance, took it for a test drive, and fell in love.

I ended up working with my dad to find a good deal on a 370Z touring with a 6MT after weighing whether the sport package would be a better value for me. I am not into modding the interior so I decided on getting the Touring package with the mindset of working the mechanicals to my taste.

That brings me to the Platinum Graphite 2010 370Z that I picked up today with 5 miles on the clock and have loved every minute of it. It feels so intimate and alive which is a 180 from my Saab.

I guess I will say that my mods will be subtle and completely hidden. Here is my list, please let me know what you think!

-G3 Intake (powder coating the tubes black)
-Stillen sway bars
-Stillen Uprev tune (Stillen is 5 minutes from my house)
-Maybe Berk HFCs if they work with the stock headers and cat-back

Thanks in advance, I am sorry if I come off wordy but I figure I should at least give you a good introduction.

The Saab and the Z

Congrats and Welcome! :hello:
Nice Saab, and Great pics of the new Z.

Thanks guys, I cannot get enough of this car. I also feel the mod bug hitting and I haven't even driven the car more than 20 miles!

Congrats on the Z!

The Saab is awesome! I have always been a big Saab/Volvo fan. :D

Nice. Great color choice ... but I'm biased :)

Thank you! I started out with my Saab but after years of countless problems, it will be great to have a car that I can rely on for years to come. Plus, the Z's chassis feels like it can handle a bunch more power whereas the drivetrain in the Saab was light years ahead of the chassis.

Good taste all around, your roadster looks great. I am a fan of darker colors but Platinum Graphite is light enough to be easier to keep clean but dark enough to have some nice gloss which accentuates the curves in my mind.
