SRT4 to new touring Z

IMWEZL · 04-29-2009, 05:59 AM

I have my eye on a 370Z Touring with the sport package.

The Neon has been a blast to drive for the past 5 years; Drag racing, Auto-X and the occasional Road course. I even had the modding bug, upgrading to a big turbo and swapping out the entire suspension.

The new Z looks very nice and has a good balance of power and handling. I can't wait to take delivery.

Hopefully I can break away from work to pick up the Z on Monday.

On a side note...I had to laugh during the test drive when the sales guy told me drop a gear and floor it.

Him: "That's more torque than your little Neon!"
Me: "Ummm no...it makes 494lbs of tq at the wheels."

1hr later: Comes back from driving my "Neon"...Holy **** you weren't kidding.

The Z is an amazing handling vehicle though. Even with my full coilover setup, sway bars and alignment I don't think I could carve corners as well. I felt very confident in the Z, not that I would risk wrecking it.
