Hello all,

I've waited 19 years for this day.........I pick up my 370z today. From the time I rode in my Uncle's 300Z back when I was 16, I've wanted this car. Today, I get to bring home my Zed.

Just saying hello and looking forward to learning a bit about my first "fun" vehicle.

I know the feeling. Prior to this 370Z that I bought about 9 months ago, I sold my 6th Z car (a 1982 280ZX Turbo) in about 1984. I've had a 240Z, a 260 Z, two 280Z's, a 280ZX, and then the Turbo...then a 28 year wait for the 370Z. It is, by far IMHO, the best Z yet.

I had a 280zx turbo too! 83. Loved that car (but not as much as my 370)!!!

That 280ZX Turbo had some real snort, but I do remember the turbo lag, and the handling was consistent with the bloated GT Luxo-cruiser that it was. IMHO, the 370Z is more fun than I ever remember the Turbo being.

Definitely no comparison IMO. I loved my 280 but not even in the same league as the 370....during it's time tho, the 280 was the shiz!
