Congrats and welcome!

You might miss the AWD a little if the Z is going to be your daily, but add some snow tires and I'm sure you'll be happy. Whatever you do don't attempt snow driving on the OEM tires!

thanks for the welcome!

And no, no snow for the Z. I learned that lesson with the Evo X. While AWD is a true benefit, the stock Yoko's are NOT made for snow or cold weather driving. Braking and turning were horrible and I almost crashed the first storm I drove it in.

The Z will be my daily, but I will have a beater for snow days. I'm on craigslist right now searching for something affordable and AWD.

I got a call from the Dealer yesterday and looks like they found me a silver 11' with sport package. I will be picking it up in a few days.
