It is a perfect blend of sufficient HP with just downright sexy styling, Pearl White color and the Persimmon leather . It is for my enjoyment alone and was NOT bought for any general public consumption. I just came to an epiphany over these last 6 months that I just don't require public kudos to know my car looks fantastic...
it just DOES !!

Nice, my story is very similar. Congrats!

I'll be going from the Mach 1 to this in a week...

Absolutely not! The Shelby GT was a great vehicle..it just lives entirely too much in the shadow of the man, Carroll Shelby .....it gets old and tired after a while.

Congrats on the new Z! The Shelby was gorgeous btw, I'm loving the pics!

Congrats on your purchase. Pearl White w. Persimmon was my first choice too. I ended up with Pearl with Grey interior, and I'm happy with it (but still envy you yours).

As you've found, the Z is just plain a great-driving car. There are certainly faster cars, and prettier cars, and classier cars, but there are damn few that are just so involving and flat-out fun to drive! I've had a bunch of sports, muscle and sporty cars and the Z just hits all my buttons.

Welcome to the club!

I would say there are certainly faster cars, and prettier cars, and classier cars, but there are none who have the mix of all the above, like the Z.

Congratulations on the new Z! I too went from a Mustang (‘07 GT) to a 370Z and every morning I pull out of my garage I’m reminded of how much happier I am with the Z. The Mustang was fun and quick and sounded great but the Z is more refined and in my opinion has a much more ‘connected feel’ with the road.
