New member considering purchase

Joined to help decide if it is time to stop looking at old NSXs and buy a 370Z.

Have a 1991 NSX auto black/black, which had been in the shop a lot the last few years. Getting a newer one won't get me any features, just one that works better, versus getting.a 370Z Touring auto w/Navigation and Sport, which will have about every feature.

370Z FTW. Its gonna be new so you wont have the shop worries.

shadoquad · 07-10-2010, 05:30 PM

NSX's are awesome. Obviously I love 370Z's, too. Welcome to the forum.

Jesse_Hunter · 07-10-2010, 05:36 PM

NSX is sweet, but Get'cha a '10 Touring Z and swallow up all that interior greatness!

Welcome!

Go for a test drive, and see what you think.

wilsonp · 07-10-2010, 06:01 PM

Just got back from a test drive, but a roadster since they didn't have a coupe auto.

Performance didn't feel much faster than my NSX (which it is), but steering was tighter (my NSX has an issue the dealer can't find) and it didn't seem noisy to me (unlike the reviews).

Yeah people talk up the noise like they are comparing it to an escalade..

Welcome, I'd advise getting the Z over the NSX. Just my opinion though

Wilson, where in VA are you located? If you're anywhere in NOVA feel free to come on our to our Saturday meets at the Fair Lakes Starbucks.

The thread with the info is here: NOVA: Zs & Coffee - Starbucks every Saturday @ 10AM

On the 17th we are meeting at Starbucks as usual, but at noon Chantilly Nissan is hosting us for a little 370Z meet with food & drink provided. If you're in the area, come on by!

Thanks, unfortunately on the Southern border, normally end up at Greensboro or Raleigh NC NSX events (but rarely go) - but, I do have VIR 15 minutes away

I was afraid he wouldn't take a serious look at the car if he knew about the flimsy doors ahead of time.
