New member here, but always been a Z fan

Well i haven't had a chance to snoop around the forums just yet. Im sure im in for a lot of good stuff.

Well i owned various generations of Z cars.. from the 240z & 280z, and the 280zx..and currently ive got a 03' 350z. I've owned other cars too, the first two generations of the mazda miata (which i enjoyed alot), and an modded EVO8.

I got my chance to drive a Touring sport 370z 6M tranny in chicane yellow and i really enjoyed it. Now i've always been a fan of the manual, i have always held the opinion that a sports car should have a clutch. Ive frequented HPDE events, so i have really grown to love heel-toeing. However i really want to try out the 7 speed paddle shift auto. I plan on test driving the auto tomorrow..I think i might like it. If it shifts quick and the paddles respond well as im hoping i may go that direction.

I don't know the name of the blue, but i really like that blue, they have a blue touring non-sport with the auto at the stealership i want to test drive.

I plan on waiting for the Nismo 370z before i make any decisions. But if the auto is as good as im hoping it will be....i'll take a blue auto touring sport.

Welcome to the forums

. With all the Z cars you have owned in the past, it seems like you're a Z Enthusiast. Got any pictures of your Zs?

If you like your 350Z then you'll LOVE the new 370Z. Auto - manual -- it doesn't make a slightest difference. Buy the one that you feel comfortable with. I loved those paddle shifters on auto Z btw.

The blue color is Monterey Blue. I currently own a Z with that color. I really like it.

Feel free to ask any questions you may have. Hope to see you behind your own 370Z soon.

I have a few pics of my old z cars and of my 350z.
The Monterey Blue reminds me of the blue my old 240z used to be.

ZYUL8R · 05-01-2009, 10:57 PM

Alright! Got it. I will miss my 03 350z, i owned it longer than any car i ever owned.

I picked me up a 370z touring sport in chicane yellow with the 6MT. I am enjoying it very much. It is better than the 350z in every way!

I love the aggressiveness of the s30 with an MSA air dam and headlight covers.

Why did you get rid of it?

ZYUL8R · 05-03-2009, 12:50 PM

I was in college and was looking for a cheap track car to beat up. I know i couldn't do that to the Z and sold it to a friend.

That's a shame man, it looks like it was a beautiful s30.

Well congrats on the z34 bud, I look forward to seeing what you do with it.
