Newb, potential owner.
Figure i'd post up an introduction. Currently don't own any vehicle other than my beater. Just researching the car still. I was always a subaru nut and previously had a built GT30R powered STI, but had to sell due to unemployment some several months back. Started a new job a couple of months ago and now i'm back car shopping again. I don't know how much i can take driving my beater honda passport, i'm in the process of selling my motorcycle to make room for a fun weekend car. Any who, been looking at the 370z more and more, and it definitely qualifies more as a driver's car. And i'm looking for more of the functional sports car. Not saying the STI didn't but i bought that car for the sportiness and practicality and now that i have the DD i think i can have something that a little less practical being that it will be my weekend/summer driver. I'm still up in the air though, i've looked at newer sti's and even considered a '11 5.0 mustang with track pack. All in all the 370 still has that appeal. So hopefully i will learn much more about the car while i'm here and possibly pick one up in the near future.

coming from someone who currently has an 11' sti and Had a 370 you will not be upset. I loved the 370 and I would still have it if it wasn't totaled (not my fault). but compared to the sti it has a much sportier feel considering the size and that it is a two seater. I looked at the 5.0 mustang as well after the 370 but I didn't think It would match up to the drivers experience I had with the Z.

I wanted to at first. But I wanted to rebuild it to be the same exact car as my other Z, but I knew that would cost a lot of money and time. Most of my aftermarket parts were ruined off the Z. So I figured I would start fresh and try to build something new. I also needed something a little more practical so it was a good time to make the switch, but I still wish I had that Z sometimes.

I really just want a sporty coupe, something i can do some minor suspension and performance bolt-on's and bling it up with some staggered wheels and nice lip kit. Last edited by deuce189; 08-16-2011 at 01:33 PM. |
