Welcome to the forum :hello: Lol yeah sitting in Phx traffic with a 6speed can get pretty exhausting. I dumped my new crossfire when I first moved here becuz of it. After being here for awhile my leg is used to being numb :driving: good luck on getting your 370 soon :tiphat:

welcome :hello: good luck with your search

Welcome!!

Thank you so much everyone! Glad I'm not the only one that's disappointed in the '13 front end lol. Lookin' forward to getting to know everyone here.

Haha, yeah the whole reason I bought my Benz was because it's a manual. And Surprise to Gilbert everyday just ripped away all the enjoyment. :P But anyway, thank you! Hopefully I'll see you around! You go out to the Pavillions on Saturdays?

I had an 11' Z and now a 13' Z and love the new one much better. The LED's look great and the new shaped bumper looks great.

The LEDs are a very unique look. The mouth on the bumper just isn't for me. Congrats on the new Z, to each their own. :driving:

Hi there welcome to this forum.

I really like it when a female joins the forum it seems all radars are being channeled this way.:tup:

Nice to know that the 370Z is your choice probably to replace your Benz?
But how about a replacement for your fiance would you be in the market as well?:hello:

Welcome!

Welcome.

I wouldn't worry so much about the ugly 2013 front clip. Just go ahead and replace it with a front fascia and start making your car your own to seperate you from the rest of the Z's.

I would look for later models after Nissan added the oil cooler if you're not thrilled with the '13 facia. Other than the wheels, that's really the only change worth mentioning. ...or you could always go with a Nismo.

If I could, I'd try to sway you into getting the manual, but the automatic is fun and practical for traffic driving, since you are in phoenix I will say that whatever Z you choose, you will definitely need an oil cooler or an updated one should you opt for a 12' or 13' Z...

I haven't been yet as I have been in this TT Build since may. Once I get the Z back /fingers crossed the end of next week, I'm hoping to pop up there and check it out. Oh and surprise to Gilbert daily :eek: I would opt for an AT also lol

Hi Brooke!

I will be on the lookout for a good priced 7A/T in the area for you. I currently have an 09 auto. Love it. We have a ton of Z meets out here in the Scottsdale/Tempe/Phx area.

If you don't find one- you can ride shotgun

Welcome :hello:

Thank you so much for all the welcomes and helpful suggestions! Also, sorry for anything I missed below. :p

Ha. Thanks! I'm not sure I'll be selling the Benz just yet, it's nice to drive and it'll be my back-up once the Z starts going under the knife lol. And I'm always looking to replace him lol. :p


You have a very valid point. But I'd rather be happy with the way it looks and spend that money on something performance related.

Thanks for the heads up. If I find a nice manual for the right price I'd go for it. Just depends. :)

Nice! I can't wait to see it. I miss our tt'd Z. We got so carried away with it though. Stroked from a 3.5 to a 4.07, overbore to 96mm, sleeves, low compression pistons, billet crank, forged rods, ported and polished heads, the list was so long. And yeah, during rush hour lol. Hellish.


Thank you! :) haha, sweet. I definitely call shotgun till I find one.
