Love at first sight - My 370Z Nismo

Zephon13 · 11-08-2013, 02:14 PM

So I was on my way to go test drive a Scion FR-S to compare it to the BRZ I drove at a nearby Subaru dealership. I was set on getting a BRZ for at least a month and a half. As I was coming up on the Nissan dealer about a mile before the Toyota dealer, I figured I'd stop in and at least test drive a 370Z since I've always been a fan. 6 hours later, I found myself driving home in a 2011 370Z Nismo and I haven't looked back since.

HELL YEAH.

Had to resize the pics so they would attach correctly.

ElVee · 11-08-2013, 02:23 PM

That's the way to do it. The Z (even non-Nismo) will drive circles around the Toybaru twins. Grats!

That's what I thought at first as well, but I grew to love it. It's definitely not something I could have ever seen myself going for, but it fits the personality of the car and pictures don't really do it justice. Some friends of mine who saw pics first then in person said the same thing, lol.

Congrats and welcome.. definitely a good choice over the FRS IMO

Was it pre-owned? Why is the rear bumper partially orange?

Congrats though!

It was a certified pre-owned 2011. It came off the lot with that orange vinyl over the lip. Normally I can't see myself going for a look like that (especially orange) but I actually like it a lot. Gives it some character.

I would do the whole lip kit around in orange. Give it a Porsche look!

Congratulations.

the trim on the side skirts and the trim on the spoiler to round it out. That would be cool and unique.

I might do something like that, or go with some orange underglow. That would look pretty sweet too.

You know whats nice about a buyer like you, you didn't ask us to convince you.
