Scouting the Z

Hey folks,

New forum member here, I'm seriously considering picking up a 370z for a summer car to drive while I rebuild my current DD, and figured I'd join the forum in the process.

I've been searching high and low for an affordable RWD sports car that wasn't any of the usual cliché go-to's, and the 370z fits that bill almost perfectly! The fact that I get VPP pricing through work all but seals the deal. I didn't quite qualify for 0% interest so I'm looking into options, biding my time, doing research and may not actually pick one up til spring. I've test driven a couple (AT & MT) and have been very pleased with the handling and drivability, aside from the clutch pedal on the manual. I know about the spring assist issue, so I'm hoping that a delete would fix that rollover grab on the clutch.

I haven't fully decided on which package I'll get, but at least for now it's looking like the sport with nav (dat rearview =\ ), with a good chance of a body kit and twin SC to come later. From what I've seen around the forum and on YT, it seems the best option - despite being thrilled about the new lines on the '15 Nismo coming out in a month or two.
