Not a 370 owner...yet!
 

Decided to do an intro (and increase some post counts :rofl2:) by posting here! I came here in order to find out more information about the Z to see if i actually want one. I am currently driving an Acura TSX. Great DD, but i am tired of being in the honda family (tsx, civic, crv). I want something more powerful, rwd or awd, and stick shift! no other car in the market fit my requirement like the Z (other than some german cars, which i can't afford, and im also scared of their reliability issues). I know i'll be losing some particularity, but since i am still young i think this is the age to have something impractical, besides if i need back seats i can always take my civic :icon17:

if some of you want to suggest other cars for me, feel free! or if you have any thing you wish you knew about the Z but didn't when you first got the car, please let me know :)

What i want in my 370z - at least 2011+ (gun metallic! <3), preferably 2012 with the factory oil cooler. definitely no 2009 (no heated mirrors??). and must have sports package! would be nice to have leather + heated seats and homelink, but i can sacrifice some luxury for the performance

my tsx -

First, very nice TSX; love the stance :tiphat: I haven't seen one like it around here.

Exhaust. That's one thing you'll have to get on the Z if the Z you buy doesn't have one on it already. The stock exhaust is just too quiet and wimpy sounding. You can pretty much do whatever after that.

ahh yes, i LOVE how the g37 sounds stock, and was very disappointed at the 370z exhaust tone even though they share the same engine. i did some digging around the forum here, and i've seen some members try to get the g37 sound by using g37 mufflers and changing out the resonators? might want to look into that

Hi

:hello: anyone else wish they knew something about the car before they bought it? after some research im slightly concern with the visibility/blind spot issue:confused:

You get used to the blind spot and learn to drive with it. Exhaust, you can't go wrong with Fast Intentions exhaust. Never heard of anyone swapping for the g37 mufflers and i'm pretty active on this forum. So as long as you have an oil cooler and exhaust you'll be good to go. But its hard to stop there once you have the mod bug

cool thanks, yeah the mod bug will be tough, especially there are so many mods available for this car!

Hi how are you?
