Howdy!
 
This past weekend, I traded my red 350z (2005 w/39,400 miles) grand touring in for a 2014 black 370z (both are roadsters), sport package, 15,600 miles. I'm don't have a photo yet, sorry. Early 59th bd present to myself.

First thing I discovered was that the new Z is a little wider. I didn't notice it until I put on the interior cover and found that it doesn't quite reach to the tops of the doors now.

I'm loving the a/c seats and the additional 50hp. The rev match was cool for about a minute, but it'll probably stay off most of the time. It's nice not having to latch the top any more.

About the only thing I miss from the 350 is the sound. Gives me a reason to search through some exhaust threads!

Nope, I've entered the Ball Cap Lifestage.

Thanks to all for the kind welcomes. I haven't had a chance to play with the car much yet (I do plan to clay/wax it tonight if my garage isn't too hot), but did discover I've got a gas gauge stuck on one dot past half full. A forum search told me I'm not the first! Fortunately, I've still got about 15 mos. left on the factory warranty.
