Been waiting 2 weeks!

To introduce myself to you guys, tell you about the hard process it was to find the exact 370z that I wanted. And to say goodbye to the only type of vehicle I have owned since I was 19....im 32 now. Lemme see If I can summarize, and just give the important details.

Through nearly my entire time driving I have owned/driven 4 mustangs. My latest one a 2014 Deep Impact Blue Gt, had severe paint defects. The front bumper, roof and hood were starting to peel right off. My dealership fought and refused to help me with it. After this soured my good relationship with ford and my dealer I started to look around.

I began to really like the 370z, after reading on here for 2 weeks ( the time it took for my account to be activated

) I absorbed all the info I could, heck I feel like I know some of you in person just by your avatars!

So I started the process of trying to find a 2016 sport, gun metallic gray with a 6 spd. First dealer tried to low ball me with my car and overcharge on the Z, also tried to tell me they could only find a silver one. So I got in touch with an old friend who directed me to a new dealer ( If anyone lives in south jersey lemme know I'll give you their name, they are awesome) and everything went smooth. They gave me a great deal and found the exact car I wanted.

And then I got up to an email today stating my account was verified on here and here I am

Congrats and welcome fellow NJer!

Sorry to hear about your issues with Ford. Be prepared, Nissan paint sucks too. It may not peel, but it will chip if you look at it sideways.

I also saw some really nasty orange peel on a brand new GT-R (in showroom) a few months ago. IMO that's unacceptable on a $110k car.

Second this. I didn't at first and ended up with a small rock chip on the hood. Very small and was easy enough to fix with touch up paint and a wax, but it still annoyed me.

Welcome. GunMetal is nice one.

Let us know what you think. Also how do you feel about the cabin noise with the new sound?

dmatt · 10-20-2015, 01:11 PM

Cabin noise definitely is noticeable, which im guessing is mostly from the tires. But every mustang I had, I added exhaust to, so a little ambiance doesn't bother me too much.

As for comparing and contrasting the two a few things Ive noticed so far..

- 370z handles worlds better duh

- Mustang 5.0 obviously has the power battle won.
- 370z shifts way better, one of the worse things about the mustang, always using those cheap Chinese Tremec transmissions
- I think I prefer the mustang stereo, have to fiddle more
- Mustang rides a little softer, nothing major, expected this
- 370z paint so far "looks" better, time will tell
- I like not having a turn key anymore, push button ftw
- Brakes I cannot yet say, haven't driven the Z hard yet.
- Mpg time will tell also
- Styling this is subjective, but the Z looks like a stealth fighter to me.
- Interior quality, I like the ergonomics of the Z, but the mustang definitely had a nice interior.
- I have a spare tire again, no more stupid pump
- 370z clutch is a beach, heavier than the mustang.
- Almost forgot the most important thing, the Z seatbelt doesnt ding when Its not buckled, ahem not that I would ever drive without it on.

more to come in the weeks coming.

dmatt · 10-20-2015, 02:35 PM

Non - dinging seatbelt, most Nissan's that way. Awesome.
