Replace the Z

ssmoked, how are those tri led headlights? suprised when I noticed those

This is what Nissan gets for dragging their feet. No information about the next Z. Don't blame you for moving on to a RC-F. I truly don't get what Nissan gains by hiding the Z35

Those are gorgeous and exotic looking. The lights compliment all the body curves the RCF has to offer. It takes twice as long to wash than the 370z, but it's a joy.

After 1 month/ 1000 miles ownership, here are my likes and dislikes:

Pros: NA V8 growl (it has secondary intake that opens up after 3500 rpm), racing seats and stitching, Lexus interior, overall aggressive design, well planted during turns, HUGE brembo brakes, quad exhaust staggered styling, headlights and exclusivity. FREE FOOD/SNACKS AT LEXUS DEALER

Cons: attract TOO much attention, especially with molten pearl. Too many gears. Low end torque. A bit heavy but is very planted and corners better than the Z. Need bigger stock rear tires, only managed 12.7 1/4 mile with the pss 275/35/19. Only 1 center arm console power outlet. Insurance went up 16%

Neutral: flooring the gas even at 55 mph would leave a strip of 15ft tire marks. It's cool at first but tires will get expensive. Hopefully upgrading to 305s would solve the issue.

What I miss about the 370: able to throw it around with ease and the 7AT feels more connected to the road especially in manual mode.

No issue with my fuel pump. Some people claim they have issues around 6-7k miles with "noise", while others say theirs are fine. I'm not worried with full warranty. I'm sure I would encounter more issues with the m4, ctsv, c63 If I went that route

I guess the OP means kids on the way. Hey OP, when you find out who the father is, be sure to kick his a$$.

Whatever it is I surely don't want it as it rhymes with testicles! Plus dream and creamy! Doesn't blend right to me. Lol

Not true, it's about staying happy, I have a kid and if I had the get a 4 door sure it be easier but I'd be passed 24/7 and blaming wife and kids
