20's. 40's +. Who's buying their Z's

Adamnthe_z · 04-25-2016, 06:40 PM

I'm 26 going on 27, and I've had my Z for almost 6 months now.

Ghostvette · 04-26-2016, 09:25 AM

I learned to drive on a 71 240Z, had 3 Camaros, 2 Vettes and I bought my 2012 2 years ago when I was almost 58. I'll turn 60 in October, and I'm looking at a Cayman S for the next car (keeping the Z). From here on out, if it has more than 2 doors, I ain't interested (well, except for a Juke or Rogue to haul tires).

I bought my 350z at 21 the week I graduated the police academy. Then I got my 370z at 24 after my 350z was totaled from being rear ended by a drunk driver. I'll be 28 in May.

Now that you've owned both, what's your impression .... Looks, feel, drive?

Something about the 350z felt more analog, if that makes sense. But the 370z is more refined in every way. The interior is much better quality. It is much quicker (I had the vq35de). The 350z seems more sleek in appearance. The 370 looks meaner though. I've had my 370z for 4 years now and I love it. But I still also have love for the 350z. I'd like to buy another one of the wife would let me.

My impressions exactly! And it's understood the love for the old 350

The 350 captured my heart as a sporty import when I was younger and wanted one for the longest time, finally at the age of 27 I had the employment and the disposable income to afford the car of my dreams... bought the 370 and have not regretted it for a minute. I'm 28 now... I could see a nismo in my future but I'll be buying a house before that happens

Pearl zed · 04-26-2016, 02:05 PM
