I found nice mustangs that are cheaper than 370zs though

Simply put, best looking, sexiest, most bang for the buck!
I have always favored imports, living in metro Detroit, there have always been soooooooo
many mustangs, cameros, Chargers, challegers, just wanted something different. Got my first import in 1974 and haven't looked back!

I liked the 350 race car from Grand tourismo 4...

In second year I saw a beautiful yellow 370z. I said to myself that will be my car in the future. Oh on another note they brought the yellow back for 2017!

I was set to pull the trigger on a 2011 5.0 6MT hardtop... then I drove my nismo and it was all over.

Sick of AWD under-steer with an STi

Well me I loved the 350z from I think it was need for speed underground 2 or most wanted. I treated it as my prized car

Back in high school, I had a beat up, rusty old 240z, and I loved that thing. Then I abandoned Nissan completely until ...

I got a new video card (tech geek that I am), an AMD 380x. Looking for new video drivers, I Googled 380z; up popped a bunch of hits and pictures of the 370z.

What a fateful typo! Wifey got up, I talked her into going to test-drive one that day after breakfast, and I ended up owning one a few weeks later.

Affordable, sexy, iconic, reliable, mod friendly, quick, fun, and rare/unique

5th Z owned.

1973 240Z
Pair of 1983 Turbo 280ZX's
1985 300ZX

And now this one.

Was this or a fire breathing American muscle car. I was torn, but found the better deal on my Z....and only 10k miles on the clock when I bought it. Am happy with the purchase. The VQ lacks the torque off the line compared to the American V8s, but the handling makes up for it.

Just wish it was quieter inside, especially on rougher pavement. That's my biggest complaint.

After growing up with British sports cars , when I retired I wanted one more real sports car before I got arthritis and couldn't drive a stick anymore. I couldn't afford a Porsche so the Z was a good fit. So far so good...no arthritis yet and if they still offer a real manual gearbox, my next car will also be a stick. Screw those floppy paddle shifters. I'll get one of those when my left leg quits working.

I, uhh, hear that. :)

A little sound deadener in the hatch, especially on the wheel wells, goes a long way.
