Wasn't a Z fan even though I liked the 300zx a little and I didn't care about the 350z at all. Once I saw the cover of R&T and Motor Trend and read the article I finally knew the car I was going to get. I was looking for a sports car for 2 yrs but nothing had the combination of performance and good looks. The 370z is a stunner and me behind the wheel is a match made in heaven.

If it wasn't for me having a half day the Friday I bought my car, I might not even own a 370Z yet, funny how things work out. |

My story is that I've always liked sports cars and the Z in particular. My uncle used to own a yellow 1970 240Z, I remember that I really loved that car and told him I would buy it if he ever sold it. Sadly, it caught fire and was a total loss sometime in the late 90's.
I really liked the 300ZX (like Areyouin729's - awesome looking car btw) but the SUV had killed the Japanese sports car by the time I was able to buy my first new car. I settled on buying a used Subaru Legacy, then the '02 Impreza WRX's came to the U.S. and I had my first new car. Nissan released the 350Z the following year and I figured that would be my next car. The Subaru was getting a little long in the tooth and the proposition of high mileage turbo car maintenance scared me a little, so I decided to replace it around 2007, I was going to buy an '07 or '08 350Z. Those plans got put on hold for a year as I relocated to California for work. Once I came back home, I saw the 370Z and was ready and bought mine in July. |

Well I had been driving a stage 2 '05 STi for about 4 years and was ready for a change. I wanted to get a true sports car, even though I could do anything with the STi: track days, autocross, towing my motorcycle, hauling stuff, etc. I also grew tired of not having any creature comforts.
I was really hoping to get a new Corvette Grand Sport but it was just outside my price range. So I started looking at everything else. I kept coming back to the 370Z as the best bang for the buck, not to mention it's gorgeous. Problem was, I had drove a 350 years back and wasn't impressed at all. I figured the 370 wasn't much better. I basically went to the dealership for a test drive thinking I wouldn't like it and that I could scratch it off the list. Well I was pleasantly surprised. It was loads of fun to drive and I knew that it would be my next car. I've had one for a month now and couldn't be happier |

I got my Z has a big "F-YOU" to my ex-fiance after we cancelled our wedding and broke up.
The good news? We're back together, with no wedding plans and I'm still driving a 2 seater, sports car. And...she loves it! We got her a SUV recently, so we should be ok once we do start a family.

Wife and I were at a Concours in September and she saw the 370Z. She said the rear end of the car reminded her of an old Hudson her father owned back in the 50's! I figured 'whatthehell' and arranged for a test drive from the dealership. I must say I loved the look of the car...I think it is easily the sexiest car on the road short of some high-end exotics. Dealership owner gave me his daughter's demo for a one-hour test drive. I beat the snot out of that car for an hour. (4500 miles on the odo, fully broken in). The rest is history. I still have not seen one other 370Z since September. Porsches are everywhere around here. This car turns heads, has people pointing and smiling and drooling. I love this car.

I refused to budge and told her I'm getting a 370Z whether she likes it or not, needless to say a year later I have a Z and no biotch girlfriend. A big shout out to the hoe for breaking up with me on Christmas Eve last year, made walking into my families house that much more awesome last Xmas |

I owned an 05 350Z. I was super stoked because it was going to be paid off in a few months, which meant I would be completely debt free! I was looking forward to the day where I could say I was debt free! But the 370 came out, and at first I didn't like it. But the more I looked at it (which was everyday at work and at home watching youtube videos and lurking on this site). Needless to say, I was torturing myself, and eventually...I cracked. I seriously hope, I'll be stronger when the next model comes out because I really want to buy a house or condo next...but I'm a sucker for cars.
