Sweet looking ride....

Beautiful Grand Sport! I went the same way (Z to GS) back in December - you're going to love that thing!

I hear ya...I was the same way at first! Seeing the taillights in person makes all the difference in the world, too. For whatever reason, they look a lot nicer in person than they do in photos.

Hehe...I get that the blue won't be for everyone. I'm a nut for blue to start with, and one of my goals when thinking of my next car was to spice up the interior a bit. Save for a two-tone "frost" interior in a 350Z years ago, I've almost always had single-tone grey or black interiors. Given those two facts, the first time I saw this interior, I almost needed a towel and a cigarette.

Here in the Charlotte Area, Seems like it's closer to 50/50 between the Vette and Z owners. Don't see a whole lot of Z Roadsters like I had, but see quite a few Z Coupes on the road around here.

Beautiful, I hope to get a Grand Sport or Z06 next if I can swing it

danegrey · 07-10-2017, 10:42 AM

all I can say its NICE....
thou if I got a vette, (thought about it)

dang, that blue hurts my eyes! nice! enjoy.

gorgeous car... I think they went slightly overboard with the interior accents and now it looks like a 17 year old ricer from 1997 got hold of it. Coco Chanel.

Very bold seats. I like the blue stripes with the grey paint. Congrats, looks like a fun drive.

Looking good!

zguynate · 07-13-2017, 11:46 AM

Do like. I hope you enjoy your new ride bro!

Beautiful car.... would love to hear about how you like the manual transmission and an overall review. are they more reliable these days?

Being a nut for blue/silver/gunmetal shades, I almost went nuts when GM unveiled the Grand Sport Collectors Edition with the Watkins Glen Gray/Tension Blue color scheme last fall. I was lucky enough to find one still available with a manual this late in the model year. Drove down to Atlanta last week to make the trade and bring this guy home:

Anyways...I've lurked here a lot more than I've posted over the years, but got a lot of good, helpful info here! Kinda been a shame to see Nissan continue to stand pat on the Z all this time. Hopefully they'll give it some fresh attention someday, and not let it die on the vine! (and here's hoping that any new one still comes with a manual trans, too

)

Oh...and if anyone has been scouring the Interwebs for a well-kept, low-mileage, Gun Metallic 370Z Roadster (Touring + Sport)...you might want to look up the used car inventory @ Hendrick Chevrolet in Duluth, GA.

Never seen that trim before on a Vette but I love it.The grey/blue color combo is absolutely beautiful!
