that's odd. we drive the same cars and i dont get any attention. you sure it's the car and...

(here we go again...)

A 2015 zO6 for me! (Or whatever they decide to call it)

My 40th Anniversary got totaled in May (I was t-boned). The day I knew it was totaled I had my dealer track down my 2013 Midnight Blue Z. I bought it two days later.

At this point I'd save and be the first to buy the new Z. Setup up deals/ contracts with well know venders and let them use your car for learning and new FI products. Full of win.

Insurance better give me enough money so I can get another 370z Nismo.

I'm pretty sure its the car. I get compliments on it all the time and I know it can't be me, no one thinks a fat Asian guy who wears collar shirts and glasses is cool.

I'd want a Magma Red Nismo this time around.

raymondo510 · 08-05-2013, 11:10 PM

I'd buy another one, but would get a touring instead of a base, and probably go the FI route instead of N/A

I like the Z a lot, but since I have a "bucket list" of sports cars I would like to own before I go I probably won't repeat the Z. Next up on the list is most likely a Corvette.

I'm already breaking it to the wife that I want a Stingray with the Z51 package. The premium that they will have for about a year will make it impossible to buy but this time next year I should have enough money to get one and by then the craziness surrounding the car hopefully will be gone. I impatiently waiting on my MHI kit and it's killing me. I want 2nd gear to pull me around like a 240LB Bull Mastiff would a 10 year old child.

I have had the money for ages to buy anything, but because of my "practical side", I stick with the Z car.

As car and car maker keep getting better it has been hard to not go out and buy the current car of my dreams.

When balanced against the amount of fun I have in the Z vs another better car, it is hard to justify. If I had $50,000 worth of repairs to my Lotus, as my buddy did over an 18 month period, I would be far less enamored with the 370Z.

I am now in the process of spending all my money on an investment, so I do not need to steel myself against every cool car that has been offered over past couple of years.

As much as I would like a new Corvette or 911S, I would likely repurchase a Z.

It is just too good of a deal.

Well stated.

Got a number of heavy set Asian guys as friends, they all pretty cool to me!

If I am in the same situation, I will get another Z.

Because I like the Z very much..

Do you like the Z? If so, then get another one...

If not... then time for shopping..

Haboob · 08-07-2013, 09:05 AM

Would depend on the $$.

Most likely would only be enough to warrant another Z (which I do like).

I don't think it would be possible to go bigger still - even if they payed out $40k for the Z - I couldn't throw $40k down on another car. Maybe $10k (and that's pushing it) and use the rest for something else/save and make payments.

...because the only other cars I want at this point are $100-300k.

$40k wouldn't make a dent in those payments.
