Rob, you get points for doing your research. Second, you get points for considering the rather significant leap from the Accent you are driving now!

Post pics when you drive the new baby home!

No it's not. My cars been in for service plenty of times. They actualy liked the fact that I had an oil cooler. Told me it was a smart move. Only if the cooler causes failure like a line coming off and letting all your oil out and you drive it until it blows up. Which is highly unlikely. I had o e extensive warranty repair involving the timing chain And crank pulley gateway. With all my mods covered with no problem .

If your dealer told you that. They are wrong and you need to find a new one.

Once again I appreciate all the input guys and the nice welcome! I have not driven a 370Z yet, but I am sure I will like it. Ive been a sprtscar guy forever and have gone through a nice list of rides. I actually sold my '04 Carrera last night to make room for the Z. Believe or not, the Porsche did'nt thrill me like I had hoped it would. It was a Tiptronic auto, which is what I am getting in the Z. Kinda got tired of sticks and shifting all the time....I guess Im gettin old Lookin for the easier driver now, but one that still has some zip......obviously!

I'll keep u guys posted on my purchase!

Rob
