Also checked for reposts. None thus far. Though the bimmer is FI. Its a much fairer review than others concocted on here. We have two, 2 seat coupes with v6 motors. The Z is way cheaper at base. Kool vid. Check it out.

yes, but we've all seen the video, and the goal is to keep the discussion in one thread.

have at it. Starting a whole bunch of new threads is technically against forum rules, but it's not my job to enforce that.

Just trying to put in some new stuff in here. topics that are way more Z focused. The social Z threads have boiled down to talking about other cars. That's kool but when other cars become more of the main topic than our cars. It gets corny. Yeah I started 5 new threads today. All extremely different topics. All directly Z related. The only thread that's any fun but is already dragged to hell is what have we done witth our Z's today? Then the mod sections. But those threads are made like once a month. Most are old and get miniscule posts these days. I don't even think people go there anymore. I was just tryin to help get enthusiasts enthusiastic again.
In a bad economy and rapid social change. These convos are fun. At least imho. And the threads I posted are doing rather well. I get a few party poopers but most guys are talking about there cars and not someone elses. I like hearing about what you guys do as Z owners. Not what Joe shmo pulls in his audi, vette or mustang.

If forum rules means I can't create multiple conversations about the Z, then so be it. I call it a stupid rule but hey... its not my forum. Last thread I make for a looong azz time.

AK or whoever can close my threads and we can go back to talking bout mostly about other cars and less about Z's again.

this thread might be more up your alley. Conversation stays mostly Z-centric.

What did you do with your Z today

I've driven both and in my opinion the Z4 is a more luxurious and class defining vehicle than the 370z. However, in terms of overall performance and cost, the 370z wins hands down. If I had an extra $10k+ to buy the BMW with the options and aftermarket upgrades I wanted, then I would. Both cars are nice.

i test drove a Z4 a couple months ago and it didnt seem to have nearly as much power as the 370. the interior was a lot better though imo. black exterior with extended red leather interior.
