Because just after i got my 2009 Audi A4 Quattro, i randomly ended up in a Nissan dealership parking lot look at it, a total of 6 times, so at the one year mark i lost 25k on the A4 and left with a Z i ordered and it had 6 miles on it. Haven't looked back or at anything else..... and i would buy another if i could to keep completely stock.

Because I live my life a quarter mile at a time and in those 20 seconds or less nothing else matters.

Our ZR was totally an impulse buy. Was on our way to CostCo and stopped by the Nissan dealer. Traded in our WRX.

Apparently, the dealer having their cars viewable from the street works for them. :icon17:

My dad owned a 280zx, my best friend's dad drove a 280z, that same best friend drives a 350z, so I thought I should join the club & carry the legacy. Lol

& besides.. the 370z is a badass sports car!

Fast, sporty, fun, affordable (for me), and it looks like a million bucks!! :tup:

I got the Z because I never got over my 300ZX after I got involved in a serious crash. I was always longing for another Z. Kinda like the girlfriend you can't get over just because she dumped you, you want to get her back so you can dump her :icon17:

BTW, bada$$ car!

In spite of owning a P.O.S. B210 - 1977 and my first new car, I bought a Z! :rofl2:

Seriously, having owned a few RX-7s and a Supra pre-children, once little gurney went off to college, I traded in my 2005 TL for the third G37S delivered in New Orleans. I was blown away with the build quality, but disappointed with the bulk, and frankly the styling.

The G35 was a beautiful car with an underachieving interior. The G37 has the interior, but the styling went cold on me pretty quick.

The 370Z is a totally different animal for me - sexy, sexy styling, great build quality, and just enough luxury in the interior without getting too plush. On the 30 mile drive home from the dealership last week, it reminded me so much of my 1983 RX-7. I didn't realize how much I missed that car until then.

I thought about a 911 as I have always lusted for one. I thought about an M3 too, but this is my daily driver, and I just don't want the hassles of endless minor glitches and outrageous maintenance. Just listening to three co-workers compalin about their M3's convinced me to stay with Nissan.

I washed it for the first time today and look forward to seriously detailing it this weekend. Some people play golf or fish, I like cleaning and driving my car.

I have become addicted to this Board. I appreciate the tips and the advice. I want to learn how to wrap my interior pieces in CF like Ken did. I installed my GTR button and Nav by-pass today.

Next up is a carbon fiber fang from the Z store. That comes next week. I'd like to do the EVO rear fog light too. Should have my VentureShield clear bra installed by Labor Day.

I've joined the Z Club of Houston, and will attend my first Cars and Coffee next weekend.

Emotionally attached to this car? You bet.

Cheers.

Maybe it's just me, not the Z. :icon17:

had a 280zx many years ago. Loved that car. Drove it till it fell apart.
I've been waiting my whole life for a high end sports car.
Saw the 370 and loved the lines. Drove it, loved the performance.
It's probably the best car I'm ever going to own.
Haven't regretted it for a second!!!!!
