It was either the Z or a Challenger SRT. I'm afraid the Dodge is a polished turd. The Z will be the better car in the long run. Both look amazing but the Z wins out.

Oh wait, you're a girl. When i told my co-worker my next car after the Z will be the cayman.

he said the cayman look sissy.

so it's true, you're girl and you like the cayman.

My hope is dashed.

I've always liked the Z cars. I saw the 370Z in a magazine and I immediately told my wife that I have to have one when it's time to buy a new car.

We were about to buy a VW Tiguan for my wife when she said that I should buy the Z instead. I have a cool wife! She likes riding in the 370z but she doesn't want to drive it. She calls it the "Hot Car".

I never miss the Chicago Auto Show and the 09 I walk in to the Nissan direction to see what they had because I was going to b in the market the following yr, when I saw the Z it was like when you look at one of the hottest females ever and you can't stop starring at her lol so I believe it took 5 min in the inside of the Z when I told my girl this is it I'm getting it =)) and a yr later it was in my garage 2010 Z. And can't b happier.

Got tired of taking the NSX out of town for repairs (every 6 months), so didn't really want a Porsche, looked at the (affordable) two seaters and decided it was the best bang for the buck. I may have considered the Z4 if the current model had been available then and will probably still get a Cayman S PDK someday when I get over my out of town dealership flashbacks (great dealer, but 50 mile tow gets annoying).

Unless I make some money and buy something more exotic
