How has your 370Z held up?

Streetlife · 12-10-2011, 09:56 AM

When i test drove the 370z it was base+auto, so i really didn't get use to it like i wanted to. I have a cool salesman though, i floored it and was very impressed with the response of the motor and the transmission shifts in manual mode with the stick felt perfect. I'm use to paddle shifting in a few loaner Acura's my wife has had when i get her car serviced for her, but they didn't feel as interconnected to the vehicle as the auto Nissan created for the 370z does. Once my girl arrives, i can know how Base+sport feels, plus a few mods i feel are necessary (i am more into detailing a perfectly new car than adding horsepower all the time, and Nissan did their homework so well on the 370z that not much unimpressed me). I've learned from the OG's about modding (like Kenchan), i only want a CBE+y-pipe and silicone MAF Tubes and replace rubber hoses with silicone hoses from Z1, that black friday special was something i couldn't pass up, and Z1 Motorsports Passion for Z's is what i look for in an aftermarket company, they're top notch along with the quality and customer service to match.

CBE systems include a new y pipe.

Most do, but not Tanabe (after months of research on CBE's and actually hearing this CBE i had to have it). I appreciate you telling me that just in case i was dealing with a vendor or dealer who was trying to rip me off, hasn't happened of course.
