Damn son you are spoiled
I believe noone is hating here, it's just that in general, most teens are stupid when a powerful car is involved, myself included.
Congrats on the car though!

oh, buy the 350 so there's one less 370z on the road LOL

well when you put it like that lol, you do sound spoiled. no need to tell everyone who paid for what and that you dont pay for gas or insurance, of course people will think you are spoiled lol... Anyway, If anyone, we blame your parents...

The main point is that a 16 year old is not experienced with driving enough to handle a fast car, and its not a wise decision...

Not every 16 year old is responsible enough to own a sports car for their first vehicle. But in your case the 370Z was given to you. You are very fortunate to be in that situation.

I'm sure many teens own nicer, faster, and more expensive cars as their first vehicle but saving up for and spending your entire savings on any vehicle isn't a wise choice.

To answer your question OP... The 370Z has serious issues with cooling, and another area where the 350Z excels (ever so slightly) is in fuel tank design. If I were you, I'd buy a gently used 07-08 350Z and save the rest for maintenance.

No offense taken, but the Z is no v8 musclecar, the Z is a non-aspirated v6, for a v6 the power is pretty up there. But I think the OP should buy an 07 350z or G35. I actually would go G35 due to insurance being lower and the 07 G being a rare car. Don't pay over 21k and less than 30k miles. Then the other 15 or so k you have saved... I would use half to mod and save half for something else. But wait a year before you mod. Drive the car "SAFELY" and learn tthe cars limits under the legal conditions. Then customize based on your needs and weaknesses.
