The performance is fantastic and the stying of the car are well... I just love how it looks. I love how they've integrated the looks of the 240Z but didn't try to make it look like an updated version like all the other retro cars out ther. My wife thought I was crazy buying a car I hadn't driven or even sat in.
Well, way back in the day, in my early 20's, I had the unfortunate circumstance of becoming homeless. I wasn't sleeping on the streets though, because I had my '85 300ZX!

Head underneath the rear hatch handle, legs pushed up onto the center console between the seats... it was a tight fit, but it got the job done!

The next day after I bought my Z I leaped out of bed (much earlier than I usually get up) and got a rush of excitement and ran to the garage and turned the light on to see it sitting there.. I still couldn't believe I actually owned it. It's been a long time since i've been this excited about a car..

Weeks later i'm getting very used to it now.. Still nice to break necks of people looking at it though. It feels slower now too because im used to it's power. Time for mods.

Those pics are dangerously close to showing effort. That first one looks like it's breaking in half. LOL.

Is there another vehicle as hideous as the Aztec or as sexy as the 370Z? This is like the Sweet and Sour combo - I think it works

Dear god, no! There is nothing as ugly as an Aztec. I read somewhere someone called it a garbage truck. Yep, that's exactly what it looked like.

Who in their right mind would ever look at that thing and say to themselves "Yep, that's the car for me"??

Hrrmmm... maybe it's just been a while, but I think I'd do her in the back of her Aztec! (at least you wouldn't be forced to look at the OUTSIDE of the thing!)

She's even got a tramp stamp!

I'm also buying mine without ever seeing one in person. My local dealers don't have any on the lot. I am a 350z owner and i love it...gotta have the 370. Seeing how much 370z owners love and praise their car on here I have no doubt. Next week baby!

Whereabouts in WV are you, Premo? I've got family in Wheeling, Sistersville, Parkersburg and Charleston (all on the wife's side).
