As-is - un-modified....not for track ........

Seems like almost everybody on this site has, or is, going to modify, or track, their 370Z. Just curious how many members are simply going to leave their Z as-is?

my will stay as is for a while. its my daily driver and its main purpose is getting me to work and back every day.

I have a set of GT600R turbos, manifolds, new injectors, fuel rail etc at home waiting to be put on my 300ZXTT. That will satisfy my desire to mod a car for now.

I purposely bought mine in 7AT with the intentions of driving my Z as a daily driver.

However, that isn't going to stop me from cosmetic upgrades to separate my Z from the thousands of other 370Z's that going to flood the LA market. Mods I'm looking into the near future on my Z are new shoes, springs, badges, and a HFC for a deeper tone.

I'm keeping mine stock until the warranty runs out. Accessories i.e. non-mechanical/electrical maybe.

Hey LSU, I see you got a nice yellow z32 tt and your 370. If you had to choose between those 2, brand new to brand new, which one would you take? And which do you like better, honestly?

I think one's past history with cars, in a way might pre-determine the modify or not story. I have had a nice assortment of rides (56 Studebaker Golden Hawk...68 Camaro SS396...73 Trans Am...65 Griffith...05 Subaru Baja...), that tempted modification, but I resisted. The 370Z will similarly fit into the same non-modified track record.

You know, if I had the two cars in front of me brand new, I would, undoubtedly, take the 300ZXTT. Twin Turbo, low, flat and good looking, thats hard to beat. I have had mine for almost 14 years and still love it. It is still my favorite and is the kind of car that almost forces you to drive the hell out of it when you get behind the wheel. Just a fun, fun car.

the best thing, for me, is having them both. I love the 370. It looks great, has great performance and Nissan did so much right with the car. I enjoy having it and having the twin turbo to mod and play with. I like the 370 so much that I have gotten the idea lately that I may drive it a year or two and pick up a little truck for daily driving and use the Zs for fun. That idea still needs wife approval. I think she will be Ok with it.

IMO these two - 300ZXTT and 370Z - are the best two Zs ever made. I do want a 240Z to restore and have a mini collection, but that is down the road. While the 240Z is an iconic car, I don't think it brings to the table what the other two do.

and BTW, I saw your comment on my pic - LSU is taking the National Title this year! It should be a great year, USC is always a contender and even though they need a QB and some defensive rebuilding they will be tough as always. I would love to see the two finally match up in a BCS game - hopefully THE BCS game. Good luck to the Trojans!

I suspect that's more wishful thinking than anything else...in any case, until there is a true playoff for it, the "national title" is pretty much nothing but Bovine Scatology anyway.

I kinda imagined you'd take the z32 tt over the z34. The z32 tt was my dream car back in high school. I saw it for the first time when it very first came out. I saw it on a billboard, I was 14 couldn't drive, had no idea what a "Z" was. I seriously thought Porsche or some high-end Euro comany built the Z32.

My friend had the z32 tt brand spanking new in '91, and to make the long story short, he was spoiled ,the only child and you get the picture. He even got the Rx7 twin turbo a couple years later brand new as well. Anyways, he never let me drive it b/c I didn't know how to drive a stick then, but the rx7 he did.

I never drove the z32 tt, but the na I did. Uhh...yeah, the Z32 is timeless. It's still goregous granted it's clean and not neglected nor riced-out. I'd take the z34 for the fact that it's newer technology and na (which implies it'll be more durable than a twin turbo motor), and also the styling is 21st century. But once again, the Z32 tt is timeless. If I could burn some money, I'd buy either a clean z32 or clean FD3s.
