In seriousness, though, if I owned a car long enough and it was totaled I'd probably replace it with something else. I had the Z for 14 months, so I'd have replaced it with something different if it was totaled then. If the Mustang gets whacked... I would probably get a GTR or something German.

There are just too many cars out there for me to try. Can't stick with one for too long.

It's hard for an old "street rodder" to believe they kept the Buick and discontinued the Pontiac.Almost got the 09 Solstice but the Ruby Red Saturn Sky Redline S.E. won me over.Bummers. Reason number 2, I owned a 95 Nissan twin turbo, Awesome car, very fast. Also owned 4 vetts but that was a "had to have thing" I still believe that everyone should own at least one vett in their lifetime.

Wow.. a LOT of simularities... I have also owned a Pontiac Fiero ('86 and couldn't keep it from overheating... mid engined, FRONT mounted radiator with that HORRIBLE plumbing to connect the two was ridiculous in my opinion) was also thinking about buying a Solstice, but the lines on the Sky won me over too, lol. And every since I was a about 10 years old I have wanted to buy a Corvette.... As a matter of fact I just had the "Dreaded Push Start Fail" happen to me on my '09 370Z and its made me start thinking about buying a Corvette Z06, which is about the ONLY car i'd rather be driving than the the 370Z.

Yes I would replace it with a NEW 2013 in the new red metallic, 7AT/Sports. NO question!

Those front bumper mounted "light rails" killed the 2013 for me.. thats gonna be one of those "love em or hate em" stying options like the rear signal lights on the 350's... i didnt like those either. The '09-'12 Z's with the 7AT and Paddle shifters.. perfection!

I considered a solstice, but they cornered shytty, average handling and numb steering. The engine was a dream though. Styling, nice enough to fukk with most sports cars. Clean dash layout but shytty storage. Imho the solstice was a 24k car with a 35k price tag.

sheps58 · 05-01-2012, 03:33 PM

If i could I would purchase a 993 porsche coupe. I think a 911 air cooled Porsche's are great cars.

However, at the the 370 is a great sports car.

I totally agree! The Saturn Sky even handled better than the Solstice and had better lines. But at the 370Z's price point i don't think there is ANYTHING out there that can match its performance, handling/braking or come anywhere close to it in the "looks" department... not even Infinity's "G" series that a LOT of people compare it to. I -STILL- get people that come up and ask "WHAT is that?" and when I respond and say its a Nissan Z some have said things like "I thought that was a newer Porsche" or "Thats a NISSAN", wow!"

People always think mine is a 350Z.

Unless was a new model....

A lot of people aren't familiar with the nomenclature of the Z. Since the 350 ran for a long time, and the 370 retains the same general profile as the 350, most people tend to think it's the "new" 350 model.

UNKNOWN_370 · 05-02-2012, 03:38 AM

I get a lot of the 350z thing. But I got a couple of women thinking its a porsche. Lol. But most people think my car costs between $50-60k. Wwhen I tell them it cost me 37k otd, they are shocked and say it looks like its a lot more.

My mom can just barely tell the difference between a 350 and 370 and that's only because she sees my car in the parking lot on a daily basis.

RiCharlie · 05-02-2012, 08:44 AM

I definitely would buy a new.. Z although I might look at the Audi R8..Seems like a great car except for the little matter of money..

DIGItonium · 05-02-2012, 09:21 AM

With all the work done and money spent on this car I'd take a break!!!

bdavis89 · 05-02-2012, 01:22 PM

Love the car, so much so that my wife gets mad at me and says I love the car more than her, but I would definitely try something new if someone totaled it by hitting me.

That being said, I plan on driving this car for the next 5+ years, and turning it into my fun third car once we have children..if she lets me keep it that is..
