Buy Used or New?

Do people actually buy a 370z to baby it? I'd hope the majority buy it to drive it like it was meant to be driven. Doesn't mean beating the crap

What do you care how others drive their cars. If i buy a lambo and drive 5 miles an hour under the speed limit and never hit the track how does it affect you? Some peoples children....

Apparently, you do care. lol

This is getting off topic, but Z owners should drive however it suits them. If that means caning it, tracking it, then so be it. If that means putt-putting to car shows or on lazy cruises, then ok.

But back to topic, yeah, any time you look at a used performance car, there's a greater likelihood that it has been put through the grinder than some putt putter.
