making the switch to a Z, but have a concern

obito

I would love to spend money into something that outstanding. we can find Camaro or Mustang every stoplight as you've been saying. What about the Z ? you bought a car worth than regular cars then you suppose to get outstanding outcome. Maybe, It's not about performance,but at least people looking at you and asking themselves. What is that nice car right there?

The only girl I have seen with a Z in my area drives a sport Montery Blue, and let me tell ya, she drives that thing like she stole it. Lol. It took everything I had to catch up to her one day in town. Finally got up next to her, she had already seen me and had the window down, came to a stop right before the light turned green. All she got off was yelling really loud that she loves the car. Lol. Then she took off again like a bat out of hell. I was like YES

I had a '10 SS and i traded it on a brand new '10 Z with sports package. Sorry to say it, but I missed my camaro every single time I drove my Z. I still wish i wouldnt have gotten rid of it.

out of the 5 370zs i have seen in my town. two of them were driven my "moms" its looked like.

out of the 100,000 of camaros and mustangs i have seen in my town. about 50,000 were a "mom".

cant wait for the Z.

there was a guy on my forums, that had a 370z nismo and a SS. he sold the nismo and kept the SS. said he liked the SS better.

Jordo!

Next gen Z is unlikely to be available before 2016.

Relative to your Camaro, the Z will feel much more nimble, but also less torquey (of course, if you want to spring for FI, the sky's the limit).

Stock (or lightly NA modded) the Z is a very capable all around sports car, but it is NOT a powerhouse, relative to a built V8 muscle car.

I'd go with a 2012 over a 2013 -- the small differences between the two are mainly cosmetic, and the 2012's should be available for a few grand less.

Test drive one and see what you think -- good luck!

that first comment really makes me feel good about getting a Z. i want the current looks for at least 2 years. from a purchase, which will most be this winter.

Just turbo the z and put some nos on it

mikeSS

i really want to keep it in stock forum, after modding my camaro as much as i did. it turns into a weekend car. which is not what i want anymore. i want to drive a sports car everyday. and not worry about ****, to be put it in simple terms. IDK if you have modded a engine like that before. but one thing that they always say is. nothing is 100% bulletproof, and if you want reliability. keep it stock or very basic bolts ons.

most of the time with good parts, tuner, INSTALLER. you will be fine. but i need to be able to take it to a Nissan dealership anywhere in my state, and not worry about getting something fixed. all they should be able to work with OEM parts.

Yeah I have seen that most people who go FI start to have engine problems, suprising how many people actually deal with issues from FI, but most of which arent documented.

Test drive one though..and I would go with the touring over a base. The base seats are a bit too firm as a DD.

I had a '10 Roadster, it bit the dust, but that was because the dealership I bought it from owned it prior and bagged it. I wanted a Roadster over the Coupe as its just a more fun car to drive..but no roadsters were available.

They gave me a '11 coupe and its nice, but I couldn't keep it stock - main reason is because the stock sound of a Z is..well not for everyone. Once you do the mods though it comes alive and well is just that - a muscle car

Buy 2011 or 2012, touring with sports package and you'll be set, as for color its your choice.

I've had mine for a little over a year now... Every time I go in the garage and see it I think, man, that's a cool car.
