making the switch to a Z, but have a concern

Mr&Mrs · 10-19-2012, 07:58 PM

Why wait sell the SS, and get into a 370z ASAP. Like you said you will get way more looks in this car then your SS. It will cost a lot more to get the kind of power you were making out of SS with the 370z, but its worth it!

I am so over the whole power thing. honestly i put headers and a cam in my camaro for sound reasons. was fine with the stock power.

the car is up for sale as of today on couple sites/forums. looking to have a Z within months.

i plan to keep the 370z stock, as i plan to daily drive it. kind of over the modding thing also. after doing it, it gets real old.

what i plan to do is. rims, springs, cat back.

You said your over modding then mention what i plan to do is. rims, springs, cat back

Might as well add a CAI and tune into that list to wake up the midrange power of the car.

The Z unds like a POS stock. Reconsider that one.

With all the mods you've done, you're going to end up taking a loss on the deal. Is it really worth it to be in a somewhat more unique car? Around here, I see lots of G's (mostly awd), Z's, camaro's, mustangs, etc... The only thing that bothers me is that most of them are automatics. True enthusiasts drive with 3 pedals, not 2

So GTR, Lambo and Audi R8 drivers aren't true enthusiasts???

3/4 of NEW Z34 buyers, that have NO experience with previous Z/G or similar vehicles, are impulse buyers. They buy the car for its rarity and image. They think less about the type of performance it gives. If you are looking for a highway beast and weekend quarter mile track car. The SS is the car for many... or mustang. But if you're looking to maximize your experience in the corners, canyon runs and road coarse style track days. The Z is for you... though not as neutral and balanced as a FRS/BRZ and not as powerful as the MUSCLE 3 top line cars... it offers a median between the 2 styles of cars that a neutral enthusiast who feels comfortable with either import or domestic can feel comfy in a Z.

Never buy a car based on looks and image if it's a sports car. You truly have to find what fits. At least if you're buying a sports car for the SPORT of it. If your sole interest is looking good? I guess it doesn't matter. Honestly, buying a sports car based solely on image is a waste of cash. But to each his own. Not saying that's you... But you definitely should have spent more time test driving the Z to see if it fits.

The Z is truely a small market car. Most people in our country are far right or left in there sport car choices.

LMAO!!! I KINDA agree, the Z needs at least an intake then exhaust to really open it up, but it really wasn't that bad when I had it stock...

And yeah, I think in a few years you won't find a car with 3 pedals, I REALLY appreciate a manual, but accelerating to 60 is my game... An auto is quicker, sorry... (I know a 370 isn't the best straight line car, but it's the car I have and I just like the 370 a lot...

And you forgot Ferraris, Aston Martins, Porsches, McLaren's MP4-12C, and Mercedes' SLS, and the SLR... (I probably forgot a few) LOL

Must've missed it. I'd seriously consider Headers on this car. Not the most popular mod but I've heard one and the depth added is awesome. Will be my next engine mod.

Adding headers is a BIITCH, and if you're going to add a catback, you're not going to gain that much... It also seems to make the exhaust sound tinny...

+1 on headers the PPe net close to 30 whp on a stock 370z.
