What did you drive before your 370z?

LT419 · 08-18-2011, 05:04 PM

2001 VW Jetta.

Bit of a step up I guess.

370z1 · 11-02-2011, 09:01 PM

Before driving the Z i had the following

1) Pontiac G8 (430 HP) V8 GM L76 motor with after market cold air intake, Flow Master Exhausts, Performance Chip with aggressive map.

2) [Honda 929 CBR RR] (996cc DOHC) (148HP) did the quarter mile in 10.1s @ 137mph. After market chip with aggressive air/fuel map with race exhaust. (0-70mph in 3.9 seconds)

Now I drive the Ultimate track car 370Z.......... Wish our Super chargers would come down in price, I can imagine what our track beasts would feel like off the launch with an extra 140HP..... and all that extra torque.

2001 Camaro SS, stock motor, modified chassis, lowered a bit with matched shocks, realignment, frame braces.

Mind blowing performance for the money, engine and handling, still miss the engine.

Had the Accord coupe, 350Z, and '03 Ram at the same time. Sold the Z when I got divorced. Traded the Honda for the new 370 and still have the 2500 Ram 4x4 too.

New current wife has a '10 Honda CRV and a '02 Excursion. Do those count for my list too?

Oh, did you mean RIGHT BEFORE this Z? .....Sorry, I got carried away.

Good lord, I'm 41 and I've only owned 3 cars including my Z, not including family cars (had two of those). At this rate I'll own only 6 cars in my whole life! You've got 22 and still kicking.

Well I drove my Bugatti Veyron Grandsport for a while and just got tired of it. I stopped by Nissan and traded it in for the Z. I still owed a million on the Bugatti so I have negative 1 million going into my Z. I'm financing the Z for 1 million plus $40,000 for the Z.

I probably forgot a couple of cars. I have probably had as many motorcycles too. Dirt, Street and Dual sport.

RX7 was the car before the 370Z. It just wasn't refined enough, my son is here and I don't have time to tinker with a car right now.
