What did you drive before your 370z?

Fun to drive...takes turns like a beast but besides that very unpractical have for about a year and half only put 3500 miles on it...and in Vegas you can drive around in it without burning your *** off exhaust is pointing into your legs so just horrible in the summers

I had an s2k when I lived in vegas. Had that soft top torn more times that I'd like to count.

2013 Fiat 500 Abarth #2 Owned it two years - Suspension, intake, exhaust, downpipe and tune - Good for roughly 240 hp, though with non-stop issues, it never produced anything near those numbers. Only thing it had going for it was the exhaust. It sounded excellent and I could get it to backfire and throw fireballs on command. Traded it in for the Z.

2013 Fiat 500 Abarth #1 Owned it less than a month (4 days before first payment due). Intake only. Moron pulled out in front of me and totaled both cars. His Toyota Corolla was much worse. Traded the '91 Miata in for this.

1991 Mazda Miata BRG #581 of 4000 - British Racing Green - Full exhaust, fully adjustable coil over suspension, light-weight clutch & flywheel, short shifter, 200+ lbs weight reduction, soft top delete, LED headlights, all interior and exterior LED lighting, '97 dash conversion, custom instrument cluster faces, 160k+ miles, Plasti-Dip custom blue, vintage interior, etc, etc...

There's many more, but I'm going to give it a rest for now before I piss you all off. LOL It's time for me to...

I used to drive 2008 accord coupe in a 5 speed! Pretty rare to find. Yes, I'm a stance guy because the accord was so slow I was like hey, if it's so slow might as well drive low and slow

3000gt vr4... spent more time in the shop than on the streets.

laserbluemini · 08-29-2016, 08:24 PM

2000 Audi A4 2.8 quattro auto.
2003 mini cooper S 6speed. modded with intake, Supercharger pulley, full catback exhaust, ecu, and OZ superleggeras. the true go kart and sounds amazing when the exhaust pops and burble.
2007 mini cooper S 6speed. turbo power but boring like a BMW.
2007 acura CSX 5speed. just a car.
now im loving the 2017 370z base.

Always liked the idea of a go kart Mini. Get it up to 300whp and it'd be a blast!

and even has back seats, sorta

Had a ton of vehicles, but immediately before the Z I had a little A3 pocket rocket.

i dont think it was possible to hit 300whp. maybe with a turbo+supercharger setup or just turbo and strengthened engine. but this was around 8-9 years ago when i modded it so i dun rmb anymore. lol

on the audi 2.0T u should be able to hit 300 easily with bolt ons right?

Yep, several ways to do it

Previous car was a 2003 C5 Corvette Coupe with 6MT. It was plenty fast and with gobs of torque. It was mainly stock except for a complete Corsa exhaust, adjustable Koni shocks and Eibach sways. In the end, I traded it in for my '16 Nismo which has similar HP but delivered very high in the rev range. The Z is a lot more fun to drive without any electronic gremlins.

Yeah, I took a Slingshot out for a test drive once. I was thinking of getting one and I'm glad I didn't. Way too much plastic and those rubber seats.........ouch. I particularly disliked the engine choice.
