Should i trade for a Z?

If you buy a Z, you will have a much more impressive and prestigious car. Do it.

You would feel differently about class and speed and this car if you could drive it like I do here in Germany. Bone stock. The class part is particularly irrelevant to the discussion. Its crass to put it mildly.

This car will double the US speed limit stock. In fact it will exceed the 155 limiter if disabled, stock.

I consider the Z much more than a high priced tuner car. It came nicely tuned from the factory given its cost factor. Its not a tuner car. Define that and your post might just matter.

im with DLSTR on the 370Z. it's a great car out of the box. i just did some minor tweaks to make it mine. that's really all the car needs.

It probably won't look grown up next to the BMW's etc at work/clients. Which he mentioned was a concern also.

I was surprised to recently be invited into a group of cars that are all AMG's, GTR's, Z01's, GT3 and many M3's. While I feel like the runt of the litter lol apparently the Z (at least the way mine is modded) its respected by them and welcomed.

So I think the Z will fit the bill for looks and a few basic mods can keep you happy for a bit but you will want boost eventually to put you into the 500hp category from what it sounds like.

335 kinda gives you the best of both words but I agree that the interior is lacking and you could be looking a many dealership visits which is annoying. But its an awesome platform.

Also I don't know about your area, but around here the 370 is not on every corner...so thats one aspect I like.

Gimmie a break. Who u think u r? Dude don't even come at me like that. This is a normal convo and ur coming off like you know something the rest of us don't cuz ur on the autobahn???

Take that shyt somewhere else. We push limits here too dude.

Why is the Z a tuner car. Try looking up tuner parts for Z and compare to other NA cars... For a car that only sells 5000 units a year. We have more parts than most.

Get real dude.

it's okay. come back when you are done with modding cars and stuff. then you will appreciate the 370Z more. that's wat i meant in my earlier post.

GL!

If a GTR is what you REALLY want wait it out. moving to another car would be a waste of money. A 400 HP G coupe can hold you over. pay your car off if its not already and just wait until you can get a used GTR. I to am getting a GTR so if thats what i want. why go spend money some where else?
