the Z after a few days

matt2112 · 07-30-2009, 09:05 AM

so i finally picked up my Z a couple of days ago, and here are my initial impressions:

the car is GORGEOUS!! after spending an extended period of time with the Z, i no have a comprehensive appreciation for just how stunning this car is to look at, both inside and out. the view from inside the cabin is especially nice! the Z's lines are perfectly placed, and this car looks mean!

seeing as how i'm in the break-in stage (keeping it under 4500 rpm for the first 1000km), i can't comment on the performance. suffice it to say, however, that the ride quality is top notch. the s-mode takes some getting used to, but i can tell it will be a fun feature.

i had doubts about the color combo i chose. initially, i chose white on gray, but after seeing the gray in person, i called the dealership and begged for a change to black on persimmon. THANK GOD i made the change. i don't mean to take anything away from white on gray owners, but i'm now convinced that black on persimmon is, hands down, the best color combo.

my only gripe with the Z is, in my opinion, a small but ridiculous design decision: why is the headlight indicator light green???? it completely sticks out from the rest of the instrument panel, and not in a good way. why on earth would anyone think it would be a good idea to stick a green LED on an exclusively orange instrument panel?? lol

anyways, despite the odd green LED, i give the Z an A+ after a few days of driving!!!!

You better - otherwise we'll start calling you "fat a**" even even if you are just "big boned". Pass the Cheesy Poofs, godamnit.

congrats on getting the car, it can be very difficult to keep it below 4500 though..
