370z or nsx

Magic Bus · 10-24-2013, 05:09 PM

Like you I have a GTI and that's a good daily drive.

If I had a choice to buy a new Z or a used NSX, I'd buy the new Z. In fact, when I bought my Z, a neighbor was interested in selling his NSX, but I wasn't interested. However, if I had already owned an NSX, not sure if I would sell it for the Z.

What does your wife drive? If it can be the practical car for the family, maybe keep the NSX and get the Z as your daily.

Good luck khoala, you can't go wrong either way.

I spend 28K for my 370Z with only 12k on the odo, practically new. I doubt that I will be able to find an NSX in this price range and in the same condition.

Keep the nsx, maybe drop some money into if needed. My friend has an nsx, he just spent a lot of money repainting it, updating the headlights, new seats, headers, stereo etc. man is it sweet. It's has such an iconic body style, and with the updates my friend did, it looks like it could be a 2014 car, doesn't look out dated.

Dude keep the NSX. You've asked a couple times why we bought a Z if given the choice of an NSX. Well, I bought the Z the beat the **** out of DD; change the oil and fart in the seats every now and then. It's my daily driver. My garage queen is not a Z but could be an NSX if the deal was right but the 370Z is not "rare" like some talk about and will go the way of Uncle Ben's as the resale price goes down.

Disclaimer: I'm not bashing the Z like some "leases" but enjoy flogging it like it should be.

i bought my Z cause i fell in luv with it the moment i saw one driving down the road. and when i test drove one it drove well, like a E46 bimmer-ish car and shorter wheel base and wider than the 350Z, i just thought it would make a great grand touring car for my weekend spirited drive.

4yrs + since taking ownership, im still enjoying the Z. and my Z is stock. mods are all photoshopped.

ka24king · 10-24-2013, 05:51 PM

ill trade you my z for the nsx lol

nah but really dont let go man i wish i could find a nice nsx.

khoala · 10-24-2013, 05:55 PM

I guess in a way I'm looking for something I can drive more often and not be too worried (i.e Z). But, damn you guys are making me rethink this. lol

Trade your NSX for my 2010 370z Plus $3000 and either get a 2013 Z or, as people advise, a 2010 and a 2013 are not that much different, so pocket the $3000.

Unless your 2010 is worth north of 30k. I don't think it would be fair for me.

Wrong...2013s are $3000 more than the 2014s. It's on the internet so it's true.

NSX > 370z in pretty much every way, except for maybe straight line speed

TXSpeedDemon · 10-24-2013, 09:43 PM

I looked at the NSX but chose the Z for a few reasons. Mostly the power potential. With the NSX it just felt wrong pushing the motor to ungodly power levels. It's such an iconic car I wouldn't want to do much of anything to it. With the Z I don't feel like I'm doing anything wrong by modifying the car.

Plus the Z was brand new so I knew I could get a few years worry free vs the unknown of a used NSX.

And finally the Z had some sentimental value since I remember the 84 300zx my dad had when I was young.

4 years later I'm married with a kid and don't do much modifying, plus only a 6 mile commute to work each day. I rarely drive dangerously and the Z doesn't hold much sentimental value to me any more - I'm probably gonna trade it in on something bigger once my wife gets pregnant again.

I would now consider something like the NSX just to have a classic that I love and could keep forever.

I think if you're past your racing days and just want something beautiful to cruise in you should keep the NSX. Unless you plan on seriously modifying the Z, tracking it or using it as a daily driver I don't see any benefit it has over the NSX.

If you do still want a Z and are in driving distance of Dallas or Houston send me a PM. Maybe we can work out a deal.

TheGreatOne · 10-24-2013, 10:19 PM

The NSX is such a rare and sick car, I'm one of those that might say to keep it. But what does yours look like, got a pic? I won't lie, I'm not the biggest fan of it in pure stock form

I've wondered if I would trade my Z for a clean NSX, I don't know if I could...It would be a hard decision. I definitely love my Z, I don't see tons here but seeing the NSX around is like seeing a Unicorn lol, especially a well modded one.

TheGreatOne · 10-24-2013, 10:24 PM

I mean...really....so sexy
