Default 370z or nsx

Hello,

I'm new to the forum, however, Ive been reading this forum for the last 2-3 months ( a lot of helpful info). Anyways, I owned a 95 NSX at the moment, but every time I see a 370z on the road it always make me drool...haha. After reading the forum, I' m leaning toward trading the nsx in for a 13 Z. I have a gti for DD, so I'm not too concerned with mpg or roughness. It's most likely will be my weekend toy like the nsx is now. Really, I just want honest opinion from current Z owners on whether I should go ahead with it. Please let me know what you all think.

Thanks,
Khoala

you should get a 370Z, but you should also keep your NSX if you can. you might regret it later not because you bought the Z, but because the NSX is going to be a classic.

I agree with this. Don't sell your NSX, it is one of the best cars ever built imo. Save the miles and paint on the NSX and daily drive the Z.

And just in case, DONT sell the NSX man.


Don't sell it.

Don't.

For real don't.

Good car; NSX........Don't.

keep it bone stock but make sure keep the NSX in very very good condition.

A bone stock mint condition classis is always much much more beautiful than a heavily modded.

it's not the matter of it is faster than which car, since you don't need to smoke every single car on the street to be the eyes-catcher.

like my previous posts... you are keeping it for its whole package...


It is a NSX.... it is always the classic piece.

I agreed that I should keep the nsx, however, it's doesn't get driven much. I put a total of 3k miles this year. It's tough to drive it often because I always feel uneasy about parking it. Plus we have a two car garage and the wife car already claimed one spot, and I really don't want to leave either one outside. so yeah can only have one at the moment.

i c... hummm.... can you tell your wife to go take a hike?

just kidding.

btw, i put 3k+ on my Z this year, and less than 2K on my G. just because i dont put mileage on them doesnt mean i dont enjoy the cars, nor do i feel the need to sell them.

i get confused when people say they're selling their cars cause they dont drive them much. just because i dont use one of the bathrooms in the house much doesnt mean im going to yank the toilet out of the floor and sell it. ok that made no sense.

Same here Kenchan! Garage queen cars are not supposed to be driven a lot, detailed properly, yes, and driven for pure satisfaction.

My problem was I didnt drive my last car much because I was afraid to. I didnt want it damaged and if I drove it anywhere it had to be cleaned as it looked like crap even with a tiny bit of dust on it. I ended up buying a use car with a couple of dings in it and white in color. Now even though its a garage queen I can drive it and I am not afraid of doing so. When I had the IPL the color was horriffic and the paint crap. I had the front repainted shortly after buying it due to rock chips then a clear bra. It was just a nightmare although I loved the car. I just wish I had bought it in gray color instead of the Malbec Black. It was a love hate relationship. I loved the car so much I couldn't drive it. That I hated. It became a Porsche Cayman S.
