Why did you buy 370z

stiggy · 12-12-2013, 05:24 PM

What made you choose 370z?

For me, i tried both powerful cars with less handling abilities and nimble cars that are relatively low on power.

The latter one is more fun/rewarding to drive, for me.

I sold my 2012 Charger and got a 2007 manual 350z. Loved the car but hated the interior and the clutch.

Now i have the 370z and loving it, apart from the exhaust note.

Have absolutely loved the look of the 370Z since it was released in '09. Mulled it over and figured out I needed it by early 2013.

- Looks beautiful and sexy
- Has a measure of uniqueness to it on the road (i.e. not "common")
- V6 (I'm a V6 guy, but 4+turbo is winning me over these days)
- Has fun power and drives well, without relying on aftermarket
- felt great driving it and being inside of it
- not stupid expensive

Also have no family at the moment, so I can still get away with a 2-seater.

I'm ridiculously reserved and introverted, so the last thing I want is attention, but it is way fun the rubber necking one gets with the Z. I would dare say there's no other stock, "easily" accessible car that gets looks like that from anyone (not just the "car guys") that costs less than $100k.

Agree with you. I would add relatively not expensive to run and one of the last old school sports
I still got a sedan for the family. I figured a V8 wont hurt

Got a used E63. Freakin train on a straight.

Loved the way it looked. I also wanted a track car that I didn't need to do anything to or very little. And I got a great deal.
