why not, gets way better gas mileage that both of those cars you list as DD

C63= 13 city/19 highway 15 combined

M5= 14 city/20 highway 16 combined

Compare Side-by-Side

Because they will be a more civilized dd. IDC as much about mileage as i do ride quality, comfort, and features. also, to have a dd capable of roll racing gtr's would be fun

If you never Dd a Z, then you have no idea what you are missing!!!! It's like someone who has a million dollars, uses only a small amount, hoards the rest for some future and dies leaving it all behind.

I DD and I wake up enjoying the thought that I will drive it everyday. Other then when it is actually snowing, I drive it.

If you owned a C63 (AMG) or an M5 you wouldn't DD a Z? Thats like saying I would DD my GTR but keep the Z as a weekend car. BS meter went off the grid.

I was using the Z as a DD and the Porsche as a weekend car. The Z was a zero burden car for us. We did move on from it but not because it was a burden. It was just time.

Nope, love it!

They only burden is always wanting to mod it and getting the stink eye from the wife.

6MT · 02-28-2014, 08:41 AM

The only "burden" my Z was for me, was that it took up valuable space in my garage in the winter. My wife's car was in there and my daily driver had to live outside.

Mt Tam I am · 02-28-2014, 10:04 AM

NO. In no way do I see my DD 370Z as a burden.

If anything the car is a deal, as most every other car I'd buy is more money.

My Z took up garage space last year but this year I decided to cover it outside with an $80 Walmart cover. It worked just fine and will last a couple years prob. 3 months outside was long enough so I moved it back into the garage 2 weeks ago during a short warm spell. She smiles at me for it everyday now.
