Why a Z

kfull · 05-24-2014, 09:26 PM

I got to drive a 350z back in high school and ever since the Z was my dream car

Why?? Because you had a turbo beetle

Anyone, who even considers buying a Z, should put it on their bucket list. You'll not be disappointed. My wife and I have owned two - '09 coupe and '10 roadster. Loved both. Awesome sports car, full stop.

I don't get the fascination with the sound of the LS V8's or even the Ford's in their Mustangs. They sound good and they are fast but I've driven and really love the sound of a Merc AMG, Audi RS4, and the Porsche GTS. They just have this finessed and cleaner V8 roar in the cabin. I could just imagine an exhaust and it's double the pleasure but I digress.

Back on topic -- The Z because it is just a cool car without extra work. Some cars have to work hard at it. Now if you mod it, it becomes a magnet. It is just easy on the eyes and an attractive looking car. Some babies are just born ugly, but the Z, it's got good looking parents.

HEK, axmea is right, you do appear better looking in the Z than the FJ!

Wow Z envy, that's uncool but it sucks to be those guys. I'm the same age as you and have been married to a wonderful woman for 27 years. She spends money reasonably and has always understood that I need my toys.

Same here my wife is irreplaceable, she makes money grow and cooks. I don't spend a dime in the cafeteria at work like most people do and if you do the math it all adds up, but you're right in calling it Z envy.

I'm 24, I fell in love with the 350 back when I was in 8th grade. It just looked so damn sexy too me, and the stock note was so smooth! As the years rolled on I always envisioned saving up enough to buy my own. The first time I saw the 370 was when I was playing NFS Undercover. I thought, "what have they done!?" But it grew on me so much, and then the Nismo came out!!! I finally started making decent money and bought my dream Nismo 370z in January of 2012. Why a Z? Not because it was the best for the money. Not because I was in the market for a sports car. I chose the Z for the passion. Roll the credits
