What I love about my Z

HEK

that every time I get behind the wheel of the Z it puts me in a great mood, in a way therapeutic

I love the lines of the Z. Especially the bulging fenders on the rear. It looks muscular and athletic. I also like that the line of the rear hatch is higher than the hood line. I've always liked cars with that kind of profile. Of course I love the way it drives on rails and love the exhaust note of my Berk exhaust. And I like the way it digs and pulls through 2,3, & 4th gears. I love it!

The uniqueness is definitely a factor for me. When I first sat in one back in 2012 my first impression was that it reminded me of what I see from in car videos of race cars. It just felt right. Four months later it still does. It has not worn off. It is fun to drive quick, it is fun to just cruise. It is a great conversation piece because it is generally much more unique than the rest. Unless you’re at ZdayZ or a MAZOC meet. I always look forward to driving the Z and can't wait to get in, fire it up, and goooooooooo.

I attended a local car show and was stuck with 4 Dodge Challengers SRT 8
editions. These Dodge owners were fixated with my Nismo... One asked
me about the Nismo in your face wing. I told the chap it's meant to keep
the sports car down at high speed. What a weekend....The Only Nismo at the
car show....

What did ya'll say. I was daydreaming I was driving my Nismo. Oh well, back to my dream.

I got a Stillen CBE a few years ago and it sounds better now, than when I installed it, by miles.

I just went through a couple twisties and it felt so good The love affair never ends.

Everytime I got in and hit the start button, the simle that would come across my face was priceless. Even though I had issues over all I loved the car, especailly down in the SoCal canyons and the Northern AZ roads. It was definately fun to drive.

lines, size, power, handling, and not being perfect brings character.

jpkirk

OH .... OH OH .... OH

Not perfect? What do you mean not perfect?

Sure it has problems with stock brakes, the CSC wants to die prematurely, but hey ... um .... ok, character. So, of those of you where the CSC has failed, have you been able to successfully flat shift it home? That would be something else I would love about the Z.

no i was thinking more in terms of where it lacks like exhaust note, some decorative pieces, etc where you put your finishing touches to make it yours.

i dont foresee my csc nor brakes failing anytime soon. and im already 5yrs into ownership. will keep this car another 5-6yrs.

jpkirk

That's my plan as well. 10-15 years seems like a good run. I'll truly be an old fart by then. I am going to put better brake fluid in though.

My 2010 Nismo will be 4 years as of August.. After all the mods and add ons
I'm with you on the 10 - 15 year plan....

Others have covered most everything already. Out of everything about the car, I think I like the experience of starting it the most... it even cranks the engine like it means it. The gauge sweep is a great touch too.
