The Z is fun and all but there will always be a faster car than it. Just like when you buy a vette, its fun and way faster, but there

The Z is fun and all but there will always be a faster car than it. Just like when you buy a vette, its fun and way faster, but there will always be faster cars. When you get into a vette in the street, the only competition you'll have is 5 million other vettes and car's in that sports car range which is a good feeling yet very lonely and very common car in my opinion. But I rather have a Vette than a Z for the speed. It be pointless for me to have anything faster than a Z since I don't regularly attend drag stips or autox etc. Unless you don't mind rampaging the streets to supplement for it. It is fine to own a sports car and baby it but you'll be tempted. So I would really put some serious thought into it. I kinda regret getting the Z cause i feel bad babying it most of the time, but I like to take care of my machines cause I'm a gear head.
Just a ramble random paragraph put together btw bwahahaha |

$60k is a lot of money for used cars. There are so many choices!
Lotus Exige/Evora/Elise, M3, Z4M, Carrera S, Cayman S/R, etc. Last edited by Bking; 07-24-2014 at 12:39 PM. |

Anyways, I tend to agree that pretty much any sports car is fast enough for most of us. Then it comes down to do you like the way it looks and how you feel when you sit inside it and drive it? That's all HIGHLY subjective. Test drive a bunch of cars, find one you'd rather have than the money sitting in your bank account.  Personally, I'd go with the Z. It drives great and looks better than any car anywhere near it's price range. It's a steal. Just my opinion! |

Bleek, 1st question I gotta ask you. Have you owned or driven a 6 mt 370Z? 2nd question, what are you going to use the car for, DD, track, 1/4, auto x?
Your initial post says you want something faster than a Z, manual trans, under $60k and new. A new base C7 or base Shelby GT will be right at that amount. A new Nismo will save you $20K plus and handle just as good, if not better, just a tad slower. But it will eat your A4. So test drive the Z or better yet, have an owner near you really take you for a drive. $20K plus can buy a lot of other things that put a smile on your face as well. |
