Potential candidates to replace your Z34 in a few years?

Ah realistically, I'll probably get me a nice sport sedan. Most likely a Beam'rrrrrrrrrrrr. I've wanted one for awhile.

Honestly I'm not sure. If they make another Z then I'll look into it but let's take a look at reality. In 1995 the Z at the time was a 300zx.. the twin turbo made what, 300hp roughly? Back in the day that was impressive and fast. The corvette in 1995 also made 300 horsepower with the LT1, correct?

Okay so pretty much 14 years later (2009 model year) the 370z comes out with 332 horses. It may seem impressive out of a 3.7L (in certainly is) but in respect to the LS1 camaros they are practically identical in straightline performance...

Do you see where I'm heading here. 332 horses (flywheel) just doesn't cut it anymore. The m3 makes 400+, the Camaro SS, SRT8 Challenger, Mustang all make over 400 horses. Now do you understand? Yeah, the 370z lacks power so in the future I'm buying a faster car. Why downgrade?

^^^ Hmmm. That's a good idea actually. I could be happy with one of those

A brand new M3 or G37S would be my choice. At least the BMW comes with 3 yrs free maintenance I believe, the G37S will keep me in the Nissan family.

The other cars you are looking at are a garage queen and/or lot of money for service.

The new Infi M's look quite nice also, though they seem a bit too refined.

I like the silver brushed into the wood grain.

My next car will either be the IS-F, the G37 (maybe sedan), or an Escalade EXT.

haha, hopefully there are some good promotions in yalls futures because while it would be nice to go from a Z to a Ferrari, realistically speaking, by the time i finish paying on my Z, i wont be making a huge amount more... I have a feeling that my thirst for adrenaline and speed may die down a bit with age and i'll look for something more refined, possibly an Infiniti coupe or a 5 series.

When I make my first billion, I'll buy you a Ferrari.
