I have worked on a bunch. (collision repair)
They are nice to work on and hold up very well in collisions.

Good choice, just be smart with the long skinny pedal.

doesn't look like it would carry much for tailgating. :-)

[kagejb]

That is one sexy car.

[JonM229]

Hooray for Japanese cars!

[Raven07]

The dealership im dealing with for this car, is currently out of stock with the car i want (the Touring) version, but he reassured me that they can get me "exactly what you want and it'll be all yours"

Im putting 15,000 down on it, PLUS trading in my 2008 hyundai Accent (only has 27,400 and something miles on it) and expecting anywhere from 2,000 to 6,000 for it, which will goe towards the Z also ... so i'll actually be putting anywhere from 17 to 21,000 down on it =) =)

All in all ill have 90 percent of the car paid for, THAT day, even before i drive it off the lot. =) :happydance:

Mine , comes with XM radio (already paying for it so why not) heated seats (its a 2 seater... its a sports car, not a family car, so it needs just two seats..) and Blue tooth exc.... navagation system... and a few other things as well

Color? i dont really care, just no colors like red or yellow ( i test drove the yellow, flippin sweet!) cuz its gonna be a magnet as it is... no need to draw even more to myself because of the BRIGHT color lol

[theFRANCHISE]

I want one and would even settle for a 350z, but they're only 2-seaters; I need a backseat because of my nephew & niece, plus I plan on having kids. No sports car for me yet.

[Raven07]

i plan on having kids in the future too , but right now, im single and enjoying life as it comes to me, and been working my butt off for this car..... i plan on keeping it for a very VERY long time, having it paid off and even when i am married and kids? this will be MY car that i drive when i me and the mrs just want to get away for a few min or so while relatives watch them for a few

but thats the in the future? the Time is Now. and Im living in the moment... you only live once...

the 370z is lighter than the 350, weighing in at JUST over 3,000 lbs, ... 332 horsepower and a V6 engine, puttting out the mid 200 )230-240 pounds of torque...not bad for being stock

1. Base Model Z (30,000 or so)

2. Touring Model Z (sport) (35,000-37,000)

(and the most expensive)

3. The Nismo. starting at over 40 grand

[codizzle]

Yea this is the car i look at when i need motivation to keep a full time job school and run a business... Theres a dealer right by our shop.. Actually stopped by there tonight and walked around a bit..

One day

[jus'_crAzy]

This is a remarkably well balanced car, but that's not surprising because it comes from a rich history of Fairladys dating back to its Datsun days. Congrats! Have fun on the S-curves!

Just don't get the Roadster.

[Purple Nurple]

One of my best friends was just hired as the General Manager of a Nissan dealership. I'll probably be getting one for cost in less than three months.

oh i know, theres just something about the roadster that i just dont like, idk what it is but i just dont feel the same way that i do towards the Coupe....

The Car (from my recent test drive) is seemingly flawless in regaurds to performance, as im aiming for the Touring version, its a great all around car (for being a sports car) AND (as long as you dont floor it) is relatively good on gas estimated (25-29 mph on the highway)

i dont have mine yet, as the 2011 dealership shipment hasnt come in yet...but im loving this car from what ive experienced first hand, read, and felt.....hands down...a great purchase with major upside.

Well, the feel could absolutely be different. Here's why:

Convertibles generally don't do as well as their hard-top counterparts when it comes to cornering. There might be some noticeable differences in the feel of the car when you're taking a turn. This is because you're basically missing the top half of your frame! So it's only natural that the car's stability would be lacking as well.

And of course, there are exceptions to the rule, i.e. the Honda S2000 with its sexy X-Bone chassis... Drool worthy.

[Raven07]

well my final decision i decided on the base model (cheapest) and still very happy with the choice, go to pick it up in a little bit today.....

and my dad called my insurance company and its only going to cost me $200 more than i was paying for my accent... which is great! =)

just keeping ppl updated.

[JonM229]

We'll also keep you updated on when we start caring.


Note: it hasn't happened yet

[codizzle]

Or when u buy me one.

[Raven07]

Note: why i blocked jon.

heres a pics of it

Note: My dad called the insurance company to see how much it would raise my amount per year and they told my dad "200" ...dad and everyone including me were shocked. the insurance company (im with Travelers) said that "because it doesnt have a [b]turbo[/b] , to us, its not considered a sports car, if the car had a [b]turbo[/b].... then it would be considered a sports car" very lucky on my part =)

[H8R]

Sick ride man! I love me a Nissan! Especially a Zed!

[JonM229]

No encouragement, please

[1/28/01]

side note - Travelers is one of the worst insurance companies in the world.

[Raven07]

travelers? really? ive heard they've got a bad rap for stuff but my parents been with them for a very very long time and nothing has happened, and ive been with them since getting behind the wheel in 2008, no complaints =) but thats just us..

to H8r: Thanks man! bunch of [b]forum members on here should get a few Z's[/b] and we should meet up someplace (maryland of course!) =) that be sickkkkk

this car is definately an eye catcher, show stopper, attention getter, everyone stops, stares, gawks.... the whole deal lol they look at the car, then back at me, then back at the car like "what?! you? afford this? really? WOW!!!! NICE!!!"

Side note...... i only let it get to about half a tank of gas, because the Z takes Premium Gas (90 octane or higher) only... so its the most expensive.. but i dont really drive anywhere so its welllllllllllll worth it my friends
