Got a new car! Nissan 370Z
After more than 3 years with the TL i was craving a little more performance so i traded it in for a 370Z almost a month ago. I got 18k for my 07 TL-S with 70k miles and paid 36k for the fully loaded touring '09 370z. Nissan was having huge discounts on the 09's.
So far im very happy with the 370z, the 7AT transmission is very fun to drive and shifts very quick with almost no lag. Car feels powerful in any rpm range, gets to 100mph very fast and handles like a champ :P

Thx for looking

Wise man.

Love the look of the Zs. Black looks amazing. Good luck with it!

I think any car with 300+ hp is probably still very fun to drive even if it's an auto.

You of all people should be happy he picked the AT. How quickly we forget the rev-matching debacle.

Love the styling of the 370. Congrats.

the blacked out headlights stayed on the car when I traded it.


Thx for the compliments. I'll post more pics when I get my wheels and exhaust.
The modding has begun : P

I still think synchro-rev is one of the top most stupid features to be found in any car.

It's a feature that nobody ever wanted or asked for....but Nissan figured out a way to take the fun out of a manual.....

yea...I know...you can turn it off

Nice choice! Did you get the Nismo pads? Check out this month's Car and Driver. They did an article about how inadequate the stock pads are if you decide to track it after they wrecked their long term test car after just a few laps.

Nice car looks sharp.

Illuminated door sills = hot

Btw what are those door armrests made out of? Looks like Alcantara!
