looks good simon. I would say increase the thickness of the lines as it'll show up better on the shirts.

LOL I notice all those nice neighborhoods always tend to flood like that, but here in the "hood;" water never passes the curve.

Hopefully everyone is ok

We are suppose to have rain all this week.

Haven't been active lately - but still checking the thread every once in a while.

I have moved on from my TL... to a FR-S!

I miss all the features that I took for granted in the TL, but all together I'm happy with my downgrade

I drive ~100 miles a day. 4 banger, fuel efficient, fun to drive, and I always loved the way they looked.

It didn't feel like a sports car - like it was boring to drive. Car felt heavy, engine was strong but felt like it was being held back. Clutch was a little to heavy for my taste too.

I mean, it wasn't a bad car or anything. Just couldnt see myself driving it

Interesting.......

I know that the 370 is heavier than the 350 but more powerful. I am assuming it was the base 370Z and not the Nismo? Also, was it the coupe or roadster?

I drove the base 370z coupe(IIRC). Can't imagine the nismo being that much better though

Nismo has a tuned ecu, upgraded suspension, wheels, and exhaust.

The roadster handles way different than the coupe.

I dont get it though the base coupe runs low-mid 13, 0-60 @ 4.7, its lights than our TLs, handles better, so I am puzzled by this.

I think I am going to go and test drive one.

nice pick up mackdaddytran... Do you know anthony and huy from inline? They built a very nice affordable turbo system. As for the 370z, i like everything about the car except the price tag... that upgrade from the 350 to 370z is night and day.
