Hnnng I would so get a Tesla if it were even remotely in my range of affording.

I had a 2008 Honda Accord for four years before I bought this.
My sister has one of these. All black, tinted, HIDs, 2 door. It's beautiful. She also has a LoZ plate on the front :D

ot: I don't have a car since I'm only 15, but I'd like something like a 2009 bmw 128, something along the lines of that.

I own a 2001 vw jetta that I bought completely with my own money. More than can be said than a lot of these mommy daddy boys posting in the topic

Yeah it's a great car, but I needed something with more power. 4 cylinders wasn't cutting it.

pics are from the dealership cause im lazy to take my own



I hope one day I will move to US and buy a really cool car, cars are a lot cheapier there compared to Brazil, sadly.
that's more trouble than it's worth, and yeah cars are a ripoff in brazil :(

Next year I'm probably getting this:



not with those rims though

don't have a car because i'm fourteen, but i'm working towards a 2009 or 2010 mustang GT

I don't like Prius's mainly because the exterior design is just not good looking. It is a great car for conserving gas and money though.

bad choice


So, I was thinking of you guys while I was out.

Figured I'd do a pull for you guys, but I forgeted up the camera rotation by accident. Can't blame me, I was trying to drive.

But I did another pull on the highway, this one was high speed. Sorry about the music, my hands were full so I couldn't turn it off.

The sports package comes with rays-forged rims (way prettier than mine), a limited-slip differential (essential for going fast, I've almost died multiple times due to lack of this), a spoiler (mine has this anyway), and big brakes. The biggest thing for you in the sports package, however, is the automatic downshift revmatch. The engine will automatically blip downshifts to match revs (when turned on) making your driving experience not only 100x smoother but taking out the need for heel-toe shifting in the car. It's pretty amazing. Anyway, the 370z isn't actually a great car for modding. The car isn't very popular so modification kits are expensive (twin turbos costing upwards of 10 grand, intake exhaust hovering around 1k each, long-tube headers are 1k or you can get high-flow cats or test pipes for 200-600 depending on which and resonation) but it sure is a fun car to drive. I'm planning on getting a quaife differential and 4.08 gears, which will scrape off a few mpg on the highway but it'll keep me in the powerband so my acceleration will be incomparable to a stock 370z. The gears plus high quality differential should cut more than half a second off the 1/4 mile time, which would be longer than a bus in practice. It puts me in the same league as Camaro SSes and slow 2013 Mustang GT drivers. IMO it's probably the most effective mod you can do for cheap. It costs about $1k for the differential and about $500 for the gears, plus about $500 for professional installation.

Also, just a general tip. Black is a loving awful color to have your paint in. You see every single blemish, scratch, swirl mark, water mark, and dust particle on your entire car. Unless your car is garage kept at home and at work/school, your car won't ever look 100%. I wash my car every week and the only time it ever looks completely clean is while it's still wet. It's just a really difficult color, it really shows everything. In comparison my friend has a grey one and it shows nothing unless you look at a certain angle. You could probably leave a white one on the street for a month before people would notice the residue buildup. Don't get me wrong, it still looks good, but in my particular situation I have waterspots that are pretty obvious up-close. I need to get a paint correction to get rid of them, but in the mean time my car never looks clean. The only color I'd trade my car for is Monterey Blue. I have a friend with that car (img of his car here) and I love what he's done with it.

Thanks for all the info man! I'd definitely be going for the sport package as it sounds like a huge benefit. That monterey blue color you posted actually looks amazing. I'd either go with that or white. I think either would look nice with black rims and tint.

I'll actually be able to seriously start looking once I get certified as an EMT and get a job firefighting that pays me instead of volunteer. Then I'll turn my Escape into a firefighting vehicle and focus on getting my 370z and making it amazing.
