would you reccomend a 370z? i hear they drive heavy and it feels weird turning or something.

Idk where you heard that, that's completely wrong. The car feels very light from the drivers seat because of it's really well planned weight balance. It's turning is on-point and as far as agility goes, it's much better than comparable cars. Regardless, I have a modded suspension tuned for street racing (I mean that not in the bad context, but in the context of not tuned for tracks specifically, but still tuned for racing), so my car will out perform a stock Z.

I'd 100% recommend it to anyone looking for a car with some serious power to back it up that's looking for a pure bred sports car. An FR-S is fun as forget to drive, but something about having an immediate, powerful response when you push down on your pedal is really satisfying. At the same time, the Z is not a muscle car. It'll be a completely different experience from a Camaro SS or Mustang GT. Those cars will pull harder when you put your foot down, but they'll feel sluggish and heavy around turns and when accelerating/braking. I'm a sports car guy, so the choice is clear for me.

A new 370z will run you about $35k after taxes and everything. A used one will run you about 10-12 grand less than that. Sport Package and Touring Package will add to that, but IMO both are essentials.

pfft
I wish my parents would ever let me get a 370z
if my mom's boyfriend gets a new car, they might give me his Mini Cooper S, which I ADORE
but he has no interest in big sports cars, and I don't think they'd buy me a new (or used) car at any point instead of just handing one down

never really ridden in one, but we talked about it at a car meet i went to, with a 370z owner's passenger.

someone else on reddit was talking about it too.

[Caution]

Oh my god you guys I feel like I have stalkers. So many people stare at my Dart. So many.

Provided I live in a town where stuffty pickups and old cars are the norm, I guess a brand new orange car captures some attention.

It's not my direct predecessor, but it's still a predecessor of mine. The 350z was preceded by the 300zx, which was preceded by the 280zx, 280z, 260z, then the 240z.

I also saw a horrible DeLorean in Mackinaw City, Michigan. It had chrome five spoke rims, low ride height, and a body width black wing on the back. It looked absolutely horrible but I saw it while the car was moving so i didn't get pictures of it.

I've considered it. Then decided against it.

i did a thing

[Zloff]

my first car, not my pic but it's the same color

the exterior is super ug but the interior is nice, I got it in awesome condition for really cheap, and I get over the 200 HP benchmark with it sooo yay

[Lord Furdle]

So my dad bought this the other day:
2014 Porshe Cayman

Same color:


interior:


It's really nice, I had a meeting for my university so he drove me three hours round trip :)

[Georges]

Dang.

[$trinick]

That's the same exterior color as my dad's new Porsche 911. It's a pretty color, huh?

His interior is tan though, not white.

P.S. that interior is from a 911 Turbo not a Cayman, I thought it looked strangely familiar.

[Caution]

As insanely gorgeous as light colored interiors are, I don't think I'd want one. I like my black.

I like my black interior too, but on a hot, sunny day when I first start driving my car it's very difficult to turn the wheel as I do this sort of palm-dance as I rotate it without touching it with my fingers.

I saw a silver BMW Z8 while walking in Petoskey, Michigan today. Quite a rare sight, they don't really even show up in car shows often.
