no plan on the Z because I will only keep this for 2 yrs or so. by then I am hoping to pick up an used GTR. I am picking up the new Toyota Highlander next week (my long term vehicle). I will probably mod that one instead. hahaha

grats on the car. you should've waited another year though. The 370z is suppose to come some time next year with the upgraded 3.7L vq 330hp and its suppose to be a few hundred pounds lighter then the current model.

haha. i am not talking about modding it like how we would do it to a benz or Z. it's more of just dressing it up with running boards or whatever SUV addons.

I just pulled my deposite back from the Highlander tonight. The dealer couldn't get my package until a month from now. I will look elsewhere or pick up something else. this sux

granted they have the same engine, but the g37 is a sporty luxury car. The 350z is more of a sports car with smaller dimensions, lighter weight and less sound dampening materials.
