LOL a 350Z. I don’t know why but that never came to mind. You had me thinking it was a sedan based on your previous comments  . It is surprising how little attention the 350Z gets when you consider the performance and price. I think it is a nice looking car, not great but nice. From what I have read it holds its own against cars almost twice as expensive :shock: .
It will be interesting to see your impression of the car’s performance as you have a chance to familiarize yourself with the 350Z. So how long are you planning on having the car?

HAHA great, finally! It is superb in black! Sadly too many ppl buy it in either silver, blue or copper wich end up beeing pretty common! There is none in black around my area!!! Sexy!

Track edition right with the Brembo brakes? Does it have the navigation too?

...well, don´t know yet, maybe ´till october or something like that, i mean it´s just for the weekends, i won´t drive to work with it, just for crusing around, when we´re speaking of crusing....very nice sound indeed, BOSE stereo always turned off... 
yeah, that´s been one of the reasons, in my area no one has a 350Z, i mean no one has a Nissan, but that´s another topic, but it´s definitely an eye catcher here, don´t get me wrong, i don´t live in a slum, it´s more the other way round, but ppl here have their BM´s, MB´s, Audi and some "exotics" as a daily driver no one has ever talked or thought about buying such a car, so i found it quite interesting to have one... 
first impressions...well, sure when someone is used to different types of cars first quality impression isn´t the very best one, there´re quite some things to complain, but i simply LOVE the idea of that car, it´s definitely a true sports car for anyone, i mean as lakatu pointed out, it´s cheap but is capable to beat some way more expensive cars hands down...
it´s simply a fun machine, very sporty character, nice engine and tranny, i hate the Nissan ESP system, it´s awful, just something for 80 years old IMO, so i hardly drive with ESP on, it´s sooooo nice to go sideways with it, very easy and also controllable, gearbox is nice, very short shifting travel, very firm, only 2nd gear is a bit of a problem when shifting fast.................
hope i´ll have some time to write a detailed report, and to take some more pics next weekend...

Well the reason I got confused is I thought that the gold Brembo brakes are only sold in the track version ... at least in the US...

The 350Z is a great car.. maybe not up to german quality standards, but a great car... especially for the price 
I love the black paint too.. congrats on the new car 8)

...there she sits, back home again...but unfortunately alone in the garage since my wife has "her" Z4 in spain, and the E65 sold - *still sad about that* :cry:
here´s a first vid, 0-100kmh, sorry had been ultra fast shooting, only with a 3megs digi cam of a friend, so quality kinda sucks...
i think it´s something around 6.4secs with ESP on...

hope to find some time this weekend to write a little report and probably take some more pics...
but something tells me that i won´t have that much time this weekend...

Sad to see the 7 series go, but great to see that you've purchased/leased a 350Z. Good value as everyone including yourself have pointed out. Congrats, black suits it very nicely. Enjoy it!
