We drove a Crossfire and a 350Z. There was no comparison -the power and fit/finish seemed better on the Z. Plus the Crossfire rattled some. We were going to go look at a red Z but the people bought it right in front of us - they looked like they were pushing 70! Never too late to have fun! We bought another - a 2005 black convertible with low miles. We had leather put in after we bought it and they did a perfect job. My GOD this car is scary fun - and scary fast! I have owned a 260Z, a 280ZX, and a 300Z but they didn't even come close to this little monster. The handling and acceleration are unbelievable. I wasn't too sure about the convertible part since we have never had one - but it's a blast. And the factory exhaust sound is pretty deep. I promise you, there aren't too many cars out there that can out-perform this thing. Some of the exotics (NSX, Lamborghini, Porsche turbo, and Corvette) could... but you can blow the doors off most everthing else out there. I live in the midwest and it's a hoot to scorch the SUV or pickup that's tailgating you or hogging the outside lane. Even my wife, a sedate driver for a long time, goes crazy in this thing. It's gotta be the funnest car we've ever owned.

This forum has been pretty quiet. Are there any new owners out there? It's been a year now since I bought my roadster. Still love it. I didn't drive it much over the winter, as it has summer performance tires on it and I'm too cheap to buy a second set of tires - and our garage is full anyway so would be hard to find a place to store whichever set is not in use. Anyway, wondering particularly if there are many women buyers? Most of the other Z owners I've met in real life or on-line are guys. Just wondering if there are more women like me who love driving a fun, fast roadster? To me, it's a car that works equally well for both genders - good-looking, fun to drive, reasonably economical for what it is, etc. |

Hi all, I've used Edmunds forums before to buy and maintain my 1999 Trooper. Now I've used them for my Z (2006 roadster - touring model). I was a bit surprised to see that there aren't many folks talking about their Zs here... interesting, I guess that everyone is out driving.... My wife loves driving this car as much as I do, so it will be a challenge to see who gets the keys first when we go out! See you online...

Replying to: dadsz (May 29, 2007 11:28 am) I think more people hang out on the Z enthusiast boards www.my350z.com than in here. That said, I wish more people WOULD post here. So, give up the details - what color did you get? Did you buy new or used? I note you said it's a 2006, but wondered if you got a great discount on a new leftover '06 or bought used. (I bought an '05 in April '06 and got a whale of a deal. Redline with black interior, Touring Roadster. Lately we've been having some fabulous weather. I just drive around feeling sorry for anyone not in a convertible!

Replying to: biancar (Jun 03, 2007 10:59 am) Thanks for the welcome! Here are the details which I posted in the What did you pay forum: Got the last one at the dealer in Annapolis. Silverstone with black top, black leather, mats, kick plates, wheel locks, out the door for $32,600 + TTL. MSRP was $38,675, car had 98 miles on it. Edmunds TMV for a certified used 2006 with 0 miles was $34,125 and Dealer TMV price was $32,889. I figured the certified used was the closest comparison point with the Dealer TMV price as the floor. So, I am a happy roadster today... I now have roughly 300 miles on the car! But it is raining here in Maryland today, so I used my wife's Highlander... I used to post as Tetonman on the Isuzu Trooper boards here on Edmunds, those folks were awesome to talk to about our trucks. I was surprised when I came to the 350Z forums looking for information that they were so dead...guess everyone is out driving....oh well, I'll keep checking here from time to time. But I'm also looking at some of the other Z forums so I can learn more about this great car and make some friends online to discuss the cars. I just haven't posted there yet, but most likely will over the next couple of days...

Replying to: dadsz (Jun 03, 2007 5:11 pm) I'm typing from Outer Banks of NC right now, and it's been raining all day here as well. Tomorrow also looks a little dicey, but then we get sunshine again. Such a great beach car! Maybe we can get a little more conversation started here...
