I wanted something more fun as a daily driver. Checked out the Mustang and it was "OK" but not exactly what I was looking for. The lack of paddles on the auto was a turn off and I don't want a manual trans car to deal with in rush hour traffic.

Had been looking for a 370z for about 6 mos and came across one exactly like I wanted for a steal. Made a low ball offer on this 2009 Touring Sport with NAV, illuminated kick plates, Bose stereo with dual subs, etc and the dealer came back within $180 of my offer and threw in a 100K mile 74 mos bumper to bumper warranty.



It drives great, I'm averaging 24MPG, and the power has been very surprising. Car weighs 3300lbs and has 332 horses. The trans is a 7 speed and the shifting with the paddles makes for kidney punching shifts. Very firm and quick. It drives like a go kart which took some getting used to. I'd say 1-1.5 turns of the steering wheel and it's at full lock to lock.

Took it to the drag strip this past weekend along with the Challenger. My goal was a 12.90 and it ran a 13.080 at 105.14 BONE STOCK on the street tires. I kept spinning on the 1-2 shift, so if the track had been a bit better I'd have hit 12s pretty easy. It hit a best MPH of 108.18.
