New Z Owner!!!

[cory2081]

Well, I am the proud new owner of an '07 350Z. I bought a base model, which is fine with me....all I need is a gas pedal and a steering wheel....oh yeah, and 6 gears It's Carbon Silver with Carbon interior. I'll post some pics soon. I must say, the '07 rides alot better than the '03 Track model that I drove, and it seems like it sounds a little different too. Anyway, I LOVE THIS CAR!!!! It's just crazy to have a car with only 15 miles on it!

congrats on the Z, as far as I knw the suspension wasn't changed? but the new motor does pack about 20 more hp and a higher redline than the 03 models, my only complaint wiht the base model is the open diff, but thts an easy upgrade later

[cory2081]

Well, I wouldn't think that the suspension has changed either, but, I'm quite sure the '03 was a much rougher ride. Maybe someone had upgraded the suspension?? I don't know, I didn't think to look. As for the open diff, yeah, that's my only complaint, but, it's not like the car has a huge traction problem.

it's not like the car has a huge traction problem.

then your not driving it hard enough

it can be problematic on wet roads, or any form of racing; HPDE, Autox, drags ets

best way is to take it back to the dealer and tell them to take it off...usually have the porters do this in 5 to 10 mins..if the dealer is to far...using a blow dryer to soften the glue...carefull not to heat it too much...you are just gently heating it so you can get at the edge of the sticker...gently peel it off heating along the way...by heating the sticker. you will eliminate any gum residue if there is any left just use a bug and tar remover. I took mine back to the dealer and I'm like take that **** off.....j/k

thanks dude...i'm actually getting a llumar clear bra put on this weekend, and they said they'd take off the factory stickers for me. I hope these don't look stupid. Does anyone have a clear bra? They're not common my part of the country, so I've never seen one on a car before. I'm getting one that covers part of the hood, the bumper, side fenders and backs of the mirrors -lifetime warranty.

Well, yeah, I'm sure the car CAN spin the tires pretty well, but, from like a 10-15mph roll in 1st, it isn't a problem. For instance, one of my previous cars was a 2003 Mach 1 Mustang with a 100 shot of nitrous......it would kill the tires from a 50+mph roll...that's what I call a big traction problem...lol. Honestly, I havn't REALLY slammed the car hard....but I will get to that soon enough! Don't get me wrong, I have floored it numerous times, just not from a complete stop. I want to be sure the clutch is good and seated first.

if it's vynil decal style a pinstripe eraser takes them off in seconds, you can pick one up at any body shop supply house and use it in an ordinay cordless dril, just keep moving so as not to burn through the paint, or andy body shop would be able to handle this quite quickly

I snapped a couple of pics today but I forgot how to post pics on here...lol. I don't see anywhere to upload them on the reply box. Anyway, I've been driving the car a little harder the past couple of days and I must say, it is pretty darn quick. I had a new Saturn Sky try me at a light earlier today and I smoked him. hehehe!
