I'm picking up my new baby today. I traded my 2005 RSX for a 2007 San Marino Blue Touring Z. Can't wait to lay into that throttle.

Congrats on your new Z. You will love the San Marino Blue Pearl. I got my Touring SMBP in April and have loved every mile. The paint color looks cool in the direct sunlight.

Just be careful with that thing broski.

the 350 has been called the #3 Death Causing car in the US. Those things have a lot of power that needs to be handle with some intelligence.

#3 death causing eh?? That is actually kinda funny to me b/c it is so surprising. There are cars out there that are much much faster and don't handle nearly as well as the Z (i.e. 2007 Shelby-500HP) I guess the number of those cars on the road must not be as great as the number of Z's. Anyway, coming from a 2003 Mach 1, I can definitly say that car was far more dangerous than the Z b/c of it's ability to kill the tires and not go so good around corners....especially in the rain.

Well, there is a reason Ford is mentioned, I've owned 2 Mustang, a '99 Mustang GT (which I bought new) and a 2003 Mach 1. The '99 was a great car, beat the crap out of it and she stayed solid. The Mach was built cheap, oil pump gears are pot-metal, cylinder heads have cooling flow probs, leather was crap, etc. My other cars have been an '87 Buick GN, '96 240SX SE, '03 Infiniti I35......NISSANS RULE! (Although the GN was by far the fastest and most unreliable)

Congratulations on your new Z. I got a 2007 350Z in Solar Orange last April and still have only 600 miles on it. Hope you enjoy your as much as I have mine!

Actually mine is going to be a daily driver, so I hope I'll enjoy it more. I drive 200 miles a day for work round trip.

My dad drove my car (2006 Mitsubishi Galant) round trip of 250 miles a day for work for 4 months. The car now has 36k miles on it, and havent even had it for a full year. (I average 40-50 miles per day)

Good luck with the car!
