I don't have a tricked out ride. I do have a radar detector, IMO that is all I need. Stock subs are great. What sound system did it come with?

I would suggest a tint and new black rims, but very nice car nevertheless, I love black.

Have you seen the bronze NISMO wheels? I think those would go great w/ a black Z

I forgot about tint! That's something I'm going to get done for sure, in a week or two... how about just 35% all the way around?

Hah, tinted windows and bronze rims on a jetblack 350Z. Get ready to have drug dogs unleashed on your car. 😀
 
Detroit, eh? Put on an ATOT badge and I'll keep an eye out for you next time I'm cruising 😉

Congrats...my cousin drives a silver one, I'll be going on many a ride when I visit NYC in July.
 
Nice car, and nice looking neighborhood, too!

It must be Californian or southern thing, because every time people on these boards post pics of their neighborhoods, they always seem so upclass, perfect, well-kept, neat, green grass, etc.

Where's all the normal looking neighborhoods with missing sidewalk blocks, some parts with no sidewalk, dead grass, gravel and asphalt driveways, etc? 😀

I live in the 'burbs of Detroit LOL It's just a newer subdivision (7 years old)

Yeah I see you live in Michigan now after posting that.

I guess it's just that I'm used to neighborhoods that have been around for a hundred years.

I just traded in mine🙁

I miss it....

Good car, you will like it even more in a month🙂


Why did you trade it in??

Wife wanted a suv so we got a 04 Xterra, what a hunk of sh!t btw.

Going to look at trading the X in on a 05 GTO this week.

 
Nice, I think the GTOs are awesome. Lookin' to take advantage of that GM discount?? 😉

Although I was dead set on a Z, I wish that I would've taken the opportunity to test drive other cars such as the GTO, S2000, RX8, Evo, STI, etc.
 
Too fat. I'd still take the GTI 'cause I don't race my car through twisty roads to work.

What other color would you have considered besides black?

Hot ride, better keep it clean or it'll look like shit. We have a black vehicle as well.

Daytona Blue 😎

I know what you mean about keeping it clean... my last 3 cars were all black so I'm used to it! I just checked the weather and it looks like rain and Tstorm coming this week 🙁 Good thing I just waxed it so a simple wash and detail spray will keep it nice. The thing that sucks the most about black is the road debris hitting the front of the car and the damn swirl marks!
 
I came across an SRT-10 Viper on the way back from the Palace tonight on Rochester road...I pretty much just bowed down to him and gave him the thumbs up. Good time for you to get the car...this Michigan weather isn't going to hold long 😛
 
cool car man

i think its got that little something over its rival the RX-8.....350z's are rare beasts where i live, which makes it all the more special when you actually see one blasting down the road. RX-8's while nice cars are pretty much round every corner!

I drove the Z, the G35, the Mustang before I bought a GTO. The GTO price/performance/comfort was unbeatable (for me).

Enjoy though, very nice ride.

I know 🙁 Any recommendations on a winter beater around $500 bucks? LOL

I finally saw another Z yesterday on the freeway and he waved to me to follow him and we cruised for a lil bit, but I couldn't keep up since I'm still breaking my engine in.

I could've waited until the 06 models, but I wanted the car now so I have more time with it.
