New Owner!

Hey everyone...last night I picked up my new (to me) 996 turbo! I've gone from an '07 350Z -> '10 NISMO 370Z -> THIS:







Going stock right now, but may go for an exhaust and tune in the near future. Happy to be part of the forum, and looking forward to contributing.

I had a 350z as well with a whole bunch of work (286whp) and I can say that car was only because at the time I couldn't afford a Porsche. They even look sorta the same .

As I said to another guy before, Upgrade Approved.

Great looking car. I really like yellow on these cars as it helps them stand out.

I actually emailed the PO about my car the same day I sold my 350z.

Nice upgrade. There seems to be a trend forming here; I also had a 2003 Nissan 350Z bought new then supercharged and ultimately traded in to get my 996TT a few years ago. Best upgrade I ever made

Thanks for the replies, everyone.

The difference between the Z and the 911 is night and day... Should've just went and got one back in '10 instead of the NISMO 370z...

@ECS Tuning - It's an '02 with ~36K mi. It's pristine, and completely stock. Owned by CEOs/CFOs/C-whatever-Os and was a company car (who gives that as a company car?!) in TX a few years back. Got the car at Motorcars Washington; best buying experience and Jarrod's the best salesman I've ever dealt with.
