Thanks for the warm welcome guys. From reading reviews and watching a million videos online I feel the Z will cover so many bases that I can enjoy it and keep it for a while. I'm a serial car buyer and most cars are lucky to last 6-12 month in my possession before I get bored or something else catches my eye. I've had in excess of 50 cars now at the ripe old age of 30 so I'm looking to slow that down a bit and that's where the z comes in. I do roughly 10-12k miles a year so my main car needs to have the toys and gadgets I mentioned in my first post along with others such as cruise control, nav and xenons.
I took a test drive of the new GT86 as I thought with its good looks and sterling reviews plus the great kits it comes with as standard, it would be a worthy purchase. Turns out most of the hype is just that, hype. It's pretty plasticky, sounds terrible under load and is about as swift as an ep3/dc5 but without the vtec. Seating position, steering, handling balance and kit level are top notch tho but perhaps at a lower price point.
I'm currently running a facelift 05 DC5 integra type r and a 95 celica GT4. The Honda will be leaving to be replaced by the Z but the GT4 will be kept as its my toy.
Has anyone any info on the above question I asked regarding which model year if any did those extras come on the 370z.
Cheers,
Melly
