    I admit it... It is TRUE... but I love you guys!

    Ok.. Dave is right, it is true...
    I do love you guys though and no other forum in the world will come close to Fnsweet or the people on here!!! (can I get an AMEN?)

    With that said, as Dave said, I turned Japanese. I actually have friends who are higher ups at Nissan and helped me with a GREAT deal and believe it or not this car is amazing. Does it have the straight line power of the Roush? NO! Not even close, but I would more then bet it would keep up or outrun through the turns. The value I got for the money was amazing. Big brakes, big wheels, 6sp performance manual with synchro shifting (automatically revs the engine perfect for downshifts into turns so no more heal toe), suspension, gauges, and more for 31k...

    2010 370z base model with the sports package, 6sp, lighted door sills, and front and rear mats.
    here are a few shots I just shot tonight of the new baby...

    well she's a beauty for sure and knowing you, I'm sure you'll somehow find a way to make it even better in no time.
    Congrats on the purchase and please stay in touch.

    Can't say I'd take the same route and go japanese...but I do like it.
    Have fun with it, be careful and like I said, don't be a stranger.

    What can be done "aftermarket" to easily increase horsepower? Turbo? CAI? Programmer? How much to get that thing screaming fast with mod's? Beautiful car.

    Nice ride! Probably not so nice for a 6-1 person like me though.

    Congrats, they are nice cars. I sat in one at the big Auto show In Cinci last year.. I believe they are a little smaller than the 350 Z's though? I've also heard that they are pretty much maxed out from the factory, not sure how true that is.. No HID's?

    they actually have dual intake, so you can add dual CAI's which look pretty cool and gain 15 rear wheel hp... and you can turbo them and they are coming out with a supercharger for them as well... so yes, lots of mods can be done as well as exhaust... I will be ordering the twin CAI's in the next month or so... (stock, naturally asperated they are 335hp and a hell of a lot lighter then a mustang.

    YES, they have HID's standard on the car! As well as push button starting, gauges across the dash, mini computer to tell you things like outside temp, gas mileage, etc.... and even a on board computer diagnostic check you can run! As for the size, they are a little smaller in length then the 350, new designed rear end, but less then 2" narrower then the Mustang and my friend who is an Engineer at Nissan is 6'3" and he fit very comfortably inside my car. He said it was a bit of a pain to get in and out of it, but once in he was amazed at how much room it had and how comfortable he was driving it....

    and thanks everyone for the nice words and not bashing me.. I meant what I said about the people on here (even Deb..lol) and plan on stopping by from time to time...

    From the title, I thought this was going to be a beer commercial.

    That certainly is one sweet looking ride.....I can see what the attraction is! I'm sure the handling is superb and the interior is fantastic looking.

    Oh....and no....you can't have my Budweiser!

    I just don't know how they can include 14" Brembo Brakes, 50/50 balance, leather panels, bucket racing seats, and Ford can't. Its a nice car but I skipped the Z because its modding for power is limited on the Z.
