oHUTCHYo Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 (edited) Hi Guys, newbie here, I may be thinking of picking up a 350Z. Never been in one but have always admired them, perhaps its time to scratch the itch. Recent cars owned; EP3 Civic Type-R 2005 Impreza STI MK5 Golf R32 Astra VXR Nurburgring For several months now Ive been waiting to find another 2005 STI, though Im becoming impatient and questioning what I now want. Ive done some research and understand the three variants of the 350Z, I believe my budget would stretch to a mid-milage 2007 and therefore the higher revving 313bhp last revision. Any advice for a noob? Clearly I need a test drive of one, if only to see if I can enjoy the creamy, linear V6 like my R32, as opposed to the turbo torque thump of the VXR/STI. This may be unpopular but I find a rear spoiler really finishes off the 350Z and makes it look more attractive. I'd also want a new exhaust system to release the V6 sound. Any feedback? A cheeky request perhaps but something Ive done for others in the past, I'd really appreciate anyone local to me taking me (Hartlepool) out for a quick spin as a passenger and offer any ownership advice. Otherwise any tips for someone on the market for a Z? Edited May 7, 2014 by oHUTCHYo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
