thanks everybody.... so used to the clutch and shifting from the civic... that i'm not that comfortable on the 350z.... i've already stalled 3 times on a red light.... so embarrasing.

went to carmax and they offered 5500 and made the nissan dealer do the same thing.. cause they wanted 5000 for it... but i had to scream and be an a$$ then they gave me 5500... downed 6000 the difference was like 14000 or 15000 something like that... can't really remember...

just currious why you chose the 350z over the s2k. I traded mine for an s2k, but i know that the 07 350z is 330hp much faster than the old one..what year is your car?

well i would have gone after the s2k but i'm not a big fan of the convertible, and the price was way above the 350z.. and can't afford that much on monthly payments.... that's why i went with the 350z..... but i miss the civic....

I drive my friends 350z...its a pretty nice car with a lot of low end power. I think the hardest part was just getting use to the threshold from the clutch to grabbing first gear. I love the shifter a lot better then my integ. I know what you mean about the clutch. After i drove the 350z for awhile, using the clutch on my integ felt like paper since it was so light compared to the 350z.

Good luck with your car. The Z's respond to turbos really well.
