I have put a lot of time, energy, and (especially) money into the S... full Veilside bodykit molded into the frame (not just glued on with tape), 10+ coat candy paint, suspension, braces, full I/H/E replacement, all of my lighting components, etcetera, etcetera. It drives like a dream, but it is 10+ years old now, and I'm at a crossroads... sleeve the block and turbo it (which includes finding a way around MD's smog check, not fun), or get something with more grunt to begin with. The 370Z fits the bill nicely, I believe. I hate to say it, but I need to go automatic this time around. I'm spending too much time in traffic for my daily commute and the ol' clutch leg ain't what it used to be. So, if I get rid of the S, start with a blank slate on the Z and keep the mods to a (relative) minimum, I think I'll do better in the long run. I was all set to purchase a base model with the sport package, but the SO turned up the side of her mouth. Damn dealer slapped down a pic of the upcoming roadster in black cherry, she pointed to the catalog, and smiled. No need for two convertibles, so here I am...
