Welcome to z world of Z. You made a good choice if you were looking for a purpose built driver's car that is reliable and is affordable. I bought my Z, a new 2019, at the end of 2018 and now have about 47k trouble free miles on it. I have taken very good care of it and have given it the best maintenance. The car is solid, with no rattles or squeaks and still has a tight and firm suspension My car is a magnetic black sports pkg 6MT with upgraded stiffer Hotchkis anti roll bars and stainless steel braided teflon core brake lines. I recently had a Stillen Gen 3 long tube intake, a Fast Intentions x-pipe exhaust and an EcuTek tune done on a Dynojet chassis dyno. The stock 332 hp at the crank has gone up to about 378 hp with a uniform 15% increase in torque over the whole rev range. Before the mods my car would outhandle and outbrake Mustang GTs with the Gen III Coyote engine but would lose on the straights. Now, my car can keep pace with them on the straights. The point is that these cars are solidly built as high performance sports cars that can be tweaked to deliver even more with the right mods at an affordable price. I had a two-stage paint correction and a ceramic coating applied when I got the car, so it always looks as if it's been just waxed. It turns more heads than a Porsche that I owned years ago.

Almost picked one of these up a month ago before I got my 2018 mustang GT. The dealership didn’t wanna come down on it so I ultimately walked away. Like you said no point to buy one new since they haven’t updated them much over the years. First thing I noticed when I test drove the 370 was actually the quality of the interior although dated it seemed to be made very well and handled pretty good too. Also it packed a decent punch too for a straight 6 I thought. These 370s hold their value pretty well so when the time comes I doubt you will lose anything on it which is always a plus! It’s a sexy looking ride for sure and until you’re in the position to get your 350 I think this is a very suitable option for the channel! Congrats on the purchase!!

As a manual Z owner, I can't blame you for not liking the clutch. When I first got my Z I thought I had forgotten how to drive a standard. It's by far the most unforgiving stick car I've ever driven, but once you get the hang of it, it's fun. I've always been curious how the auto Z drives. BTW if you think it's fast stock, have it tuned and put a catback exhaust on it. You'll be hitting 350 HP easily.

I agree on the change of pace, and the last Mustang he had had issues, but not all do. You can't compare a Z to a V6 Mustang, because price wise, the Z competes with the V8 Mustang, which will destroy any Z (Nismo included). In both an actual race and in the Horsepower per dollar value, the equally priced Mustang wins every time. Without some serious modding, there isn't a 370Z out there that's gonna match up against my 2018 Mustang GT, a Camaro SS, or even a Scat Pack Challenger. I lost one race to a Nismo 370Z in my old 2014 V6 Mustang, and it was close. Not really getting into what happened to the 2019 Nismo driver that was silly enough to try and race my GT. The operative word here is TRY, and he paid a lot more for his ride than I did for mine, so really, it's like I beat him twice.

@@acidspaz4252. I agree, My GT handles good for what it is, but it still can't corner like a Z. That's OK, it isn't meant to. I don't care about that. I like straight line throw me back in my seat speed with some ability to take turns. Both the Mustang GT and Camaro SS excel at that. As I said, my brand new Mustang GT was less expensive than a new base Z, and is quite a bit faster in a straight line than even a Nismo, so I win the horsepower per dollar ratio battle as well.
