I traded in the tC

I miss the automatic in L.A. traffic. I miss the 6 disc CD. I miss the interior room and relatively comfortable seat. I miss the lower insurance payment. Lastly, I miss the folk at scionlife.

But I love the Z ;)

No, I'm really no longer here often enough to mod like modding needs.

my350z.com is a pretty active site for the 350z. Welcome to the Z family.

What made you choose the Z over the G35?

the Z performed better. I bought the "Performance" model with the limited slip differential (lsd) and the vehicle dynamic control (vdc). Also, the Z is actually rated at more hp and torque because of a different tuning of virtually the same motor. They're both quick.

Actually, the bottom line was I just liked the Daytone Blue color on the Z.

"Performance" model....which was between the Enthusiast and Touring; meaning no nav or Brembos but came with the LSD, VDC and HomeLink mirror.

I got a pretty good deal as well, but I was disappointed in the amount I got for the tC in trade. I really should have sold it myself.

had about 33,300 on an 05 tC that was 14 mos old. I was offered approximately $13,500.

I drove the $#!+ out of the tC in that year ;)

Yeah, you probably should've sold it yourself. Even with those miles, they'll sell it for more than that.. you could've too. But that's okay... it's a Z you have now! Waiting on pictures, too.
