You are correct. As I mentioned before, I thought I'd be happy with luxury until I test drove the Z.

I like a well balanced car, straight line speed is not my main concern. And I do prefer manual.

NSX, huh? Has your insurance premiums gone down yet?

I'm gonna keep it going with another question.
The car looks good as is but....when I see a Z with big rear lips on 19 or 20 inch wheels, it's one of the best lookers out there. Any plans on ******* it?

YEAH!!! You're turning 25!!! Another benefit from turning 25 is being able to rent cars without adult supervision...

Now all you have to do is get married with children to get even cheaper insurance...

No, I doubt I would go to 19 or 20's. I like the stock 06 wheels and the unsprung weight from 19 or 20 would not be to my liking.

I do agree with you on the look of deep dish wheels. I might do that but stay with 18's.

Besides stating the obvious since we're on this message board, he went from IS250 to 350z. :P
