It might have Rick.

Trouble is I really don't have the time anymore to bring one back to life, and one that has been fully restored is now pretty much out of my budget. Damn those baby boomers that support Barrett-Jackson

Whatever car I get; I intend to drive it a lot (trip to Canada's east coast for example) so I will need reliability. Wow; I really am getting old.

For many reasons I'm looking at a one owner 350z with full maintenance documentation or a new 370z. Probably a coupe but a convertible seems to be calling to me. If I do go for the later and want a 370z then I'll have to wait to next year when it's available.

Just to confuse the issue when the Camaro is available I'll be in line for a test drive.

With a lot of remote management these days, we rent a lot of cars at work so free upgrades are common. Last year I was driving in (not driving, cause this would be a written admission of guilt if I ever was driving,) both a brand new Mustang convertable and a Dodge Charger.

The limiting chip kicked in on the Mustang at 115 MpH but the Charger just kept going and going and felt much tighter to the road doing it. We never found the limiter on the Charger because we never got the highways space. Might be interesting to have them go at each other without the limiting chip.

The Charger was also more comfortable and just generally a much nicer car for long trips in my opinion. If I was looking for a new fast car, it would be high on mu list.
